Safety in the bathroom is very important for the elderly, disabled and infirm. This is why at Cool Knobs and Pulls, we have a range of bathroom safety equipment to help improve their toileting experience. We also carry handicap toilet accessories and handicap bathroom accessories to help reduce the risk of slipping. This will allow them to retain their independence, and more importantly, dignity, during visits to the bathroom.
Types of bathroom safety equipment
The equipment below may seem trivial to the able-bodied, but they are life-changing to those suffering from permanent or temporary mobility issues.
• Grab bars
Grab bars are cylindrical bars mounted on walls at strategic locations around the bathroom, usually at waist level. They provide firm support and allow stable navigation inside a bathroom. They are usually placed near bathroom doors and next to toilet seats and bathtubs. These bars, made from durable and rust-resistant steel alloys, can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. They come in beautiful finishes like satin nickel and Venetian bronze which allow them to blend in with any existing décor.
• Assist bars with tissue and toilet paper holder
These steel contraptions serve a dual purpose – they afford easy access to tissue or toilet paper while giving users the required amount of leverage and stability to either rise or move around the bathroom. The assist bars with tissue holders are also manufactured using durable alloy and come with equally attractive finishes such as polished nickel and brilliant stainless steel.
