Local Knowledge
North Island installation
Comox Valley's newer construction means standard grab bar installation. Most homes have 2x4 framing at 16" spacing with drywall—textbook conditions for grab bars. The exception is Campbell River's older downtown core, which may have non-standard construction similar to Victoria's character homes. Cumberland's heritage properties also occasionally need special attention.
