Tips & FAQs:

What is the standard angle for an ADA ramp?2025-09-25T14:15:06+00:00

ADA ramp angles may vary by location and application; however, a standard ADA ramp is a 1/12 pitch or approximately 5 degrees per code.

What angle should my stairs be?2025-09-25T14:03:46+00:00

As with any project, we always recommend checking your local building codes and guidelines. Color Guard offers vinyl and aluminum (Speedstair) stair brackets that can accommodate angles from 23-38 degrees. We also offer an aluminum adjustable bracket option to accommodate 0-38 degree angles.

The 5 degree elbows I have already purchased are too steep of an angle for my installation. Is there a way to bend them or straighten them to about 2 1/2 or 3 degrees without breaking them.2025-09-25T14:05:51+00:00

The elbows are preformed pieces that cannot be modified without the risk of damage. We do not recommend bending or straightening them.
