Designer Grab Rails at Milla Poignées
Welcome to our section dedicated to designer grab rails, a range carefully selected by Milla Poignées to combine functionality, safety and aesthetics. Our grab rails are not just functional accessories: they are designed to enhance the style of your interior while providing optimal safety.
At Milla Poignées, we understand the importance of having safe and reliable installations in your home, especially in spaces such as bathrooms or staircases where the risk of falling is higher. That is why we offer a variety of grab rails that compromise neither style nor safety.
Installing a grab rail in the bathroom is essential for ensuring safety, particularly in the shower or near the washbasin. Whether for an elderly person, a person with reduced mobility or simply for greater comfort, choosing the right support rail guarantees a safer bathroom environment. Here is how to choose the grab rail that suits your needs.
The different types of support rail
The first criterion to consider is the type of support rail. Here are the main rails with their specific uses:
. Straight support rail: This is the most versatile, ideal for use near the shower tray or the tap.
. Angled support rail: Offering a more natural grip, it is perfect for assisting movements near the basin or bidet.
. Angled rail: Placed in the corners of the shower or bath, it provides a better grip for getting up or sitting down without the risk of slipping.
. Raised rail: Essential for the toilet, this wall rail provides solid support for getting up safely, particularly near a mixer tap.
. Telescopic rail: Adjustable, it adapts to different heights and can be installed in confined spaces, such as inside a shower cubicle.
Choosing the right materials for durability
The choice of materials is crucial to guarantee the durability of your bathroom rail, especially in a room subject to humidity:
. Stainless steel: Robust and corrosion-resistant, perfect for use in the shower or near a thermostatic mixer tap.
. Chrome-plated brass: Adds a touch of elegance while resisting limescale and humidity.
. Reinforced plastic: Less expensive, often with non-slip coatings, ideal for installation near the shower hose.
Where to install grab rails according to your needs?
The location of the rail is just as important as the type chosen. Here are some recommendations to help you position the rails correctly:
. In the shower: Opt for a shower rail that is resistant to humidity, positioned so that it is easily accessible under the overhead shower or near the shower head.
. Near the bath: A longer rail makes it easier to get in and out of the bath, especially if you have a combined bath-shower system with a shower mixer tap.
. Around the toilet: An ergonomic rail, inclined or straight, to provide solid support, particularly near the washbasin or the mixer tap.
. Near the washbasin: A small support rail can help people who have difficulty getting up, just as an adjustable shower column helps to adjust the height of the shower head.
Fixing and installation of the rail for maximum safety
Once you have chosen the type and location of the rail, it is essential to think carefully about the installation:
. Screw-fixed rails: They guarantee maximum stability and safety, especially when correctly fixed into a solid wall, such as a reinforced partition or a tiled shower wall.
. Suction cup rails: Easier to install and mobile, they are ideal for temporary use but offer less long-term safety than fixed rails.
. Installation tip: To ensure optimal safety, make sure the rails are installed at an appropriate height, generally between 85 and 100 cm from the floor. Also check the watertightness of the joints around areas where water is used, such as near a mixer tap or a shower hose.
Aesthetics: how to integrate a safety rail into your interior decoration?
Today, many brands offer designer models that integrate perfectly into modern bathrooms, to be installed in a shower cubicle or near a sink.
. Finishes
Decorative hardware offers shower rails in several finishes to suit the aesthetics of your bathroom:
* The chrome finish is the most common. It gives a modern and elegant appearance while being resistant to corrosion and limescale, which makes it easy to maintain.
* The white finish is discreet and ideal for a minimalist look or to blend into a light-coloured décor.
* Finally, the matt black finish adds a contemporary and bold touch, perfect for a bathroom with an industrial or designer style.
These various finishes allow you to combine safety and aesthetics in your bathroom.
. Minimalist designs
Some rails offer a minimalist design. These safety rails are ideal for not compromising the style and decoration of your bathroom while offering maximum functionality. Pair them with modern taps for a harmonious look.
Safety and comfort above all
Whether it is to improve the safety of a loved one or to ensure your own comfort, it is essential to select quality handles that are suited to your specific needs.
In addition to support rails, several other accessories will enhance safety in the bathroom. For example, a fold-down shower seat allows people with reduced mobility to wash in complete stability. A non-slip mat or a non-slip shower tray helps prevent slipping in the shower or bath. Additional wall handles, particularly near the toilet, provide extra support. Finally, the installation of thermostatic taps reduces the risk of burns by automatically regulating the water temperature.
Looking for elegant support rails and secure ones for your bathroom? Discover the complete Milla Poignées range, combining design, safety and durability. Remember to coordinate your coat hooks and door handles by choosing the same finish as the grab rail: chrome, white or black, the result will be all the more successful!
