The use of toilets in daily life is very high. Washing in the morning, bathing in the evening, and washing clothes on weekdays are all done in it. But for older people, there are hidden safety hazards of one kind or another. In order to avoid unnecessary injuries to the elderly, it is necessary to install barrier-free handrails in the bathroom.
Barrier-free handrails, also called safety grab bars or safety handrails, are mainly used in places such as both sides of aisles and corridors, toilets or public toilets, and are public facilities that help the elderly and the disabled to walk and get on and off. The places of use are generally hospitals, nursing homes, high-end office buildings, toilets for the elderly at home, and other places. With the society's concern for the elderly with disabilities, it can also be seen in more and more public places. In addition, many elderly families renovate their bathrooms and most of them choose to install barrier-free handrails.
1. Install next to the toilet. The single U-shaped floor-standing armrest installed next to the toilet is strong and durable. More importantly, the owners no longer have to worry about standing up or sitting down while using the toilet.
2. In the shower room, install straight handrails and shower stools in the shower room, which will increase convenience for the elderly in the future shower time. In the future, you can sit down and take a bath comfortably, and you won't have backaches due to standing for a long time.
3. After confirming the fixed point of the barrier-free handrail, measure and mark the important position. For the height requirements of barrier-free handrails, local building codes should be checked. Measure the height between the bottom and top of the wall. Mark with a piece of chalk.
4. The next step is to drill holes and install barrier-free handrails. Make each hole carefully, apply nail glue to the hole, and put it in the expansion tube. After the nail glue is bonded to the expansion tube, screw in the screw to fix it, and then use silica gel to close the edge.
5. Test whether the armrest is installed firmly. The armrest should be installed sturdy and easy to grasp in shape, so check whether it will shake or be unstable. To test the load-bearing capacity of barrier-free handrails, here is to find someone with greater strength to try it, so that it will be safer for subsequent use.
6. After installing the handrails, anti-slip measures on the ground should also be done. Anti-slip materials are purchased and cut, and anti-slip mats are installed in the bathroom. The addition of non-slip mats also adds a layer of protection to the safety of the old couple.
