While remodeling the bathroom with Luxury Baths grab bars wont drive you to the grocery store, like the self-driving car, grab bars are able to make everyday activities more enjoyable, efficient and safer.

Avoid Accidents. The self-driving car was endorsed by DOT as a future tool in avoiding accidents on the road. Grab bars also provide an accident free experience, with their bathroom safety features.

Many bathroom users rely on weakly anchored towel bars or shower doors instead of installing grab bars. Luxury Baths grab bars are anchored in wood studs, and can withstand up to 560 pounds of pressure, making the grab bars compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA compliant).

Helps Elderly and Disabled. With the cars ability to drive on its own, people with disabilities and the elderly are given access to better mobility. Luxury Baths ADA compliant grab bars can also help elderly and disabled users by improving their mobility in the bathroom. The bathroom remodeling companys grab bars provide independence for users in the bathroom, making bathing easier and enjoyable.

According to the National Safety Council (NSC), falls are the second-leading cause of unintentional death in homes and communities.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) May 31, 2013

Portland and Seattle remodeling contractor Hammer & Hand announced today the completion of a bathroom and kitchen remodeling project in a 1905 Craftsman located in Portland, Oregons North Tabor neighborhood. Collaborating with residential designer Kevin Fischer at Alice Design and interior designer Charlotte Cooney of Domestic Arts, the kitchen and bathroom remodel touched all areas of the four-bedroom house, resulting in a home fit for the new nuclear family.

When homeowners Heather & Michael bought their home the kitchen was a mess, with few counters and one small window. For the remodeling project, Kevin created a design that removed a bathroom and butlers pantry that blocked the view of the backyard from the kitchen. A sink and soapstone counters now sit under the new, large, corner windows that look out on the garden, carriage house and fire pit. Charlotte recycled the pink 1950s bathroom sink in the new powder bath. The team restored the original fir floors.

We wanted the kitchen to feel modern but still settle comfortably in an old house, said Charlotte. And we wanted surfaces that will age well in an active family home that includes dogs and kids. These surfaces will age gracefully, unlike some other 'sleeker' choices we could have made in a modern kitchen."

An enlarged opening also connects the expanded kitchen to the downstairs fourth bedroom. The couple elected to sacrifice bedroom number four and make it into a kid-friendly den. The east wall now has a wall of shelves for the family's books, and Charlotte and Heather reupholstered her vintage reading chair in thick fabric that juxtaposes old and new.

From start to finish, this was a collaborative effort, said Hammer & Hand lead carpenter Bobby Pinkham. We were able to realize Heather and Michaels vision of a clean, simple and utilitarian space like their very own Norwegian hotel.
