I have 4 x 4 tiles in my shower. Will the suction cups at both ends fit squarely over the 4 x 4 tiles and clear (not touch) the grout lines?

The circumference of each suction cup is approximately 3 1/2". The whole unit is approximately 12 1/2" from top to bottom. Applying those measurements to your tiles should give you your answer. (As a safety precaution I test the suction every time before I use it.)

you did not say that you tried mounting it diagonally. I had the same problem with my subway tile but it never did work. I suggested this because you did not mention the length of grasp on the stronghold. Give it a try.

You definitely have to avoid the grout lines. We are using with 4x4 tiles, and once we got them situated, they seem very sturdy.

The suction cups are oval with tabs at the top to facilitate removal. Top to bottom, not including tabs, they are just a hair over 2-1/4" long X 2" wide.

My tile is smooth but not perfectly flat, it has small, smooth bumps on it, but the "suction cup" is not like a normal suction cup, it has a large, flat, relatively soft surface that covers a pretty big surface area, and I think that's why it works so well. I think it should work on most any glazed tile.

Yes, you can get them to fit but it is a tight squeeze. Put them in last after the tile trays and racks. Limited space but if you place them on top of each other opposite end to end they will fit. Must be done carefully. Racks go in on their sides alternate ends. It would have been nice to have more room.

I can't respond to the question of ordering suction cups since I'm just another consumer - although you can probably find those at a hardware store or JoAnn's or Beverly's. But I have the same item and the suction cups DO come loose at times, but I can push them back on. As long as you are using the plastic half ring that fits over the shower and THEN are resting the rack in the grove in the ring (and are not resting it directly on the metal shower pipe) then it won't fall off. Hope this helps.

Mine is mounted to a smooth plastic shower liner so I cannot answer from experience. The distance between the centers of the two suction cups is approximately 7 3/4 inches. The cups themselves are a little less than 4 inches in diameter. If I measured correctly it should fit horizontally or vertically on 4x4 tiles with one tile in the middle between the two mounting tiles. The tabs that stick out on the sides of the cups that indicate the status of the suction, however, may end up being on a grout line but that would not effect the hold of the suction cups on the tiles.

Yes, it should fit as it measures 3 inches across the top where it hooks onto the shower door. And with the suction cups provided, for the bottom, it should not be wobbly.

it depends. the bar over the shower ends in hooks that flare up and they are somewhat large. if your towel bar is away from the wall more than normal, it might work.

I don't know for certain but my shower has 4 inch tiles and I do not think that the spacing of the suction cups would work on anything smaller. On the plus side, one of my grabber bars is installed horizontally and the other one is installed vertically and both fit comfortably on the 4 inch tiles.

Yes, it could be installed over tile by using plenty of thin double sided tape or by caulking (or putting adhesive on the back). The sheet is reasonably thin, so as long as you don't try to secure it at only the 4 corners it should look ok.

I don't have that problem. My shower is a unit made out of plastic? I wanted to connect the handles to the studs behind the unit, but the space was too great. Therefore, I purchased the suction cup handles which according to the description will support 200 pounds. To answer your question, it is not possible to miss the grouting line. Being that you have seramic tile placed directly on the wall, you should be able to fassen the handles directly through the tile into the wall studs.

The suction cup is strong enough. I hang mine about 3 inches from the shower floor, however just in case. It can be hung on a tile, just not on the grout line.

I wish I could answer this question. My parents shower is just plain white, smooth tile. The mat does have suctions on the bottom and plenty of them. I would hope that the mat would adhere to the small pebble texture.

Under 3 conditions 1. The tiles should have flat and smooth surface. 2. The tile size should big enough for the whole suction cup. 3. Be careful, it won't stay on the tile (suction power) as long as on the mirror or glass.

I don't know but they have stuck to my ceramic tile in the shower for the several months I've had them. and my tile is not smooth. Originally I used those sunction-type hooks and they were always falling because of the air pockets due to uneven surface. The sunction cups are what I had previously used when I did have fiberglass -- they stayed up because of the smooth fiberglass surface. If the Command strips stay up on non-smooth surfaces (where air could seep in), I would think they would work on smooth surfaces also. I have a squeegee hanging from one and wet washcloth on another.

You can try placing each end on a different tile with the grout in the middle but it won't hold long enough for you to get through the shower anyway probably. It doesn't stay on any wall long enough to do any good.

Yes, both suction cups slide along the stainless rail so you can avoid the grout lines in between the tiles.
