The need for a barrier-free bathroom

Many accidents happen in or directly around one's home. It is therefore essential to ensure optimal safety at home, especially in the bathroom. Therefore: make sure it is barrier-free. Not only for the elderly, small children or people with disabilities, but for every user.

A barrier-free bathroom also increases the home's resale value. G-Fittings is a specialist in high-quality,innovative hardware systems that can greatly improve safety in the home.

The choice of materials allows for easy cleaning and also offers a non-slip surface that provides additional safety when holding and standing up in the shower or on the toilet.

When purchasing new fittings, it is not only about quality and innovative value. Sound advice is at least as important to achieving a safe barrier-free bathroom. Many people tend to make some crucial mistakes when installing hardware systems. These include not properly assessing safety risks or not paying close attention to the specific needs of users. For example, the right handles are very important for flexible support. G-Fittings has several options for this in its collection: different types of handles, wall holders, a folding shower seat. All are ideal solutions for extra stability and safety in the bathroom.

In addition to support, it is also important to properly illuminate the room. Only then can safe use of the bathroom be guaranteed.

A safe space starts with proper planning. Not only in terms of time, it is also important to be well prepared in terms of room layout. Adequate space for movement, properly placing aids, avoiding obstacles and meeting legal requirements. At G-Fittings, they have experienced experts to think with and advise. An example: opt for a level shower (possibly including a support pole) instead of a shower tray. This makes getting in, for example with a walker, easier. G-Fittings' shower enclosures have a modular design that allows for multiple access situations and feature swing doors that open from the inside to the outside plus a possible elevator function.
