Thank you for purchasing the
nie wieder bohren
(German for “no drilling required”) heavy duty grab bars.
nie wieder bohren
-
Germany is an innovation leader in fastening technology. These bars have been engineered to exceed ASTM (American Society for
Testing and Materials) requirements and offer the ability to mount using the internationally patented
nie wieder bohren
- no
drilling required -technology on premium surfaces such as tile, stone, glass and metal. The
nie wieder bohren
– no drilling
required -adapter system allows for ease of installation, durability, performance and no holes in the walls! Another advantage of
this innovative approach on fastening technology is that the system can be removed, if needed, with no damage to the surface.
Moreover, with an additional set of adapters, the bar can be re-installed in minutes anywhere you like as long as the surface is
suitable for the
nie wieder bohren
– no drilling required -system.

Wall mounted grab bars come in several lengths. Deciding which length to install depends on how the grab bar will be used. If you
are planning to put a main grab bar on the side wall of a bathroom tub enclosure, the National Kitchen and Bath Association
recommends using a grab bar of at least 24 inches. If you also want to add a second grab bar for further support on the shower
head wall, it should be at least 12 inches long. Before deciding whether to install a grab bar horizontally, diagonally or vertically
the following needs to be taken into consideration: Horizontal grab bars offer better leverage to a person getting up from the
bathtub or up and down from a toilet, whereas a grab bar placed at a 45 degree angle to the toilet or bathtub rim is easier for
people of differing heights to reach. Horizontal grab bars should be located 33 to 36 inches above the finished floor around toilets,
33 to 36 inches above the floor of the bathtub and close enough to the shower head wall in order to support a person adjusting
water temperature. Vertical mount is ideally wall mounted on the entrance to the tub and directly under the shower head to assist
with safe entry and to prevent from falling while showering. The
nie wieder bohren
grab bars are also ideal to mount directly to the
tub edge to aid children in safe entry and exit from the bathtub.
