With
the heir to the British thrown due any day now, bathroom
remodeling company Luxury Bath is releasing bath safety tips for the royal
couple’s child. According to a report by NBCNews, studies have found that children age four and
younger account for up to half of all bathtub and shower related injuries. With
proper bath safety products and precautions, these accidents can be prevented.
Child Bath Safety Tip 1: Safety and Grab Bars
Bathrooms
always benefit from grab bars. No longer associated with just the older
generation, grab bars can balance and support users young and old in the
bathroom. As children grow older, grab bars not only aid in getting in and out
of the bath and shower, but can also help prevent slips or falls.
Child Bath Safety Tip 2: Slip Resistant
Surfaces
Even
with the future king and queen looking after you, constant adult supervision in
the bathroom isn’t always enough. Slips and falls can happen quickly. In order
to prevent accident, install bath safety products with slip resistant bottoms
or mats. Bath remodeling products like Luxury Bath’s tubs and showers have
built in slip resistant bottoms for greater stability.
Child Bath Safety Tip 3: Anti-Scalding
Devices
Accidental
burning from scalding water causes injuries in the bathroom each year. “Young
children less than five years old are at greater risk of burns due to their thinner
skin,” said Davis Glassberg, President of Luxury Bath. To help protect young
children, Luxury Bath remodeling products are installed with bath safety
anti-scalding devices, keeping the water temperature lower to prevent harmful
burns. The bathroom remodeling company also advises checking the temperature of
actual water, before placing the child into the bath or shower.
Child Bath Safety Tip 4: Overflow Drains
While
young children should never be left unattended in the bathroom, installing an
overflow drain can help prevent dangerously high water levels in the bathtub.
Luxury Bath’s overflow drains are positioned four inches from the top of the
bathtub, to keep the water level down. Overflow drains also prevent an
overflowing bathtub, keeping hazardous water off slippery floors.
Child Bath Safety Tip 5: Anti-Bacterial
Surfaces
More
bacteria are found in bath enclosure than anywhere else, according to
Glassberg. For better bath safety, Luxury Bath tubs and showers are
available with built-in anti-microbial surfaces for easier cleaning. Luxury
Bath’s bathtubs and showers are infused with an anti-microbial product called
Microban® which works to help inhibit the growth of harmful mold, bacterial and
mildew on bathroom surfaces. This technology not only helps protect children
from mold, but allows users to easily clean their bath or shower with gentle
cleaners.
You
don’t have to be the heir to the British monarchy to take advantage of these
bath safety options. For more information on bathroom remodeling company Luxury
