Personalize Your Bathroom with Custom Grab Bars

Posted by Andrew Flannery on 4th Sep 2024

Shopping online for products in unconventional lengths or styles can often feel like a dead-end search. You might spend hours browsing the net, only to find standard sizes or the exact length you need- but in the wrong style or finish. Fortunately, we're here to make the process easier. We can customize bars from drawings you submit via our get a quote page, or utilize our user-friendly custom grab bar section.

What type of grab bar is right for my bathroom?

Stainless steel grab bars are the industry standard due to their lasting durability and resistance to corrosion. The sleek, contemporary look of stainless steel complements any bathroom aesthetic. These bars are versatile and are commonly found in residential bathrooms, public restrooms, and other facilities where durability and style are prioritized.

HEWI Nylon grab bars, imported from Germany, offer a comfortable grip that is warm to the touch, combining stability with style. The high-quality polyamide material ensures a secure hold even when wet, making it a practical choice for both bathrooms and showers. A wide range of color options is available to complement restrooms in homes, colleges, offices, and more.

Bariatric grab bars are engineered for extra support and strength, capable of withstanding higher weight capacities than standard grab bars. These heavy-duty bars provide stability in hospitals, care facilities, and homes where individuals require additional support.

Anti-ligature grab bars are specifically designed to minimize the risk of self-harm by eliminating points where anything could be attached. These bars feature a welded safety plate that blocks the usual gap between the wall and the bar. They are typically essential in facilities such as psychiatric wards, detention centers, and other high-risk environments.

What options are available for custom grab bars?

Shapes - Grab bars come in many different shapes and configurations, each tailored to serve functions based on individual needs. Choose straight bars for basic support, or shop for more complex shapes like L-shaped and U-shaped designs. If you are looking for a shape more unique than what you are finding on our site, use our get a quote page to work with one of our staff to create custom configurations.

Mount - Select exposed or concealed flanges to determine what the flange will look like while installed. Concealed flanges enhance safety by reducing the likelihood of clothes or towels catching on screw heads, and they provide a layer of tamper resistance. On the other hand, exposed flanges facilitate easier installation and offer more straightforward maintenance access.

Diameter - Choosing the right diameter for your custom grab bar offers personalized comfort and functionality. We offer two main diameter options: 1.25" and 1.50". 1.25" diameters are commonly used because they are accessible for both big and small hands to grip securely. 1.50" diameters are sometimes preferred for its robust and thicker feel, often favored in commercial settings and by those requiring extra support.

Wall Clearance - Every custom installation must account for the space between the grab bar and the wall to ensure a functional setup. Some projects may need additional clearance to navigate around existing fixtures or to facilitate the use of accessories like shower seats. To specify the required wall clearance for your project, please provide details when requesting a quote on our get a quote page.

Finish - Select from a variety of finishes to complement any aesthetic: The standard finish, satin, offers a smooth, matte look perfect for modern spaces. Peened finishes provide a textured surface, adding extra grip for improved safety. Polished finishes deliver a sleek, shiny appearance, ideal for elegant bathrooms. Black finishes create a bold, contemporary look, adding contrast and style. If you are looking for a range of color options nylon bars have many available.
