FAQs

While no flooring option, except Velcro, will be completely non-slip, some options are better than others. If you are looking for a good non-slip flooring option, you need a product that is not completely 100% polished. There should be some grip on the floor.

However, grip does not mean the floor needs to feel like sandpaper. There are many different products available. For example, many porcelain tiles will have a textured finish with some grip. Vinyl products are another great option for people looking for a non-slip floor.

Grab bars are standardized by diameter. They can start as small as 12 inches and increase in diameter by certain increments. Therefore, you will likely find grab bars with diameters of 12 in., 18 in., 24 in., 30 in., and so on. Grab bars that are put in wet places should also be textured to minimize the risk of slipping.

We will work with you to determine the correct size and placement of the grab bars. These factors will depend on your limitations, needs, and where in the bathroom they are placed. Thus, a grab bar put in the shower to help a person in a wheelchair will be placed completely differently than one near the toilet.

As you age, you may not be able to lean down and rummage in linen cabinets or on shelves. That is why the team at SMC Construction, Inc. recommends pull out shelves and drawers placed higher up as storage solutions for seniors. As with every aspect of our age-in-place bathrooms, we will customize your storage solutions to suit your exact needs.
