So....You finally admit that you need grab bars. Great. Now where to put them?
This is not an uncommon thought for us to have after taking the first step of admitting that it is time to have grab bars installed. Mr. Grab Bar of Sarasota has given us some tips on the best locations to have grab bars installed when fitting your shower/tub area with grab bars.
Here is a summary of what they told us:
It is typical to install a minimum of two grab bars in the shower/tub area. One for the purpose of assisting in entering and exiting the shower/tub area and a second one for the purpose of balance and stability while in the shower/tub. The bar for entering and exiting should be installed near the entry/exit point and positioned vertically in order to accommodate a range of heights in both its users and the difference between the floor height both inside and outside of the shower/tub area. The second one to be used while in the tub or the shower should be mounted horizontally or diagonally on the far wall from the entry/exit.
