Grab Rails Collection – Burdens Bathrooms

Ensure safety, enhance accessibility, and maintain style with our comprehensive range of grab rails. Designed for showers, toilets, bathtubs, and wet-room environments, our rails offer support and confidence for users of all ages — especially those with reduced mobility, balance issues, or who wish to “age in place.”

Why Choose Grab Rails?

Slip and fall incidents are alarmingly common in bathrooms, where wet floors and limited grip areas pose risks. Strategically placed grab rails offer essential support for getting up, sliding in and out of showers or baths, and maintaining stability while standing. They act as a safety lifeline, offering independence and reassurance in every tile and corner.

Functional Styles for Every Space

• Horizontal Rails: Ideal for pushing up from seated positions near toilets or baths.

• Vertical Rails: Provide steady assistance when standing or navigating slippery surfaces.

• Angled Rails: Set typically at 45°, these support ergonomic wrist posture during movement.

• Support Arms & L‑Shaped/U‑Shaped Rails: Protrude from the wall for wider accessibility zones, excellent around toilets or transfer areas.

Safety First: Proper Installation Matters

Even the strongest rail is ineffective if poorly installed. Our grab rails must be securely fastened to wall studs or structural blocks, and never rely on tile or drywall alone — ensuring a minimum weight capacity of around 100–150 kg (220–330 lbs) or more .

Placement is equally critical. The optimal installation height for horizontal rails is usually between 840 mm and 915 mm (33–36 inches) from finished floor level, though user-specific adjustments may be necessary. Rails should be placed beside toilets, within showers near control zones, and along bathtub walls—each selected according to function and user need.
