Buying Handicap Shower Grab Bars
Shower grab bars might just be the most important element in a show to assist someone who is handicap, or who has balance and stability problems. Let’s look at several types of shower grab bars that are available to you. We will exam the pros and cons and prices of shower grab bars.
The easiest shower grab bars to install are suction cup grab bars for showers. These are portable bars that can be installed and removed with the flip of a button.

These are very easy to install and you don’t need any tools to install them. Just position them where you want them, whether on the shower or bathtub wall, flip the button and the suction cups will make the bar adhere to the wall. For them to work properly, the shower wall should be clean of grime and soap buildup. The tile or wall should also be smooth and flat and non-porous, otherwise the suction cups can’t stick to it. You can use these for use in hotel rooms when traveling. These types of grab bars are inexpensive and very easy to use.
The negative to this type of grab bar is that it should ONLY be used for balance and NOT to support someone’s weight. Since a suction grab bar is not anchored to the wall or stud, it could slip off the wall and result in injury. There is the possibility that the bar could slide off of the wall. This type of grab bar should only be used for balance, not for holding your weight. Read the instructions and owners manual carefully to avoid possible injury. Check the reviews about to find out what other people have to say about them.

If you have the budget and setup for it, you should look at shower grab bars that are anchored and permanently installed in your shower or bath. These will be more expensive, but will help support your weight and give you extra security in the shower or tub.

You are going to want to install this shower grab bar into the studs behind the shower enclosure. The problem here is that most studs are 16 inches apart. Most shower grab bars come in 12- 18 and 24-inch lengths. To accommodate this, most people will install the bar on a bit of an angle, so both ends of the bars can be anchored to the studs. There are some grab bars that designed with an angle in mind.
When shopping for a fixed shower grab bar, check to see if it meets ADA code for the bar.
Depending on your budget, you can choose from economy shower grab bars to brass grab bars. You will find many stylish bathroom grab bars made by Moen and other leading bathroom manufactures.
