Grab Bars ech!!!

When the term grab bars comes up it creates an image of sterile hospitals, senior centers and an array of super senior images that someone much older than ourselves needs.  Imagine that sterile chrome grab bar that lines the bath room showers, hall ways and various other locations that you would not want your guest to see.

Yes aren't they real attractive?  Don't they make the statement?  No? why not? think of the great uses they have for everyone, something to grab onto in the shower while you are washing your feet.  How about a steady hand while slipping on your shoes.  How about an aid while you are climbing stairs or steps.  No not sexy but sure are a handy way to make our lives a little easier with tasks that used to be simple.  Nothing more embarasing that falling down when we least expect it and nothing there to help prevent that fall.

Now this is anyone's style!!
The simple fact is that grab bars of todays serve a duel function, safety and they are now making a fashion and design  statement at the same time.  Take a look at the shower shown in the picture here on the right.  This is the new age of safety hardware.  Not only is it functional but what a statement this make!!!.  We have access to all sorts of safety features that will make a statement in your bathroom remodel or perhaps a new home construction project that meets all of the access needs that you may need down the road.

This is only one small feature that makes a Universal Designed Home more livable, more functional and more unique.   Form does follow function but not by much anymore.

Think about it now before you absolutely need these  features that we are designing and building for our customers today and using in all the homes we are building.

The time is now while we all have choices and not a need situation.   If we have got you thinking about some of these needs don't delay call us now for a consultation appointment to access your individual needs.
