It screws into the wall. You can probablu use 3m wall hamgers if you don't want to put holes in the wall. Migjt not be sturdy.

it will damage the wall you have to use anchors and screws and drill through the wall and or tile

It certainly can. It can be mounted in any position just make sure to inset it so the tile will run right up to the inside edge. Good luck with your project. Ec

Sure, it can be drilled into the wall, but it doesn't come with pre-drilled holes. I thought about doing the same thing, but I just purchased a tv stand to push it back against the wall and it holds it firmly.

Yes you can. Install the base 1st, then install cement board down to the base and then tile the walls down to the base.

It can be either surface mounted or recessed into the wall. If you want it recessed, you might have to put some more work into installing it. We had to cut out some drywall and all since our old one was surface mounted!

It is not recommended since you would generally install it with thinset. If you were to manage it you would risk the tile behind coming loose as well.

You have to use unmodified thinset to anchor this. I think you would have to first remove the tile.

I don't think this tile is ideal for this type of use. Although it is not hard to install and take apart, I suspect the tabs that hold the pieces will likely break if you repeatedly install/take apart.

I would say yes as long as you drill the tile carefully and hit a wall stud. I mounted on drywall. Some of my mounting holes missed the stud. I used molly's (sp) on those holes. If all the force is pulling on the tile and not a stud, it could pull the tile off.

You can install it on a cardboard box even. It has everything to do with the thickness of the place you're installing it. A wall works great if it's the right thickness. Check the specs. I think there may even be an extension tube available if you need it.

We've been using it for about a couple of weeks now and so far so good. No need to mount on the floor. Does come with all the necessary mounting hardware, and if the wall studs (wood) are about 12" apart then I think it'll be perfectly aligned with the holes in the wood. For extra security however I do recommend attaching to the wall using some of those "butterflies", from the hardware stores, not sure exactly how they are called now. They go through the hole in the wall and then open up in the back, and they resist a good amount of pressure. In my case I put 2 screws to the wood studs and then 2 butterflies. I can't recommend attaching to a concrete wall, and of course never to a drywall, I didn't try, but I think it'll just fall in either case. It'll be just fine if attached to wood, and specially with these butterflies. Metal studs with these butterflies screws should do just fine as well. Hope that helps.

EZ to do yourself if you've got another body to help position it for installation. in a window it is straight forward, if you need to cut a hole in the wall that is another matter. Any handyman should be able to help with the install if you don't want to do it... nice unit.

We're glad you asked! The 3M Company, under the brand name "Command" manufactures a damage free hook that can be mounted on any surface. Furthermore, it can be removed and used elsewhere if you change your mind. There is no damage to the wall, and these hooks work well on surfaces that cannot be penetrated, such as the concrete walls in our office. These Command hooks come in a variety of sizes and are available at any hardware or office supply store. Hope this helps! Have fun!

If you are talking about a ceramic tile type backsplash I would say you could if very careful if you drill it. I would drill slowly and use wall anchors to hold the screws.

Yes. Comes with a couple predrilled holes. I also drilled a couple extra into mine to bolt it to both corners of the wall.

I had got the product and it doesn't need holes to be installed. but when I saw my friend's door frame I knew that this product would hurt the frame a lot. the frame will be broken in a long term. but if you don't mind, it would still work alright.

Probably. But I would talk to someone at a home store(lowes/Home Depot) or ask a glass store or tile store. I personally wouldn't do it. I would hire someone. It was fine installing on drywall.
