ADA Safety Grab Bars for Bathrooms

Handicap safety grab bars for showers and baths provide superior safety and comfort in the handicap accessible bath and shower in the metro Atlanta home. ADA grab bars now come in a variety of styles, colors and materials, and with features such as anti-bacterial coating, thick nylon bonded to aluminum, a peened finish for better grip — and much more. Grab bars for bathrooms are securely installed into walls, tubs, showers, and adjacent to the sink and  toilet. Grab bar finishes include powder coated, stainless steel, brass, brushed aluminum and peened stainless steel.

Stationary grab bars are permanently mounted to the wall or floor. Fold-up grab bars rotate to pivot out of the way for greater convenience and safety, or HealthCraft Dependa Bar Lower Grab Bar With Bath Boardfold away when support is not needed, providing clear floor space and avoiding tripping or crowding. Grab bar accessories are now widely available in colors and styles to coordinate all fixtures, such as handheld showerheads and wall-hung shower seat accessories.

Grab Bar Placement and Installation Techniques

Grab bar placement is determined by user preference, ADA regulations and manufacturers’ recommendations. Handicap safety grab bars for showers and baths in Atlanta should be secured directly to the wall system with Secure Mount Hardware, Solid Mount Hardware, or into wall studs on either side of the toilet and in the shower / bathing area. Wall reinforcement may be necessary to guarantee grab bar stability while users navigate the toilet and bathing areas. We have special pricing Moen Decorator Style Fauceton grab bar installation in metro Atlanta.
