Where Grab Bars Are Commonly Requested
Common locations include tub/shower entries, shower walls and toilet areas. Send wide bathroom photos and mark preferred positions if already decided.
Wall and Mounting Surface Matters
Tile over backing, drywall, plaster, masonry and fiberglass surrounds can present different mounting conditions. Hidden support must not be assumed.
Customer-Provided vs Selected Grab Bars
Provide bar length, diameter, mounting plates and manufacturer hardware. NY-GoodHome does not claim to prescribe the medically appropriate bar.
Placement and Project Information to Share
Include user goal, approximate desired height/location, wall type and any known backing/support. If exact accessibility dimensions are required for a regulated project, qualified design/code review is needed.

Before Installation
Send full-area and close-up surface photos, bar product information and whether tile/surrounds are existing. Use Contact for scope review; no ADA/code/load/medical guarantee is implied.
Before Grab-Bar Installation Is Scheduled
Provide bar length, mounting flange/hardware, preferred location and full wall photos. If the customer knows there is blocking/stud support behind the wall, include that information, but do not assume it from tile layout. State whether the surface is tile, fiberglass, drywall, plaster or masonry. If a regulated accessibility dimension or medical placement recommendation is required, obtain that direction from the appropriate professional before installation.
