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.

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

I used Command™ Picture Hanging Strips. In fact I use those Command™ strips for practically all of my wall decor now. I love them.

Yes, command strips stick well to a textured wall. They don't stick to something as rough as brick though.

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.

Supplied mounting strips would hold on as long as it is not relocated a lot, if that was the case you could still purchase 3m sticky strips for about .99 locally. Then you could relocate as much as you desire

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!

In the master bath we used Moen brushed nickel 9" towel bars(Method YB2486BN) & pivoting toilet paper holder and Umbra flip 3-hook wall mount all purchased from Amazon. The lighting is a combination of recessed and Lowes 3-light. In the guest bath The lighting was also from Lowes and the towel bars were from Target. I suggest waxing the faucet where the water comes out and wiping it dry after use to avoid water spots, especially if you have hard water like we do. This faucet does require more maintenance than a regular style, but we get lots of compliments and love the look! Wish I could post photos to show you how great everything goes together.

Mine are mounted in a tiled shower, but my assumption would be that it would work just fine on fiberglass, too. I'm basing that on the method used to "attach" it to the wall. There is no adhesive or even suction involved. Instead, you place it where you want it (there are thin foam strips on the back so nothing will be scratched), make sure it is level and then just press on the "bar" at the front which keeps the pressure on and holds it in place. It's almost unbelievably clever; mine have both been in place for a number of months and seem as secure as the day I put them in. Removal is equally simple. You'll love these things -- fabulous!

I will gladly send photos of my installation (I tried to insert a photo and couldn't, if you know how let me know) I ran into a situation where the new mounting sights where the shower rod attaches to the wall was not at a point where a wall stud was located. I used a screw-in drywall anchor (like the The Hillman Group 41408 Self-Drilling Hollow Wall Anchor found on Amazon)

I don't know of one but a piece of plumbers metal stripping would work fine. The stripping is bendable and has holes in it to put screws through to the wall.

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 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.

Mine is installed on the wall, but you might try that spongy double-sided tape - something like this: http://www.amazon.com/3M-Scotch-Mounting-125-Inch-314/dp/B0007P5G8Y/ref=sr_1_10?s=hi&ie=UTF8&qid=1412563943&sr=1-10&keywords=double+sided+tape

At good 'ol 'Wally World' (Walmart) the sell a velcro called "INDUSTRIAL STRENGTH" which you could probably frame a house with! Pretty basic stuff - one side on speaker, 1 on wall, remove plastic film from back of each exposing the adhesive surface... well, you see where I'm going with this :P Stuff is no joke either, in the event of an F5, in it's wake you will find a couple slivers of wall left a-fixed to the foundation with a speaker stuck too 'em. After discovering this stuff its a short list of things in my home NOT velcro'd to something. I recently remounted the engine in my car using it... ;P Oh and if you'd like to mount them in corners: scrap piece of plywood, square, saw, 45 degree angles... again, you get it. Just throwing the suggestion out there. Every wall mount speaker I've owned since this discovery has been mounted in this fashion. Even if they come with mounting hardware I use this method - the ease, security, and convenience just so far outweighs the pros of any other method I've seen.

I use 3M command strips. The best option for you may be the velcro type for hanging pictures on walls. This way you can just use the included mount... I picture everyone else now going "ahhhh good idea" :-) smiles

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.
