Why Choose Toilet Safety Rails?

Choosing the right safety rail is important for complete protection in the bathroom. Selection will depend on several factors such as age, weight and situation. One person’s requirement will differ from another’s. Need-based selection should include the user’s health. If the person has limited dexterity owing to arthritis or a disability, then the safety rail for showers should have a comfortable grip with adequate space between the wall surface and the rail. For a more secure grip, a smaller sized rail would be preferable. Someone with visual impairment can opt for colored shower grab bars which make them stand out from the color of the wall and helps identification easier. Selection will depend on the color of the wall because the safety rail should be in contrast with it. Rail positioning or shower grab bars placement will also play an important role in selection.

Safety rail for showers that run from floor to ceiling are for those who need help turning around and stepping in and out of the toilet or bathtub.

There are bariatric safety rails to accommodate heavy-duty persons. Then there are those which can support up to 250 pounds. The finish of the safety rail will depend on the user, too.
