Description
What’s in a strong, comfortable grab bar? Comfort Grip Grab Bars have a thick-walled aluminum core surrounded by a white, blue, or gray cover that remains warm to the touch even when wet, and, due to its fluting, provides excellent “gripability” to ensure peace of mind and steadfast confidence.
Fluting consists of slim ridges and grooves, which fit the hand very well and naturally anchor a person’s grip. Water quickly runs off the ridges, leaving a mostly dry surface for a safer, more secure handhold.
Comfort Grip Grab Bars are available in all the customary straight lengths, two popular angled models, and two versatile kits for alcove and corner shower applications (and each kit is expandable with the addition of Extension Bar Kits). All models conform to ADA requirements.
Features:
- 419 lb. static load capacity when properly mounted
- Aluminum core surrounded by a fluted, UPVC cover
- Fluting provides a very grippable surface, even when wet
- 1¼" dia. grips
- 1½" distance between grips and wall
- Water sheds from the ridges to give hands a dry, textured surface to hold
- Escutcheons cover all fasteners
- Meets all ADA standards
- Color options permit bars to blend in or offer high contrast to surrounding decor
