Grab Bar Installation in Orlando, FL
Two dark bronze-finish grab bars around a corner jetted tub for an Orlando homeowner, one on each tiled wall.
What the customer needed
In mid-August 2025, deep in Orlando's summer rainy season, when the afternoon thunderstorms show up almost like clockwork, an Orlando homeowner asked us to make their corner jetted tub safer. A deep soaking tub is relaxing to sit in, but lowering yourself down into it and pushing back up onto your feet, on a slick surface, is where a lot of people lose their balance.
The finished install
1. Finished. Both bars, one on each wall of the corner tub. 
2. Finished. Closer look at the bar under the window. 
3. Finished. The bar on the side wall of the tub.
What we did
We installed two horizontal grab bars in a dark bronze finish, one on each wall of the corner tub, mounted on the large stone-look tile just below the decorative mosaic band. With a bar on both sides, there is something solid within reach whichever way the bather faces, both for easing down into the tub and for standing back up. The darker finish ties in with the warm grays in the tile and mosaic instead of standing out like a hospital fixture. Both bars went in to our install standard below.
Our install standard
- Every bar secured into studs or blocking, or with fasteners rated for grab bar loads, so the installation holds 250 lb
- ADA guideline height (33 to 36 inches to the top of the bar) unless the customer’s needs differ
- Every hole sealed and every bar pull-tested before we leave
- Photos of the completed work, as proof for the customer and the warranty
