Suction Grab Rails

Suction grab rails are a handy way to maintain independence in your bathroom and other rooms around the house. They are very easy to install with no drilling required. You simply mount them onto clean tiles and other smooth surfaces using the suction cups. They are easy to remove, making them portable. This is ideal for visiting relatives or when staying away from home.

Safety.

Suction grab rails come in various styles and colours and are easy to wipe clean. Using a grab rail helps prevent slips and falls around your home and increases confidence. They can be put in shower cubicles, by your bath, toilet and used in any room with certain smooth surfaces. These surfaces include: metal, glass, stainless steel and acrylic. They can’t be used on painted surfaces, uneven tiles or non-porous surfaces. They are also ideal for young children, helping them in and out of a bath or shower safely and confidently.

Not just for bathrooms.

Most people tend to use suction grab bars in the bathrooms, but they’re also handy in other rooms. They stick to certain kitchen surfaces. This can help you get off a perch stool or to steady yourself as you move around the room. They are intended as a support & not fully weight-bearing, however, some are very strong.

These rails are an affordable alternative to electric bath lifts, stools and seats. Walk-in baths and wet rooms are expensive so grab rails provide a handy solution and save you a fortune. The rails are waterproof and oilproof, so you can use your favourite bath oils and shower gels.

These suction grab rails can help guard against slips and falls and give you increased confidence and independence around the home. With over a third of people over 65 having a fall each year, and half of those over 80, these really are a useful idea.

Falls are the most common cause of death from injury in the over 65s and cost the NHS over £2bn a year and over 4 million bed days. (source: UK Health Security Agency)

They make a thoughtful present.
