A Comprehensive Guide to Safer Bathrooms

This comprehensive manual is designed for professional installers, and anyone looking to make the bathroom a safer, more comfortable environment.

At the heart of the guide is a simple truth: a grab bar can make all the difference. Whether helping an older adult maintain independence, assisting someone recovering from surgery, or providing a sense of security for families, the correct installation of a grab bar is a small intervention with a big impact. The guide offers clear, step-by-step instructions for installing these essential supports, covering everything from how to locate wall studs, to selecting the right tools and materials, to choosing between vertical, horizontal, or angled placement, based on the user’s needs.

But the Installer’s Guide goes beyond instructions. It offers real-world insights gathered from years of field experience. There are practical tips on what to do when wall studs are not in the right place, how to reinforce walls with blocking, and when to consider calling in an occupational therapist for a personalized evaluation. It even includes advice on the best drill bits to use on tile and how to apply caulk in wet areas for long-term durability.

Ponte Giulio also introduces a wide range of grab bar styles and finishes, from the vinyl-coated PRO Series with antimicrobial protection to sleek stainless-steel designs and stylish options like the Prestigio Plus and SOLO collections. These are not just functional products, they are well-designed elements that can blend seamlessly into any bathroom decor while offering essential support. Many of these grab bars can double as towel holders, bringing discreet safety into everyday routines.

Beyond grab bars, the guide provides guidance on installing folding and removable shower seats, wall-mounted sinks, and custom-fit shower curtain rods. Each product is explained with clarity and care, and the emphasis is always on combining safety, usability, and aesthetics.
