Safety and Accessibility in the Bathroom
Kohler offers a comprehensive selection of bathroom products that promote safety and accessibility for users of all ages and abilities. One key product category within this focus is grab bars.
Kohler Grab Bars:
- Enhanced Safety and Confidence: Kohler grab bars are designed to provide reliable support and stability in bathrooms, particularly for seniors, individuals with limited mobility, or those who require extra assistance. Secure gripping points offered by grab bars can significantly reduce the risk of slips and falls in the shower, bathtub, or while using the toilet.
- Variety for Diverse Needs: Kohler understands that bathroom needs vary. They offer grab bars in a wide range of lengths, styles, and finishes to suit different bathroom layouts and user preferences. This includes straight grab bars for common areas, angled grab bars for specific locations like toilets, and folding or retractable grab bars for space-saving solutions in smaller bathrooms.
- Design Harmony with Kohler Collections: Similar to its other products, Kohler prioritizes aesthetics in its grab bars as well. The company offers grab bars in a variety of finishes, such as chrome, brushed nickel, and oil-rubbed bronze, that coordinate seamlessly with Kohler’s various bathroom fixture collections. This allows for a cohesive and stylish bathroom design even when incorporating safety features.
- Compliance with Safety Standards: Safety remains paramount. Kohler grab bars are designed and manufactured to comply with relevant safety standards like the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA), ensuring they meet the required weight capacity and provide secure support for users.
By providing a wide range of stylish, functional, and safe grab bars, Kohler empowers individuals to create beautiful and accessible bathrooms that promote safety and independence for everyone.
