Securely mounted grab bars in showers and tubs, set into solid blocking at heights and angles that fit the user.
Grab bars are simple, inexpensive safety devices that make a real difference in a wet bathroom. The challenge is mounting them. A grab bar must hold a person's full weight, which means it needs to be anchored into solid blocking or studs, not just tile or drywall. Towel bars and suction-cup bars are not substitutes. Placement matters too: height, angle and length depend on who uses the shower and how they move. In Nashville, we install grab bars as a standalone service in existing showers and as part of new shower builds, where blocking can be added behind the wall before tile.
We discuss how you enter, stand and sit in the shower and recommend bar locations, lengths and finishes. In existing showers, we locate studs and drill through tile with the right bits, use anchors rated for the load where studs are not available and seal penetrations so water cannot enter the wall. In new builds, we add blocking at several heights so bars can be placed or moved later. Bars come in many finishes that match your fixtures, and some have textured grips for a more secure hold.
Bars are fastened to studs or solid blocking, and not just to tile or drywall, so they can hold real weight.
Height, angle and length depend on the user, and we adjust for how you move.
Every hole through tile is sealed so water cannot get into the wall.
In new walls, blocking at several heights lets bars be added or moved without opening the wall.
