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

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

I used command adhesive strips for mounting pictures - they look like "velcro" and come in white or black. Cut one in half for each end, for a total of 2 hanging strips needed per deflector. Stuck one half on wood register and one on plastic deflector at both ends. The plastic deflectors don't move.

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.

I returned the item because its finish didn't match my other bathroom fixture finish. But all ball joint mount design should allow you to move up/down and sideways. Remember the ball joint is a pivot point, all movement is limited especially sideways more than up/down. Hope this helps.

I used this product on an old plaster lath wall that was more than an inch thick with excellent results. If you're using on a fiberglass shower wall, you want to be sure the hole locations don't align with wall studs as it is a hollow wall anchor. Stay at least 2"-3" away from the studs.

It comes with two adhesive strips and two wall anchors, your choice to mount. I used the wall anchors, I don't see it lasting long with adhesive. Dispenser works great.

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.

I mounted mine with some super heavy duty Velcro, the adhesive was already on the strips. It worked great!

Yes,I did....go to Home Depot or the like & get some 2 inch wide Industrial Strength Velcro & put a full ength strip top & bottom or even around all 4 sides & do the matching strips on your wall or wherever & you're good to go. Tip; once you apply the strips to the wall & to the Unit let both fully adhere over 24 hours say,before you mount the piece. Technically you don't have to but I find the Velcro sticky side adheres better long term if you don't immediately mount the Unit.Good Luck,CJ

We installed in our bathroom next to the shower. Chrome has shown no signs of deterioration; however, it is not being sprayed with water. I would think that you could caulk around the mounting points. I don't know how well it will stand up to direct contact with water.

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.

you need to connect the hot & cold hose at back of the shower panel, then wall mount clamp the shower panel to the wall, silicone the shower panel.

Hello Michelle, Thank you for your question. My shower is of natural stone. If the wall is prepared correctly, the hook will work. To mount the hook please follow these tips (and absolutely not meant to insult in any way), * Make sure the area you plan to stick the hook is clean and dry. Typical shower residue (soap residue, conditioner splatter, moisture, etc.) will impede the adhesion of the hook. * Clean the surface with isopropyl rubbing alcohol, wipe gently, let dry. Do not use household cleaners. Many household cleaners leave behind a very thin layer of residue that affects how strongly the adhesive will bond to the surface. * Once you have cleaned to area you plan to stick the mirror, please allow enough time for this area to completely dry (remember tile is porous and will absorb moisture). This is the main reason that a hook will fail to adhere. As such, please wait a couple of hours after cleaning the wall to place the hook. * When applying the hook to your shower, please try applying constant pressure on it for 10-15 seconds in the clean, dry spot. * For best results, let the adhesive "set" for 24 hours before hanging the mirror on the hook. This ensures that the adhesive has had enough time to build strong adhesion to the wall or surface. If the hook does not do what it is supposed to do, we will to replace it. We stand behind our products 100%...without question or excuse. I will send one in the mail to you immediately. Please contact me with your address and I will have one on the way. Best regards...and Shave Well!

I have not had to do, but it does come with 2 strips and I have used the command strips in the past and there has never been an issue with removing the strip and then using a new strip to locate an item elsewhere. As long as I followed the steps given with the items, they come off nice and cleanly for me. I did relocate a hook that I keep my little scrubbie for my liquid soap when in the shower and just used another water resistant strip to place that hook elsewhere and there were absolutely no issues. We have a fiberglass shower, if that helps.

I don't remember exactly where the screws were in my package, but you need 2 screws to secure the fixture. What you need depends on where you are mounting the piece. Included with my purchase were screws and concrete anchors. I was installing on a stud wall, so used the included screws w/o the anchors, but made sure to anchor in a stud. My guess is the were 2" long #8 screws. Take a look at the mounting hardware, I think you will need pan head screws, but don't remember and am not at home just now. I would not recommend installing using drywall anchors, I just don't think many would support the towel bar and weight of damp towels. As for instructions. I'd think you should be able to find the manual on-line somewhere. I used 2 screws to install. Mount the brass octagon to the wall (it should include a rubber gasket around the outside). Place the round cover on the bar. Slide the bar onto the wall mount and tighten the two hex screws on the bar. Then simply slide the round cover over the wall mount -- it should just be a friction fit due to the gasket around the wall mount.
