Question:

iwish to install grab bar in the bath tub & shower area are there any spesificatiions re dementions ie heigth above tub or can you supply any tips on this subject

Answer:

There is no fixed standard for these grab bars; it is a matter of putting them where they are right for you. There must be adequate backing behind the tile surround for these bars to anchor into; screwing into a wood stud is the best type of backing although this can be hard to find if the tile surround is already in place. Try locating the stud from the wall in the room behind the shower then measure carefully and transfer your measurements to the tile side of the wall. Bob Bathrooms First Inc. www.bathroomsfirst.ca
