Key considerations for purchasing different types of grab rails:

Then you will also need to consider the length of the grab rail which varies from 200 mm to 900 mm. Another consideration is the diameter of the grab rail. It is important that a user can get a secure grip on the grab rail to reduce the risk of a slip and fall. The standard diameter of grab rails is 32mm with other diameters also available. 

• The needs of the user and the location of installation: What kind of support will the user need and the weight of the user are the most important considerations. Grab rails have different levels of weight-bearing capacity therefore it is important to know the user’s weight prior to purchasing the grab rail.  Is the grab rail going to be used in the toilet area or will it be used in the bathing or showering area? It is important that you know the answers to the above questions before you narrow down on a specific grab rail. 

• The construction material of the wall: The wall where the grab rail needs to be installed should be either made of concrete or gyprock with the presence of wooden studs in order to ensure that it is securely installed. 

• Installation: If the grab rail is made of metal and is being used in a wet area then it is important that a qualified tradesperson undertakes the installation as it is essential for earthing to be undertaken during the installation.
