Ensure Your Bathroom’s Safety with Grab Bars

Bathrooms are integral parts of every home. Unfortunately, with water, soap, and slick surfaces bathrooms can also be dangerous areas for many people. Small children, the elderly, and those with mobility issues may need some help to ensure that they can navigate slippery areas such as showers and tubs safely. And while many people think that towel racks can be used to lend a hand, unfortunately these decorative items are just not strong enough to support someone’s weight if they were to fall. That’s why every bathroom should have at least one grab bar installed.

Grab bars are large, solid rails that attach to the studs in your wall. They can support your weight even during a fall, so they can help prevent serious injuries in wet or slippery areas. They can also lend assistance to those who need it to get safely use toilets and other areas of the bathroom. Installing them should be something that everyone considers to make their bathroom safe.

In addition to ensuring that your bathroom is as safe as possible, many grab bars are also available with decorative escutcheons and in multiple finishes as well. This enables you to blend your grab bars into the rest of your décor so that they appear to be a seamless part of the rest of your bathroom’s design, rather than something added at the last minute.

For people that don’t want to make their safety or mobility issues obvious, this can be a great way of ensuring the bathroom remains safe, while also appearing stylish as well. So remember grab bars as part of your bathroom design to ensure the room can be used by everyone.
