Use shower grab bars and seats to reduce bathroom accidents...

Shower grab bars provide safety and assistance for everyone exiting and entering the shower. With the bathroom being the room in the house with the most accidents, questioning the design and layout of the bathroom with SAFETY in mind is time well spent.

Consider who will be using the bathroom on a regular basis. Are young children going to be stepping in and out of the shower daily? Will elderly family members be using the shower? Even healthy adults benefit from the stability provided by shower grab bars when moving about on a wet floor.

Grab bars for showers are available online in a variety of styles and finishes to match any home decor. Shower seats provide stability in the shower for persons that might lose their balance while standing. Check out the bathroom safety products shown below that are available from reliable suppliers.

Bathroom Shower Grab Bars Installation

Bathroom shower grab bars installation may be determined and regulated by local building codes in your area. In general, there are two requirements for bathroom shower grab bars installation.

The first requirement when installing shower grab bars is to have grab bars that are a minimum of 18" in length. The second requirement is that the shower grab bars be installed between 33"-36" above the shower floor level. Doing so will have the grab bars located for easy access.

An additional vital requirement is that grab bars must be installed using appropriate hardware, and they MUST be anchored to the bathroom wall studs, NOT just to the tile, sheetrock or plaster. This safety requirement will be repeated frequently along with the descriptions for the bathroom safety products shown below.

When you buy ADA Decorative Shower Grab Bars for bathtubs, make sure to check the labels to ensure they have been tested to withstand loads as required by the American with Disabilities Act & ASTM F446. The professional installer is responsible to ensure that the mounting area is secure and the proper mounting hardware is used. You should be able to find chrome, nickel, bronze and brass shower grab bars.

If you are looking to remodel to accommodate a disability - you can find prescreened contractors in your area.
