Innovate Building Solutions Offers Affordable DIY Universal Design Products

COLUMBUS, Ohio - Aug. 29, 2014 - PRLog -- COLUMBUS—According to a survey published in June 2014 from Philips and Georgetown University, 96 percent of baby boomers place high priority on maintaining independence as they age, but more than one-third of those surveyed believe that “aging in place” upgrades are too costly. Fortunately, Innovate Building Solutions offers a variety of products that enhance safety, style and accessibility across all price points, with many affordable options that can be easily installed by the consumer.

“Aging in place is a trend that we don’t see disappearing any time soon, as many Baby Boomers are reaching retirement or are currently caring for elderly loved ones in their own homes,” says Mike Foti, president of Innovate Building Solutions. “Universal design increases accessibility for all users, regardless of age, size or physical mobility. So the question becomes, how can we make universal design more financially feasible? At Innovate, we offer many products and online tutorials that are great for DIY consumers who want to implement universal design trends while staying within their budget.”

The bathroom is often at the top of the list for universal design remodeling. For a safer shower at an affordable price, Innovate Building Solutions’ Tuff Form zero-threshold shower base is lightweight, easy to work with, and can be sized to fit the space that is available—perfect for those looking to eliminate the installation costs from a third-party contractor. In addition, Innovate also offers waterproofing kits for customers who opt to convert their bathrooms into fully functioning “wet rooms,” where the entire room acts as the shower enclosure.

Aside from being a nationwide supplier of these products and many others, Innovate Building Solutions also offers regional installation in Cleveland, Ohio and the surrounding areas through its Cleveland Design and Remodeling branch. The expert staff members are also Certified-Aging in Place Specialists (CAPS).

With the 65-and-older population expected to double over the next 20 years, now is the time to make plans for incorporating universal design and creating a space that can be enjoyed for many years to come.
