Wood Grab Rails for Bath and Showers Wood Outdoor Safety Support Non-Slip Handrails Grip Comfortable Mobility Aids in Toilet WC

Product Information

When the dry wood proved hard-going for the axe I turned to the bow saw for cutting away waste at the ends (5) and then the spokeshave for smoothing out the natural hollow (6). And better still, the rail cut from the branch will have continuous end-to-end grain and little of the short grain that’s unavoidable in its commercial counterpart cut from straight and four-square material. Shaping this rail (1) from a bend of hawthorn (2) made small demands on skill and imagination. The branch brought down by a strong south-westerly had grab rail written all over it, albeit in a twisted hand. Hawthorn boughs are typically fluted and gnarly, the timber knotty from frequent branching, and unsuitable for large work, but for smaller items its fine grain and diffuse porous structure bode well for sharp hand tools.

Suction grab rails are the perfect mobility aid option for tiled bathroom walls, such as near sinks, above baths, or in shower cubicles, or wet rooms. They can be fitted and removed within seconds without marking, or damaging your bathroom decor. With safety features such as an indicator to warn when they have lost suction, modern suction grab bars offer sturdy support and are ideal if you need a temporary solution.The following is general guidance. When an individual user is known, personal factors such as the height of the person should be given priority. When standing from a sitting position in the bath you may find it helpful to hold one horizontal wall-fixed grab rail (placed above the bath) with one hand and use the outer rim of the bath with the other hand to push against. There needs to be a 50-60mm clearance between the wall and all handrails.

Equally any vertical post such as a mast support should be designed the need for and holds in mind.Either pop down to see us in one of our mobility aid showrooms or get in touch, and we'll help you decide the best solution for you. Grab Rails for You Important Note: It does NOT include a frail elderly person who is otherwise able-bodied or any person who is only temporarily disabled or incapacitated, such as with a broken limb. A high contrast finish may be helpful if you have low vision - choose grab rails in a colour that contrasts with the wall it is to be installed on. When using these rails you must consider the integrity and strength of the surface to which you are fixing them. For example, when fixed to wall tiles, the attachment of the tiles to the wall MUST be secure.
