Has anyone attached one to a fiberglass shower wall or do they only hold to tiled walls?

If a suction cup will hold, this will have no problem. Just use an alcohol pad to clean well before mounting.

I installed one on my tub surround (plastic) about two years ago and it is still hanging on. Not sure about fiberglass but shouldn't be much different than plastic. Make sure to follow the installation instructions - especially cleaning the surface prior to installing.

Yes, we have very porous tile walls and it's holding well. Just installed this weekend.

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.

The shower rod is tension mounted. It holds fine with the exception of extra weight from multiple towels. That is the only time I had a problem with the rod. Otherwise, it is fine and holds very well. I like the fact I did not have to drill into the tile to mount it.

This one can attach in two different ways. It can either be screwed (with two screws) into the wall or shower and/or it also has a full size adhesive pad on the back of it (needs a flat smooth surface of course for it to stick). You can actually do both if needed on this. I just cleaned the shower mounting spot with rubbing alcohol to remove any soap scum and used just the adhesive. Worked great and hold very secure. Make sure it's straight when you stick it on, because it sticks pretty quick. I researched the suction cup types and they either wouldn't stick to the wall or wouldn't hold the shower head. Hope this helps.

Sort of... Of course it works best on a smooth surface, esp. glass or metal, but I have used it on a textured tile bath enclosure and it did hold but not indefinitely. I hung a back brush from the hook and it held for months, maybe almost a year, before it finally let go. I had it in a somewhat shielded area under a shelf so it was limited in its exposure to the shower spray. Redo surface prep and remount the suction using care to follow the instructions to get the gel ring to form a proper seal. I guess it beats drilling a hole in the tile to mount a screw hook... (or does it?)

Yes... and no.... It needs to fasten to something SOLID, and a one-piece free-standing assembly with fiberglass or plastic side walls may not qualify if you want the full 250# capability. If the shower actually comes close to studs where you want the grab bar then you can just find them and screw directly into the wood. Otherwise you would have to have access to the back side and be able to put reinforcement in place. If you were installing it while also installing the tub/surround itself then you could easily attach the bar before putting the assembly in place. The one thing you do NOT want to do is just insert screws through the thin walls into air and expect it to hold the weight. Yes... and no....

I did not have very good luck with their adhesive strips. But it was in a camper shower and it did not have a flat surface to adhere it to. But I have used the Commado hooks in our shower at home with no problem in the same shower I had a razor with a suction cup that did not work. I hope this is not confusing and that it helps you. good luck

I live in an apt as well. It attaches using a tension type rod like many shower curtains use. Definitely no permanent damage with it.

The challenge with installing in a fiberglass shower is what do you secure into. The walls of the shower are very thin so you can't use screws as there is nothing to hold into. I have installed a similar bar in a thin walled shower but I used toggle bolts with are metal and provide there own behind the shower wall support. The safety bar was very secure when the toggle bolts were tightened up. You may be lucky to hit a stud behind the shower wall but don't bank on it. Hope this helps.

We've used on on a ceramic tile shower, a cultured marble wall, and now in our RV which is some type of fiberglass shower stall. The back-to-back glue works incredible well, we actually had to work hard to get it off the cultured marble wall, then used Bar Keep to clean off the residue.

I have the hook on a wood door and it is holding very well. I also have smaller command hooks in our bathtub/shower. It is a one piece shower/tub. They have held up fine. Also the other hook has done well on the door and it is used for hanging a towel. I think it would work fine on ceramic tile but you could call the company that makes them and they could tell you for sure. I like the hooks a lot. Have them in both bathrooms.

Yes, it works great. I have a fiberglass tub and shower surround and have used it on all with great results.

Yes. My shower curtain is quite secure affixed to painted walls on either side of tiles.

Yes - it has something like an internal spring - and it always "pushes out" and that is what holds it up. The ends have something like "rubberized" caps that keep it from slipping on the tile. This is a classic design that is commonly used unless you actually want to screw the rod into the walls. It is adjustable in length by "turning the two ends". It's simple once you see it. I have used rods like this for decades in the shower and smaller, decorative ones for windows (if you put the drape inside the framing). Works well. Hope this answer 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.

Yes, I'm sure you can put this in a fiberglass shower. Just mount it on the brackets and you're good to go. Also, I would bet you could find an arm extension somewhere, I've just never wanted or looked for one. Best of luck.

The suction cup doesn't work on my tile wall. However, the shower caddy is so excellent, it stays in place without it. It's a good tight fit at the top where it goes around the shower pipe and that keeps it in place. I really like mine and it is the first one that I have used that continued to look absolutely new month after month.

My shower is tiled and have not had any problems. It's like a tension rod so maybe check the tension on it.
