Wet, soapy and slippery tiles and bathtubs\u2026 oh my!<\/h2>

There are serious slip and falls risks whether you are 5 or 95 years old.<\/em><\/strong><\/h3>\r\n

No wonder the bathroom is one of the biggest sources of fall-related injuries in the home, regardless of age. <\/em><\/strong><\/h4>\r\n

Support rails, bathtub handrails, and shower grab bars (whatever you might call them!), enable a person to maintain balance and stability while moving or getting into or out of the bathtub. Designing your bathroom so that it allows you to remain independent for as long as possible will boost your quality of life dramatically. Making minor improvements to your home doesn\u2019t have to be difficult or intimidating, with grab bars typically falling under a few categories.<\/p>

Secure Bathtub and Shower Grab Bars<\/strong><\/h4>

As mentioned before, whatever age or health issue you have, having something to hold onto in a slippery and wet shower or bathtub is a sensible decision. It can save you from any potential falls or slips that prevent injury. For your bathroom, there are several types of bathroom products to consider:<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

\"Vertical<\/a><\/h4>\r\n

Straight Grab Bar<\/strong><\/h4>

A Straight grab bar<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>can be installed vertically or horizontally at the tub threshold to help entry and exit of the shower or tub. They come in various lengths to suit your requirement, whether you\u2019re older or younger, taller or shorter. You are\u00a05 times more likely\u00a0to fall while exiting the tub than getting in, so having a secure handrail is critical.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

\"120<\/a><\/h4>\r\n

L-Shaped and 120 Grab Bars<\/strong><\/h4>

L-Shaped<\/a><\/span>\u00a0and\u00a0120 degree<\/a><\/span>\u00a0grab bars are often placed on the back wall of the tub. This provides greater access to shower safety while in the tub. Having these types of shower grab bars allow for gripping at multiple heights and often allow for greater safe movement in the tub.<\/p>

\"\"<\/figure>

\"SuperPole<\/a><\/h4>\r\n

Temporary Grab Bars<\/strong><\/h4>

If you are in a rental unit or can\u2019t install through tiles in your shower, there are temporary or \u2018no damage\u2019 install grab bars that you can use too. Floor-to-ceiling support poles like the\u00a0SuperPole with SuperBar<\/a><\/span>\u00a0allow you to place support beside the tub to help you in and out. Other options like\u00a0tub clamp on rails<\/a><\/span>\u00a0install in under a minute to provide a secure gripping surface.<\/p>

If you\u2019d like to see beautiful or decorative grab bars, make sure you see the Plus Series<\/span><\/a> or Invisia Collection<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\r\n
