Different kinds of bathroom grab bars

1. Entrance longitudinal grab bar
This kind of barrier free handrail is usually set near the entrance and exit of the toilet, so that the elderly can easily open and close the door during going to the toilet, so that they can hold the door when opening and closing the door to ensure physical balance. However, during installation, it is necessary to ensure that the elderly can grasp it, that is, to ensure the grasping position of the elderly. Generally, it is appropriate to be about 1.2m away from the ground. Of course, the details should be determined according to the height of the elderly.

2. Move the grab bar horizontally
In the toilet, the elderly also have to walk horizontally, so mobile handrails can be set along the wall, so that the elderly can move horizontally when going to the toilet, in order to assist the elderly in action. When installing this kind of handrail, it should be set at a distance of 750mm-850mm from the ground, which is convenient for the elderly to grasp and use better.

3. Grab bar for auxiliary sitting and lifting
The shape of the barrier free handrail is L-shaped. Generally, it is set on the side of the toilet when installing, so as to facilitate the elderly to sit or get up. When going to the toilet, it can also help the elderly sit. The L-shaped handrail usually has two sections, in which the horizontal can play a supporting role, which can facilitate the elderly to get up or sit down. If the elderly usually sit in a wheelchair, it is convenient for the wheelchair to move. Pay attention to its position during installation. It is usually 230mm-300mm away from the top of the toilet. If the longitudinal handrail is used, it needs to be 200-300mm away from the front of the toilet.
