Bathroom Safety - Preventing Falls in the # 1 Danger Area

Anyone who has slipped in a bathtub knows how dangerous the bathroom can be! In fact, the bathroom is the number one source of accidents in the home. From slippery bathtubs or shower stalls, to wet ceramic tile, there are serious safety concerns in the bathroom.

According to Health Canada, every year one in three Canadian Seniors will fall at least once. (Link Health Canada to http://www.hc-sc.gc.ca/hl-vs/iyh-vsv/life-vie/fp-pc-eng.php) With nearly half of all injuries among seniors happening at home, the bathroom is a particularly dangerous area. You can prevent falls in your bathroom by making some simple, inexpensive changes.

For the Bathtub or Shower:

Our bathtub kit creates a durable, textured finish that creates a safer surface that reduces the likelihood of accidental slips. This product makes your bathtub slip-resistant when wet or dry and has no sharp edges. It eliminates the need for bathmats and works on fibreglass, tile or porcelain.

The convenient aerosol spray makes it easy to apply too hard to reach areas. After application, the product dries in 20 minutes or less. Once the product is applied, it is easy to clean and long lasting!

Marble or Ceramic Flooring

Marble and Ceramic flooring in bathrooms is notorious for being slippery when wet! Depending on your flooring, we apply a solution that changes the tread pattern of the surface without affecting the look of the surface! This treatment is not a topical application; it will not crack, peel, chip or discolour with age. The product simply enters the pores of the surface and microscopically changes the fingerprint by widening and deepening the pores, making the floor slip resistant!
