Bathroom Grab Bar and Walk In Tub Installation
Why Grab Bars Are Important
For many homeowners, grab bars in the bathroom are an upgrade that’s easy to overlook compared to the many more significant and impressive options available during a bathroom remodel. However, these accessories are some of the most sound investments you can possibly make in terms of future-proofing your home. This is because, unlike many other upgrades that may be considered solely aesthetic, grab bars enhance the overall safety of your bathroom spaces, particularly for the elderly and those with mobility challenges.
The Leading Cause of Injury
Falls are the leading cause of serious injury and even accidental death in people over the age of 65. Many of these falls occur within the bathrooms of their very own homes, where wet, uneven surfaces provide an extreme obstacle to many who struggle with mobility. Installing grab bars in showers and beside toilets is recommended to provide extra stability and reduce the likelihood of often critically dangerous falls occurring.
Even if you do not currently have an elderly person living in your home, installing grab bars is a good investment that allows you and your family members to age in place without worry. Furthermore, these additions make your home more accessible for guests or future buyers if you intend to sell your home one day. They’re simple additions that could mean keeping those with limited mobility out of the hospital and may even add value to your home in some cases.
Choosing Bathroom Grab Bars
When choosing which grab bars are right for your bathroom space, you’ll have a wide variety of options to make your selection from. These options range from thinner, less intrusive grab bars with many design elements to thick, utilitarian bars that provide unmatched performance. They come in a wide variety of both finishes and materials to ensure you’re getting exactly what you want and need with your grab bar installation. While you can never go wrong with a classic stainless steel grab bar, Bathcrest has many other shapes, styles, and finishes to choose from. Our professionals are here to help you sort through the available options to find the right match for your existing bathroom or your bathroom plan in progress, and we can even help you find ADA grab bars.

And They Have Other Benefits!
Not only do walk in bathtubs in Utah from Bathcrest look great, but they have many great therapeutic benefits, as well.
Hydrotherapy has been used across cultures worldwide for centuries due to its benefits in improving blood circulation and relaxing muscles. This makes it an essential component of many physical therapy plans, especially for those with limited mobility. When mobility is restricted, muscles can weaken or atrophy from lack of use. However, the warm water of a walk in bathtub allows individuals to extend and use these muscles more effectively, promoting blood flow and maintaining muscle tissue health and functionality. This process leads to numerous benefits offered by a walk in bathtub.
