Trend to "Green" Schools Brings Smooth Transition for Accessibility

California Public Schools Save Millions Using Green Building Products for ADA Approved Door Threshold Modifications From SafePathTM Products

CHICO, CA--(Marketwire - August 28, 2008) - For almost two decades publicly accessed facilities have undergone major modifications and modernization resulting in billions of dollars spent on new construction to comply with the guidelines that make up the many facets of ADA law. Already stretched school budgets are breathing a sigh of relief with SafePath™ Products' EntryLevel™ Landings, EZ Edge™ Transitions, and RampEnd™ Landing door and ramp transitions made of 100% recycled materials for a "green," safe and totally compliant school environment with no construction costs.

Until now, modifying ramps and doorways with a threshold higher than 1/2" for accessibility involved concrete construction. For the past 12 years, Van Duerr Industries, Inc. (dba SafePath™ Products) has produced the industries first and only patented, 100% recycled, molded transition and barrier removal products for door thresholds, entrances, curbs, flooring, modest steps and almost every vertical rise known to the architectural and door hardware industry. For schools jumping to go "green" SafePath™ Products come in hundreds of heights and configurations and provide unparalleled safety, affordability and total compliance with ADA standards.

In less than a classroom session, any of the SafePath™ Products can be installed and ready for use without disrupting school activities. Covering a minimum area as required by code, rubber pads are installed easily and fastened silently using the recommended adhesive proven to withstand harsh climates.

Made from 100% recycled tires, all SafePath™ Products are proven and tested for long term use in the harshest of environments. Designed for exterior or interior use these transition "pads" use a patented colorization process, a special two-part urethane coating process that chemically bonds and embeds surface color, guaranteed not to discolor or fade, even in heavy traffic areas such as gymnasiums and cafeterias.
