Home/Bathroom/Avoid a Slip & Fall in the Shower

Slip and Fall Injuries affect millions of people every year and it’s not just seniors who are affected, children account for a surprisingly large percentage of bathroom injuries due to slipping.

The best way to avoid dangerous falls in the shower and improve shower safety is to install safety grab bars in your shower and bathtub. Additionally, handicap safety grab bars are essential to ensure a safe environment for elderly people as well as those with illness, disabilities, or injuries. New shower styles allow safety grab bars and shower seats which are aesthetically pleasing as well as a great addition to provide comfort and safety to your family, friends, and guests. Ceramic Tile Design installs custom showers and tile designs that will meet all of your safety requirements and design qualification requirements for your bathroom remodel.
