How Do You Properly Mount Grab Bars To The Wall?

These are the primary aspects that are crucial when it comes to properly securing grab bars to the wall:

  • We never anchor grab bars into drywall alone, making sure we mount the grab bars into a wall stud.
  • We always measure around any plumbing fixture, including showerheads, to offer ample space for future repairs or upgrades.

Can You Perform Marblehead Grab Bar Installation Over Top of Tile?

Yes, we can! We can drill and cut into existing tiles to properly mount and install your grab bar.

Can You Make The Bathroom Grab Bar Waterproof?

Yes, we can! While the grab bar itself doesn't corrode and is waterproof, we always make sure the area is caulked to an airtight seal. It's vital that we properly seal and caulk the areas where we drilled into the wall to prevent any underlying water damage or mold growth. To do this, we make sure to permanently fill the pilot holes with silicone sealant before inserting screws, properly coating the grab bar flange with sealant, as well as properly curing the sealant to a dry finish.

How Strong Is A Grab Bar?

On average, grab bars can withstand 250 lbs of weight before the risk of collapse can occur. We always test the grab bar's durability and strength after completing the installation. And if you're ever worried about the grab bar not being supported to the wall, we can always come and inspect the integrity for your peace of mind.
