Accent Ring
Price range: $189.05 through $236.55
Looking for a circular shower bar that does more than just look good? The VIM Accent Ring is a thoughtfully designed round shower accent bar that wraps around your shower controls, giving you a sturdy handhold exactly where you need it most: right where you’re already reaching.
Unlike traditional straight grab bars that can feel clinical or out of place, this curved shower bar blends seamlessly with your shower’s design while providing serious support when you need it.
What Makes the Accent Ring Different?
Most shower safety bars are an afterthought, bolted to the wall as a necessity, not a design choice. The VIM Accent Ring flips that script.
Here’s what sets it apart:
- Strategic placement around controls: Your hands naturally reach toward the shower valve. This circular shower handle puts support right there, eliminating awkward reaches across wet tile.
- 500 lb. weight capacity: This isn’t decorative hardware pretending to be functional. It’s a true circular shower safety handle engineered to support real weight when you need to steady yourself.
- Premium finish options: Choose from Polished Chrome, Brushed Stainless, or Oil Rubbed Bronze to match your existing fixtures perfectly.
Compact, unobtrusive design: At just 14″ × 13″, it adds safety without dominating your shower space.
Why Choose a Round Shower Bar Over Traditional Grab Bars?
Standard grab bars serve a purpose, but they come with limitations. They’re typically mounted away from high-traffic areas, require you to let go of what you’re holding to reach them, and often clash with modern bathroom aesthetics.
A round shower bar like the Accent Ring solves these problems:
Traditional Grab Bars | VIM Accent Ring |
Mounted away from controls | Encircles your shower valve |
Requires intentional reach | Natural hand placement |
Industrial appearance | Decorative, coordinated design |
Single grip point | 360° of gripping surface |
The circular design means there’s always a gripping surface within reach, no matter which direction you’re facing or where your hands happen to be. Also, you can still add other shower bars; this one just makes a smaller footprint while providing big support.
What Makes VIM's Kit Different from Generic Options?
Most shower membrane kits on the market force you to piece together components from different manufacturers and hope they work together. That’s a recipe for failure.
VIM’s liquid rubber membrane kit is different because:
- Trusted brand options: Choose between Laticrete or Mapei, two industry-leading waterproofing brands known for reliability and durability
- Complete coverage: Fabric and mesh rolls sized for real-world shower installations, not skimpy samples
- Designed for VIM systems: Engineered to integrate seamlessly with our Level Entry Shower System, eliminating compatibility issues
- Tools included: No surprise trips to the hardware store mid-project
When your waterproofing kit comes from the same company that created the original barrier-free shower system, you get materials tested and proven to work together flawlessly.
Built for Real Life
Whether you’re designing an aging-in-place bathroom, recovering from surgery, or simply want added peace of mind on slippery surfaces, the Accent Ring delivers. It pairs perfectly with VIM’s Level Entry Shower System for a complete barrier-free bathroom solution.
Consider combining with other VIM accessories like the Accent Bar or Corner Seat for comprehensive shower safety.
