Stay Safe in the Bathroom With L-shape Grab Bars
When placed near the toilet, bathtub or shower, L-shape grab bars can help bathroom users maintain their balance and stability and avoid dangerous slips and falls. Grab bar are also known as safety rails, handrails or shower L-shape grab bars, and they’re ADA compliant, so they’re suitable for commercial use as well.
Grab bars are usually straight and mount on walls, though there are a few other types, including curved and U-shaped styles. Certain L-shaped models can also mount on the floor. At Lowe’s, we offer grab rails for showers in a variety of finishes and colors so you can find a look that blends in with your existing bathroom décor.
The installation of bathroom safety bars or toilet L-shape grab bars can sometimes be challenging. It’s important to ensure the installed L-shape bar can support the full weight of the user, which sometimes means modifying your bathroom walls to add additional structural material. When in doubt, consult a qualified professional to ensure that your L-shape grab bars are installed to code.
