Grab Bars for Toilet & Bath Access

Superpole and Grab Bar for Bathroom Independence

Grab Bars
Balance is a key challenge for the disabled as well as the elderly. Grab Bars are the easiest way to provide the necessary support for the independence we all want.

Applications: Grab Bars are useful almost everywhere in the bathroom:

	For getting on / off the toilet
	For getting up / down and in / out of the tub
	For stability in the shower
	As handrails for stability navigating between bathroom fixtures
	At the sink for stability

ADA Recommendations: The ADA is a long and complicated document but the pertinent parts related to grab bars are:

	Grab bars should be 1 1/4" to 1 1/2"n diameter
	Their should be 1 1/2" between the wall and grippable portion of the bar
	Grab bars should withstand 250 lbs of pressure

Types of Grab Bars:

	Standard Grab Bar - Chrome or stainless steel mounted on the wall - preferably with a textured finish to improve grip
	Colored Grab Bars - Similar to the standard grab bar - but they are painted and usually have a smooth finish that can be slippery
	Designer Grab Bars - Grab Bars designed to match the other metal fixtures in your home
	Specialty Grab Bars: Grab bars that are integrated with a soap dish or toilet paper holder that make them hard to identify
	Super Poles: Mount between the floor and ceiling to create a stable post to provide support when sitting or standing.
	Hand-Rails: Handrails are useful and easy to add throughout the home to provide stability while moving around the house.
	Put EHLS™ expertise to work for you to make sure you have the grab bars in place before it is too late
