Grab Bar Installation
When installing a Grab Bar for home and bathroom safety, there are many elements to consider in order to ensure the best placement. Our goal is to evaluate your needs so we can provide you with the proper installation so that you feel safe and secure in your household.
Picking the right place:
When selecting the most beneficial placement of your ADA-compliant grab bar it is important to pay attention to the places that you find yourself looking for extra assistance. Some common locations for your bathroom grab bar include the shower, by the shower, or next to the toilet.
Picking the right position:
Grab Bars can be installed horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. It is important to understand each of these options when installing your Handicap Grab Bar.
- Horizontal installation. This option is great for providing support in a larger area along a wall. However, this option’s grip can potentially create strain on the wrist for those with joint issues.
- Vertical installation. This option allows easy grip as well as great stabilization in specific areas, such as getting in and out of the shower. One disadvantage is that this option limits support to one specific area in a room.
- Diagonal installation: This option provides more versatility with support regarding different heights and areas. Diagonal positioning is most beneficial for areas where you would need assistance getting up.
Picking the right type:
Grab bars come in a variety of diameters to best assist your needs. While 1 1/2” is the standard size, a smaller diameter may work better for someone who has smaller hands or joint issues.
