When renovating an old house to make it suitable for aging in place or for residents with limited mobility, one of the biggest challenges is creating solid wall sections that can safely support the heavy weight of grab bars, wheelchair handrails, and accessibility equipment. Traditional old plaster and drywall walls are not strong enough to support these heavy fixtures, and many homeowners end up with loose, unsafe grab bars that pull out of the wall under weight. By installing specially reinforced EPS Cement Sandwich Panel sections in bathroom, hallway, and bedroom locations where grab bars and accessibility fixtures need to be mounted, you get a solid, rigid wall surface that can support hundreds of pounds of weight without any risk of the fixtures pulling loose. The panels can be installed directly over your existing old wall surface, so you do not need to tear out and replace large sections of your original old wall. This accessibility modification can be completed very quickly, and it creates a completely safe, reliable support system for all your accessibility equipment, that gives elderly or mobility limited residents full peace of mind that their home is completely safe to move around in. This is one of the most important practical old house renovations you can do to future proof your home for long term accessible living.
