Grab bars are a
safety requirement for public restroom facilities in many
jurisdictions. Even where not mandated by law or required by
your facilities' insurer, grab bars should be installed in your
restroom facility to help protect you from negligent injury
lawsuits. Grab bars are a valued tool for many handicapped and
elderly patrons - particularly in toilet stalls and showers. If
you are planning new construction or a restroom renovation
please consider installing commercial quality grab bars wherever
you feel they might be needed. Most grab bars are easily
installed and are designed, when installed correctly, to support
weights in excess of normal requirements and are manufactured
from materials, such as stainless steel, that are not only
easily cleaned and disinfected but will endure a lifetime of
heavy traffic. Always select a commercial quality grab bar and
install it in compliance with ADA (American's With Disabilities
Act) installation requirements. Grab bars come in a variety of
lengths and diameters and most come with all the installation
hardware and the instructions you need to properly install the
grab bar.
Grab bars come as
either swing away or stationary security bars so the application
matters. Select the type and size required for the application
and location of your grab bar. ADA compliance with hand and grab
bar placement for handicap accessibility is very important - be
sure to select grab bars that are specified by the manufacturer
as ADA compliant and install them according to the
manufacturer's installation instructions and ADA guidelines so
that you are assured that your facilities grab bars work as
intended. Grab bars found on our website are chosen for their
quality and reputation for proven reliability and durability in
high traffic environments. When maintaining your restrooms be
sure to include grab bars in your cleaning regimen because grab
bars, like doorknobs, need to be disinfected frequently to
prevent the spread of cold and influenza germs. We recommend
stainless steel grab bars for strength and easy disinfection. |
