Wall-Mounted Grab Bars
Wall-mounted grab bars are available in a variety of lengths, usually ranging from 12 to 32 inches. Right and left angle bars are also available as well as other special configurations. Wall grab bars are available in nylon polymer coating, stainless steel and chrome plated steel.
When placed in strategic positions, wall bars offer physically challenged individuals a great degree of safety. They may provide assistance in areas of the bathroom other than just the bath tub or shower.
The quality of the wall grab bar and proper installation are critical. The bar should be of heavy gauge steel and welded construction. There should be no opening for moisture to enter. Obviously they should be totally rust resistant.
