An odd question for a Tech site I know but this place is a treasure house of information.

I have to get a Wheelchair ramp installed at the rear of my home, this is an area that during the winter does not get much sun and I have been advised that for safety reason
I should not get a wooden or concrete  construction.

Has anyone had experience with Aluminium ramps?

There is a company Able Axcess Ltd that makes aluminium ramps has anyone had any experience with these guys? (see link below)

Any advice would be gratefully accepted.

The ramp would look similar to this





Here is a crazy notion, lets give peace a chance.

My daughter has had one of those ramps for her chair at the previous address for 3 years. Same company etc. Health board supplied once application was approved for semi permanent ramp access.

Never ever had any issues with slip. They have a combination of standard aluminium grip tread and near the door they have like a thick punched mesh aluminium panel. Fully adjugable and modular. Can't recommend them enough
