Why Grab Bars Matter

Grab bars are one of the most important safety features in any bathroom. They help prevent slips and falls—especially in wet areas like the shower, bathtub, or near the toilet. But many homeowners avoid installing them because they don’t want their bathroom to look like a hospital.

Good news: Today’s grab bars are anything but institutional. With modern finishes and multifunction designs, they offer both safety and sophistication.

What to Look for in a Non-Institutional Design

  • Sleek Shapes: Rounded or decorative forms that look like towel bars or fixtures.
  • Concealed Mounts: Hidden screws for a clean, built-in look.
  • Matching Finishes: Choose chrome, matte black, brushed nickel, or bronze to coordinate with your faucet and hardware.
  • Weight Rating: Look for ADA-compliant or 250–500 lb support to ensure safety with style.

Multifunction Grab Bars (Support + Towel Bar = Win)

Today’s best grab bars do double duty. Instead of standing out, they blend into your bathroom layout by functioning as:

  • Towel holders
  • Shampoo shelves
  • Toilet paper holders
  • Corner caddies

One of our most popular options is the Accent Ring Grab Bar, which seamlessly surrounds the shower controls while offering a fully weight-bearing support bar.

At EZ Able®, we proudly offer a curated selection of grab bars that combine form and function. Customer favorites include:

  • Modern ADA Grab Bars: Clean lines, durable finishes, and discreet style options.
  • Designer Wood + Metal Mixes: Sleek finishes with spa-like aesthetics (limited editions available).

Finish & Placement Tips

  • Match Your Fixtures: Choose a grab bar finish that complements your faucet, mirror, or shower trim.
  • Blend or Bold: Use matte black or brushed gold for a modern statement—or polished chrome for a timeless look.
  • Placement Matters: Install near the shower entry, inside the tub, by the toilet, and beside the vanity for added security.

Installation Options

Installing grab bars doesn’t have to be a hassle. Here are a few options:

  • DIY-Friendly Models: Many grab bars can be installed into studs with basic tools.
  • Professional Installation: For tile or precision placements, we recommend using a licensed installer.
  • EZ Mount Systems: Some models include mounting templates and hardware for simplified setup.
