Stainless Steel
Grab bars are an essential safety feature in public restrooms and can help individuals who have limited mobility or balance issues to maneuver around a shower or bathroom. They also provide a convenient handhold in the event of a fall. Stainless steel is a popular material for grab bars due to its durability and resistance to corrosion. Unlike aluminum and plastic, stainless steel does not corrode when exposed to direct water contact and high humidity, making it an ideal choice for public bathroom and shower designs. It also comes in a range of finishes to match different bath design styles and complement existing fixtures.
Our brushed stainless steel grab bar is an industry standard that pairs well with both traditional and contemporary bathrooms. It has a non-reflective durable satin finish that consists of small, regular straight lines on the surface of the metal, and it is a great option for bathrooms with cool colors such as blues and grays.
Brushed Stainless steel is also a highly affordable option that provides excellent longevity for your commercial bathroom. This durable surface is easy to clean and maintain, and it resists the growth of mold and bacteria. It is also resistant to rust and corrosion, so it will continue to look good for years to come.

For maximum strength, the grab bar should be fastened to wall blocking or studs. If these are not available, a specialized mollie can be used to spread out the forces of the bar across a wider area of the wall.
