How to Make Your Bathroom Safer Without Compromising Style
Bathrooms are essential for daily life, but wet, slippery surfaces make them one of the most common places for home injuries. The CDC reports over 234,000 nonfatal bathroom injuries annually, with falls accounting for more than 80%, especially among adults aged 65 and older.
Why Bathroom Safety Matters
Falls are one of the most common causes of home injuries, and bathrooms can be especially risky due to wet surfaces and tight spaces. Older adults are particularly vulnerable, but accidents can happen to anyone. A well-designed bathroom can significantly reduce the risk of slips, falls, and other injuries while improving everyday comfort.
Key Strategies for a Safer Bathroom and how ProEdge Remodeling Improves Bathroom Safety
At ProEdge Remodeling, we know that safety doesn’t have to come at the expense of style. Our mission is to create wet areas in bathrooms that are both beautiful and secure, so homeowners can enjoy comfort and peace of mind.
Here’s how we help make bathrooms safer:
Walk‑In Shower
Our ProEdge Bath Systems include walk-in shower option to reduce the risk of tripping when entering or exiting the shower.
Non‑Slip Shower Bases
Special technology is used to craft textured, high‑traction surfaces that help prevent slips, even on wet shower floors.
Built‑In Seating & Grab Bars
Integrated seating and strategically placed grab bars give extra support and stability during bathing.
Handheld Shower Options
Handheld shower wands allow users to bathe comfortably while seated, reducing the need to stand on slippery surfaces.
Custom Design & Accessibility
Our design consultants tailor each bathroom to the homeowner’s needs — whether that means extra space for mobility aids or carefully planned placement of shelves and fixtures.
Protect Against Common Hazards
Bathrooms are not just about preventing slips. Proper temperature control, electrical safety, visibility, and emergency preparedness are essential for a truly safe bathroom.
Temperature control: Anti-scald faucets and adjustable water heater settings prevent burns.
Electrical safety: Properly installed outlets, GFCI protection, and safe appliance use reduce shock risk.
Visibility: Bright, well-placed lighting improves navigation, including night-time safety.
Emergency readiness: Thoughtful design can accommodate alert systems for seniors or anyone with mobility challenges.
