Yes! Brushed grab bars are an excellent choice for both residential and commercial bathrooms. For decades, brushed has been the most popular and the most widely accepted industry standard grab bar finish for both residential and commercial bathrooms. There is no doubt that brushed is the most trusted grab bar finish on the market due to its numerous advantages, including durability, ease of maintenance, corrosion resistance and long-lasting performance.
Brushed grab bars are incredibly versatile and can be found in a wide variety of settings. Brushed is the most common grab bar finish found in commercial/public bathrooms, including those in schools, hospitals, universities, senior living facilities, gyms, fitness centers, etc. Brushed is also commonly found in residential bathrooms given it’s so highly trusted industry-wide. You can often find brushed grab bars next to the toilet, in the shower, in the bathtub and near the sink in a residential bathroom.
The most notable advantage of brushed grab bars is their wide recognition across the industry. They are trusted by virtually everyone! Their unmatched durability, superior corrosion resistance and enhanced safety with slip resistance make them an extremely popular choice for bathroom safety grab bars.
Brushed grab bars have far more advantages than drawbacks. The major con associated with this grab bar finish is its aesthetic, which does not always easily align with all bathroom styles. The brushed finish does not pair well with warmer colors, such as beiges, browns or yellows. It also does not create the most cohesive look in a bathroom if the other fixtures (towel racks, faucets, shower heads, etc.) have a different finish, such as bronze or brass. That said, due to its prominence as the industry standard grab bar finish, most of the time its aesthetic is excused as a utilitarian safety measure.

Grab bar prices will vary depending on the style of grab bar, such as a standard grab bar, a designer grab bar or a combination grab bar, as well as the size of the grab bar.
The weight capacity of a brushed grab bar, like any grab bar, doesn’t depend on its color but on its design, construction, and installation.

All grab bars on GrabBars.com can support up to 500 pounds of weight capacity.
