Floor standing handrail: a support for the disabled
The floor standing handrail is made of high-quality materials that ensure a secure and ergonomic grip. It offers a great support for those who cannot stand on their own. This handrail must be fixed to the wall at the upper end and to the floor at the lower end. It provides the disabled or the elderly with more security when getting up or sitting down on the bathroom fixtures or when maintaining their balance inside the shower cubicle or in front of the washbasin area. This is especially important in case the floor is wet. An indispensable device that improves people's well-being and allows them to carry out their daily bathroom routine independently, without help. Of course, even in the case of disabled people who need help, the handrail serves to make the caregiver’s task less burdensome.
Aids for the elderly and disabled
Regulations concerning the disabled require some sort of support in public toilets thus the floor standing handrail is able to fulfil these requirements. In any case, it can also be used in private bathrooms to add more security for the elderly, mobility impaired or obese. The handrail allows customers to wash themselves and move around the bathroom without the risk of falling or losing their balance if installed near the bathroom fixtures or near the shower area.
