North Olmsted, Ohio -- We've all envisioned our dream bath...stylish faucets and showerheads...a soaking tub...vertical spa. But how often do these dreams include bath safety items? When building or remodeling the bathroom, today's discerning homeowners often focus on style and functionality...but safety often is an overlooked element.

As we celebrate National Bath Safety Month, luckily, there are products available to accomplish both the style and safety that we desire. Moen® Home Care® offers a variety of bath safety products designed with attractive styling and quality that you've come to expect from the Moen® brand.

"Our goal is to make every bath a safe bath. And, for savvy homeowners looking to incorporate safety at any age, it's essential we provide products to meet their safety and style requirements," said Laurie Birko, Moen Home Care brand manager. "Our newest products, such as our Fold-Down Shower Seat and Decorative Grab Bars with Accessories look like decorative pieces rather than safety products, so homeowners no longer have to choose between safety or style...they can have both."

SecureMount™ Grab Bars

According to the National Association of Home Builders' Remodelers, the most frequent aging-in-place modification is adding grab bars (78 percent). For design-conscious homeowners, SecureMount™ Grab Bars provide a wealth of safety and style options. Available in a variety of lengths, ranging from 18 to 48 inches, the grab bars are featured in a variety of styles and in the most popular finishes to completely coordinate with the rest of the bath.

Beyond the styling and safety elements, each grab bar can be installed with Moen Home Care's SecureMount Anchors, a D-shaped anchor that positions behind the wall to make it possible to quickly, easily and securely install a grab bar anywhere on the wall, with one stud or no studs -- in less than 10 minutes.

Designer Grab Bars with Accessories

Moen Home Care's new Designer Grab Bars with Accessories combine the safety benefits of a grab bar with one of three common bath essentials -- a towel bar, a paper holder and a shelf depending on the product selected -- making each item functional and fashionable. Each of the Grab Bars offers a 250-pound weight capacity and is available in a Brushed Nickel finish. For easy installation, each Grab Bar with Accessory comes with the recommended SecureMount Anchors for a confident and quick installation.

Fold-Down Shower Seat

The unique wall-mount design of the Fold-Down Shower Seat folds down for a comfortable and secure shower seat to help avoid slips and falls -- yet folds up to a thin, compact profile when not in use. Constructed with a rugged aluminum frame and water-resistant teak wood, the seat is durable, holds users up to 400 pounds, yet features an aesthetically pleasing design.
