Grab Bars Delivering Safety and Style

Any bathroom becomes more accessible when you add safety grab bars. As one of the wettest rooms in the home, the bathroom can also become one of the easiest places to slip and fall. A properly installed grab bar helps to enhance safety and mobility in the room. Safety bars don't have to look utilitarian. There are styles available to coordinate with the rest of the bathroom hardware for a cohesive look.

Adding Grab Bars for Safety

When mobility is a concern, safety bars are an essential addition to any bathroom. By making small modifications to the home, homeowners often have the option of aging in place and postponing the needs for assisted living.

Grab bars can be used in many different areas, including:

Beside toilets
In the shower
Near small step downs throughout the home

How to Choose Grab Bars

You don't have to sacrifice style to add safety throughout the home. Take a variety of factors into consideration when selecting a grab bar for any space. If you are doing a complete bathroom refresh, choose a grab bar that is part of the same collection as the rest of the bathroom hardware for a unified finishing touch. Follow all manufacturer instructions carefully to ensure proper installation in the wall, tub deck, or cabinetry.

Consider Size

The grab bar should always be within easy reach. Tight spaces, such as next to the toilet, are suitable for smaller 12-inch or 18-inch grab bar. If you have a longer area, such as a walk-in shower, longer bars provide a greater amount of grip space.

Select a Style

Evaluate the overall design of the room and choose a grab bar in keeping with the theme of the space. Go glam, keep it casual and rustic, honor a traditional look, or look for something super modern and eye-catching.

Choose a Finish

Grab bars come in as many different finishes as they do styles. Keep the look cohesive by choosing a finish that coordinates with the rest of the metallic elements in the room.

Among the most popular finish options are:

Pick a Material

A grab bar needs to be strong enough to support weight. Take a look at the material of the piece and select one that will provide the amount of support you need. Stainless steel, brass, aluminum, and metal are among the most popular material options.

Additional Safety Considerations

Transforming any bathroom into a safe place for the less mobile is all about adding a few safety features. ADA compliant grab bars near the toilet, in the shower, and around the bathtub will provide support when transitioning from one area to another. In addition to adding grab bars, consider adding grips to the bottom of the shower and tub and non-slip bath mats on the floor outside of the shower or tub.

With the right precautions in place, the safety can be improved in any bathroom throughout the home. Safety bars are also an essential addition to business bathrooms so all customers can feel secure. The wide variety of lengths, styles, and finishes make it easy to find the ideal fit for any size bathroom and budget.
