| Can anybody recommend a good type to buy? I'm hearing horror stories about rust in grab bars for the shower. I'm getting a beautiful glass tile wall, and a rusty grab bar would ruin it. Please help if you can. It's deeply appreciated. :) |

| Lots of them are stainless now. Make sure you use stainless screws, and, more importantly, use silicone underneath and even on the screws to ensure the wall penetrations remain waterproof. |

| Make certain it is a "finished" stainless steel and not "mill finish" as that will rust which is why I said a #4 satin stainless. |

| I can't really answer your question - I'm also shopping for grab bars but your post helps me understand perhaps why there are such huge differences in price between grab bars of the same size. I have purchased 4 Kohler brand bars at faucetdirect.com mainly because there was a large assortment of sizes (and I need several variations). Kohler was more expensive but I wanted them all to match. Perhaps the price will also help avoid the rust. --crossing fingers. |
