Wall Blocking Around Toilet

Most people think about grab bars when thinking universal design, but if you don’t need grab bars now, that’s okay. However, if there is a need for them in the future, it’s much easier to install into a wall that has already been prepared for them with blocking in the walls between studs. Grab bars are used as leverage to get on/off the toilet, and their aesthetics have significantly improved in the past few years.
