How Many Grab Bars Do I Need And Where Should They Be Installed?
Health professionals typically recommend three grab bars in a bathroom:
• At least one along the back wall in the bathtub or shower.
• At least one along the showerhead wall or whichever end of the tub/shower you use to enter/exit.
• At least one near the toilet.
Things To Consider When Selecting Your Grab Bar(s):
• Length: Select a grab bar that is the suitable length for your bath or shower area.
• Weight Capacity: Choose a grab bar that at least meets ADA requirements (250 lb.); SecureMountTM Grab Bars have a 500 lb. weight-pull capacity that exceeds ADA requirements (when securely installed per instructions).
• Installation: Grab bars that feature SecureMount have a design that allows for secure installation into a stud or wood backing at any angle. When using SecureMount Anchors, there is no need for installation into a stud or wood backing.
• Grip Surface: Consider a grab bar with a textured surface or grip feature that provides a better hold in a wet bathroom environment.
