The mounting screws that come with the grab bars should be used for proper safe
installation; they are specially designed and recommended by the manufacture.
Substituting the mounting screws could result in the bars detaching from the
surface. Grab bar mounting screws must be securely attached to solid wood so
it is important to refer to the manufacture’s installation guide before
attempting to mount the bars.
For steam showers, if the unit was ordered with additional reinforcement with
the intent of grab bars placement, then install the grab bars according to the
manufacturer's instructions. If the unit was not ordered with additional reinforcement,
you must have access to the back side of the unit. A 3/8 inch or 0.98 centimetre
piece of plywood backing must be installed on the fiberglass laminate with resin
or construction adhesive in the area you wish to install the bars. The plywood
should extend 6inces or 15.24 centimetres past the length and width of the bar.
Make sure all holes are filled with a silicone caulking prior to mounting the
bars for a water tight seal.
Depending on the type of shower you have in your bathroom whether it is a single walk in shower unit or steam shower, two-three bars are into the solid surface. Steam showers are an ideal alternative for those who prefer showers over baths because they are equipped with a seating area inside the shower, providing soothing relief. The bars should be a height of 4 feet or 1.2192 metres from the bottom of the shower pan. For baths the grab bars should be 3 feet above the floor or 0.9144 metres. To ensure proper safety, mount the bars horizontally rather than vertically or on a slight angle. This will give the person ample space to latch onto the bar should someone start to slip or loose balance.
Selecting the appropriate wall mirror is also determined
not only by the size of your bathroom, but also on the size of the bathroom
vanity, bathroom mirrors should never extend beyond the vanity as it will
create an unbalanced look. The ideal wall mirror for bathrooms with double basins,
are rectangular wall-to-wall mirrors to disseminate adequate lighting exposing
bathroom accessories as well as the other bathroom furniture, increasing the
presence of the bathroom.
Solid white bathroom suites are a way of adequately diffusing light for an airy
feeling, when the light is reflected off of white bathroom furnishing the illusion
of space is instantly created. All white toilet and sink set will give your
bathroom a cohesive look, but more importantly set the stage for the induction
of color, warm hues of reds, blues or greens are now showing up in the latest
bathroom designs, accented with gallantly solid colored ceramic tiles or tiles
with a motif inlay to tie the look of the bathroom together for an inviting
sanctuary.
