Can I mount this unit on a fiberglas shower wall that is smooth & shiny? Better wiith the silicone method or the command strips?

Our shower stall sounds just like yours. We mounted it using the glue that was supplied 14 months ago. No problems of any sort at all!

We fitted one to the fibreglass wall in our motorhome with the silicone. It's still up!!

I just used the command strips & even with showering everyday, after almost a year they are still good and tight. No problems at all.

Hello Ali JuliaI wouldn't trust that hook on any surface. My experience with it was really bad. The adhesive tape on the back failed repeadily (usually in the middle of the night) I called 3m and they sent me new adhesive strips which also failed after about a month. I liked the design and that is why I purchased it at first but if you really want to use it I strongly suggest you screw it to the wall with a mechanical fastener otherwise you're in for a rude awakeing in the middle of the night!

Unfortunately, the included 3M Command Strips don't tend to work well on textured surfaces. They're designed to work on smooth, flat surfaces. If you'd like to know more feel free to email us at support@dockem.com.Thanks,ColbyDockem Support

I believe so but I have mine attached to a fiberglass shower wall and they hold very tightly. I have tried to pull them off to test them but cannot and they have been on for almost two months!

I used the hanging mount included. Flush mounting would be a little difficult, but just make sure the plate is installed completely or the tamper switch will be tripped.

I would use several strips to clamp the bed in place while several globs of silicone adhesive are curing. I used this stuff to hold a magazine rack to my bathroom wall (ceramic) and about 8 months later it began to peel off the wall. I re-attached it using the strips and silicone adhesive and that won't peel off unless I pry it off.

I used two of the 3M Command strips (medium duty) for this very reason. If you ever want to move it just pull down on the exposed ends of the strips and it releases cleanly. I spaced them apart on the back of the bracket with the tabs exposed and they don't show with the mirror in place. If you remove the mirror from the bracket the tabs are exposed and it's readily removable. And no worry about cleaning up silicone residue from the wall.

Definitely, I cut a few inches off mine. Also, the template for placing the TP holder has the wall mounts a little too wide for my taste. That's any fix though, just something to consider.

We put ours on a fiberglass shower unit and it adhered just fine. However, I can't speak as to whether or not it is removable without damage. Personally, I wouldn't assume you can remove it without damage due to the chemical reaction with the glue and fiberglass. Wouldn't recommend for a temporary solution or for use in a rental.

Yes. It's like a great big drywall anchor. You drill a big hole into the shower fiberglass and into the drywall. I had no space between the fiberglass and drywsll to deal with. be sure your measurements are right for your holes before you attach your bar. They really need to be exact.

I mounted mine using Command Strips about a year ago and it's still going strong. You have to be a little creative about it and make sure that they cure before you hang anything on it. I can't promise it'll work if you're using to hold any particularly heavy knives or tools, but it works for me.

It will not work with the Wall Control pegs if you mount the strips vertically! Each peg requires at least one vertical slot!

I skipped the ceiling mount ( you can cut it to any length) but reinforced the support with my own constructed wall support. I just used a bracket for screwing conduit to a wall to support the shower curtain bar since I skipped the ceiling mounts. It's supported on three corners and holding up fine. Might be an issue if you have kids who will pull down on the shower curtain.

hi--please also see my review--i hung this on my glass shower door--just to keep water from beating on soap--but--i have a big command hook on my fiberglass shower wall that has a back brush and poofie hanging from it with no problem--been up for years--hope that helps.

I wall mounted it using 1/2 hard copper with male pipe thread ends soldered to right angle fittings and attached to the framing with clamps. I had to make sure I ordered the one with 1/2 14 NPT fittings to do this. Very nice part, very solid this way.

I have a smooth shower wall, and the adhesive from the mirror failed after about a week. I cleaned the shower wall with alcohol per instructions. I found the mirror and the hook on the floor. I then used a 3m command strip hook and it is doing well so far.
