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 use 3M Command Strips, size large (cut a bit to fit). Because of the four small bumps on the corners of the back, the back surface does not make contact with the mounting surface, and so one strip of tape is not enough to make contact with both surfaces, so I use two strips (on top of each other) which is enough to firmly attach the doorbell to the mounting surface.

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

I had the exact situation. I screwed directly into the stud for one anchor and drilled a hole as recommended for the other. This will give you a strong and solid installation. That is what I also would recommend. If you use a standard wall anchor you will downgrade the usefulness as a grab bar. I installed mine because my father(Age 95, 180 lbs) had used the standard toilet paper holder as a grab bar and ripped it out. The Moen holder I installed is as solid as the day I installed it. Moen has it right. Do it right and forget about it. Good luck

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.

Sure, Jennifer, but why would u want to drill holes in your shower?? I have purchased three of these dispensers. They are mounted with a silicone adhesive so I remove them from the wall pretty easily. The silicone just peels off of the wall. I have done this on a tile shower, a plastic/fiberglass surround, & a cultured marble shower with no marks left. If you drill into the wall, you also risk water getting into the wall and causing problems.

The adhesive does work on fiberglass shower walls. I would not consider this removable, this is a permanent installation.

I use the velcro command strips. I think they came with hardware - but we move a lot and I don't like to put holes in the walls. The command strips (sold at craft stores or hardware stores) work really really well!!!

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.

Honestly My super did it, but one side comes with an adhesive strip. If not you should find a strong glue, or slide it down your shower door slot...... If it has one. Hope I could help in anyway.

Command sells a hook/strip that is rated for wet areas--it's a different kind of strip than what you'd use on a wall. Amazon sells it and so do some of the big box stores; however it is very hard to find in the stores so you may be better off getting it directly from Amazon. It's not rated for as much weight as this jumbo hoook, but we've had no problems using it to hang up the rubber tub mat to dry. We even bought extra strips and are using four of them to hang up another item in the shower/tub. That item had more surface area so more room for the four strips...

Unless you want to put screws in your shower wall, I would say no. There are adhesive strips but I wouldn't trust them in a shower. Just me though.

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.

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.

This shower panel is very nice, but the installation directions are nearly worthless. There is a part that is needed that is not included with the purchase. You will need a water outlet box like those used for a washer machine. Check out a similar unit being installed on youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=51Z1Xb5n6F0

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 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.
