Mine is installed on the wall, but you might try that spongy double-sided tape - something like this: 3M Scotch Heavy Duty Mounting Tape, 1-Inch by 125-Inch (314) holds up to 5 lbs.

I don't know about mounting it on tile. Probably can be done but tricky drilling through the tile without cracking it. All parts on my mirror are brushed nickel. I love it - only wish it was magical and took away some of the wrinkles!

I have this same question - did you end up mounting it to your brick fireplace? how did it go?

I did a little research and I would have to say, don't do it yourself. Go to or call a tileing store (Tile America) and get some professional answers. Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

We have installed tile on both the floor and the backsplash in the kitchen. On the floor there is a cement board that is placed there and then adhesieve stuff. These tiles will come off with some work with no damage to the board, but if the tile is installed directly onto the drywall like on a backsplash it will not come off without destroying the wall. If you are really carefully the damage might be at a minumum??

Yes, they'd make a very attractive & durable backsplash (just note, they are very high gloss). I agree with the previous reviewer, it will require the use of a stronger adhesive especially since they'd be placed vertically instead of down on the floor.

Call the company directly. They may have extras you could buy. They are very friendly and helpful. Good luck. (our Lowes Hardware sells a carrera backsplash as a stock item in tile department--not sure if you would be able to match it to a random piece as carrera has such variations in color)

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.

In my installation, I have pan head screws spaced on 2" centers, and that was sufficient. I used a 1x2 board as the backing of the board, and screwed that board into the 2x4 studs. I have a wall that is almost 7' tall, and MLV hangs from the top and is just barely shy of the floor. Hanging the MLV from the top and letting it hang loose all the way to the floor will yield the best results.

I concur with A. Eller. I measured 2.5 inches so it may just work if you can live with it touching the backsplash but I would consider other options.

you did not say that you tried mounting it diagonally. I had the same problem with my subway tile but it never did work. I suggested this because you did not mention the length of grasp on the stronghold. Give it a try.

The standard hardware it comes with is for going into studs or drywall. You'd need to drill a hole through your tile and may need to get appropriate screws, sinks from home depot to make it work. Not sure if You'd want to damage your tile like that though... good luck.. you may also try the 3M hanging stickers/ mounts. The glue on those might be able to hold the weight of everything...they come off fairly easily so wouldn't damage your tile.

Yes I mounted it using screws with drywall inserts to make sure it wouldn't fall.

yes don't screw it!case you want to move it later you want have 2 1/4 inch holes in your tile, use 2 sided tape, 25lb type should work good.

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

I concur with answer 1. I managed to mount one side of the plate to a stud and used drywall anchors at the other side. Also the bubble was way off so don't trust it.

it is supposed to be even with the tile, although depends on the tiles you use. It has to be supported all the way around with 2x4 studs(or the best you can do), and I put one sideways in between the top section and bottom section. If you don't support it well, it will move and your tiles and or grout will crack. It is a pain in the butt but well worth the effort.
