Slip-Resistant Showers and Tubs Great for Retirement Communities and Nursing Homes

By

Retirement communities and nursing homes have a higher chance of a resident slipping and falling while taking a shower or bath, for obvious reasons. Installing a slip-resistant shower surface can help reduce these falls, which is one reason Miracle Method offers this bathing safety advancement for these communities in particular but also all customers. We believe it is vital that people of all ages or health can enjoy the comfort of using their bathing without the risk of injuring themselves.

Here are the benefits of having your bathtub or shower pan refinished with the slip-resistant surface offered by Miracle Method:

  • It is chemically bonded to the shower or bathtub and this reduces the chances of them cracking/peeling
  • It is economical and requires less time to install (approximately 1 day) due to their simplistic nature
  • It won’t collect mold and mildew like bathmats, it is easy to clean and much more sanitary
  • It won’t collect dirt, mildew, etch completely into the tub, or crack and become unsightly like appliqués

Aged retiring communities and home care nursing facilities can benefit from Miracle Method’s installation of slip resistant surfaces because they also include the installation of handheld shower nozzles, grab bars, and curved shower rods so as to increase the safety of the users. To learn more about Miracle Method’s bathing options, visit your nearest Miracle Method showroom or our website.

Never Worry About Ugly Grout Again

By

Let’s be honest, grout eventually ages and begins to look bad, but most homeowners think there is only one solution for old, ugly grout, and that is to remove the tile and start all over. However, there are ways to clean your bathroom grout by hiring a qualified contractor for the job. It may not be a do-it-yourself job, but cleaning grout and making old grout look new doesn’t have to be a big repair or budget-breaking job. You can even remove the need to scrub the grout in the future.

How does this particular grout cleaning work? And how do I get the cherry on top of never scrubbing the grout in my bathtub or shower area again, you ask? Sealing it with Miracle Method’s proven process will eliminate the time required to maintain the grout in the future.  In fact, once you have your grout refinished and sealed, all you really need to do is wipe down the area where the grout was once exposed just like you do the rest of your tile.

Never Worry About Grout Again

When you have your tile area refinished, Miracle Method will float the grout with a special unsanded grout to fill in any voids or cracks. After the grout is dry, we wipe down the entire area and apply our MM-4 bonding agent to ensure adhesion with the new coating. Permanently sealing in the grout when refinishing the tile also takes a shorter time and costs considerably less than having to rip it out and replace it altogether.  In fact, most jobs are completed in just 2 days.
