THE STORY OF GREAT GRABZ
"I would rather fall than have my friends think I have a grab bar!"
Those words changed the world of Abbie Sladick, sending her on a fantastic journey of creativity and innovation in a seemingly dull industry.
For over eight years, Abbie had been making dreams come true by designing and remodeling extraordinary bathrooms for her clients. She used products from all over the world for her projects but when one of her clients refused to use a grab bar - Abbie was stumped.
How could she create a beautifully bathroom with an ugly grab bar?
Never to be discouraged, Abbie decided if she couldn't buy a stylish grab bar... then she would design one. The company's signature Wave bar was the result. Now Abbie and the Great Grabz team look towards the future redefining safety in the bathroom by creating stylish products that allow people of all ages and abilities to maintain their dignity and independence.
Bathroom grab bars are essential components for any home, but especially for seniors aging in place and others with balance or dexterity issues. Getting into and out of the shower is not as risky as ingress/egress from a bathtub but still elevates the risk of falls. Bathroom grab bars or safety assist rails are included within the bathroom safety products recommended the most for preventing falls and accidents within the bathroom.
Grab Bars, or sometimes known as bath safety rails or assist rails should be considered for anyone with any issues regarding, dexterity, mobility or balance. All will benefit from shower grab bars or bathtub grab bars.
Today's grab bars are found in a variety of finishes and appointments to complement any bathroom style.
Permanent Grab bars offer the greatest strength. When it comes to installing bathroom grab bars onto the walls of a shower or bathtub, we most often recommend permanent installation.
Clamp-on Bathtub Safety Bars can be found as well- this type of bathroom grab bar is secured onto the side of the bathtub with a dial that clamps down securely onto rubber pads.
The grab bar extends up from the clamp (usually in a U-shape) and provides a stable surface to hold onto.
A bath area should provide at a minimum two stable, sturdy surfaces to hold onto when stepping into and out of a bathtub or shower (ie. two grab bars). They should be reachable by the person exiting the tub, able to hold onto both prior to stepping into or outside of the tub.
Bath safety grab bars that have a non-slip surface as part of the grab bar provided added confidence for the user(s). The metal types will have a "knurled" surface, a set of ridges to help with ensuring a firm grip.
