Proper assessment of the installation location should always be conducted prior to the installation of the grab bars.
Mr. Grab Bar of Sarasota has given us as Sarasota Grab Bars the most important things to be aware of when assessing the location for grab bar installation.
- Always observe the outside of the household in terms of its construction. Are the outside walls made up of a wood framing, cinder block or poured concrete?
- Determine the age and condition of the household so that you have a better idea of what to expect.
- Use the information and knowledge of the construction of the exterior of the home to figure out what is located on the other side of an inside wall where the grab bars will be installed.
- Always be on the lookout from fragile items on shelves and attached to the walls that could easily fall off the wall because of vibration from drilling. Then carefully detach those items from the wall to be reattached after the installation is complete.
- Also be sure to take note of any water heaters, AC units, electrical panel and other large appliances that are an electrical safety risk.
- Scan the interior walls for defects including loose or rattling tiles and other weakness that could effect the security of the grab bars to be installed.
- Assess the grout and condition of the tiles in order to avoid future difficulties when drilling into them.
- Determine if the interior wall is made out of porcelain or granite or any other other extremely hard materials that can wear down drill bits.
