Grab Bars

Most of us have almost taken a tumble or completed a full-fledged nosedive in our bathrooms. Even if you’re the most graceful of people, slippery surfaces and other bathroom hazards put all of us on the same playing field when it comes to avoiding slips and falls. Luckily, it’s quite easy to add extra stability and support with bathroom grab bars and shower rails.

Grab rails are especially helpful for the elderly, disabled and children as they allow them to safely move about during their daily bathroom routines with ease and independence. The best placement for grab bars next to your bathtub is along the inside wall and in front where the faucet is located for maximum support when stepping in and out — you may even want to install an additional grab bar on the back wall for added stability. As for shower grab bars, place them along the inside wall of your shower stall and just below the showerhead. For best and safest results it’s recommended you follow the guidelines provided by the Americans with Disabilities Act.

You’ll find dozens of bathroom grab bars right here on Houzz to keep your bathroom safe and slip free.
