What are White Grab Bars?

White grab bars are our brightest and boldest grab bar finish which adds a fresh and clean feel to any residential or commercial bathroom or shower. This finish is unique as it can blend in with white tile walls in a bathroom or do the complete opposite and stand out as a pop of bright white. See our full Q&A about white grab bars below.

What material are white grab bars made of?

The most durable white grab bars are made from stainless steel with a powder coated white finish. All white grab bars on GrabBars.com are made this way. The stainless steel core provides the grab bar with strength, durability and rust-resistance, making it suitable for the wet & humid environment of a bathroom. The powder coating process is the most common method for applying a color finish to a grab bar. This involves spraying the stainless steel with a fine powder that is electrostatically charged. The powder adheres to the metal surface and is cured in an oven to create a durable finish. A high-gloss coat is then applied on top creating the grab bar’s bright and shiny pop of white.

Are white grab bars safe?

Yes, white grab bars are just as safe as other types of grab bars as long as they are properly installed and meet all necessary safety standards. Since these grab bars are made from stainless steel with a high-quality white powder coated finish, users will benefit from all the safety properties of stainless steel grab bars, including sturdiness, durability, corrosion-resistant and long-lasting.

Are white grab bars ADA compliant?

Yes, white grab bars can be ADA compliant as long as they meet all ADA requirements, such as weight capacity and installation specifications. All white grab bars on GrabBars.com are ADA compliant.

Are white grab bars durable?

Yes, white grab bars are considered to be durable and long-lasting!
