can the clamps be used to support a glass shelf inside a shower. Will they maintain the chrome finish and not rust?

I would guess by looking at them that they would last for a while in a damp area - like a couple years at least. Might have to remove the shelves occasionally to be able to clean between bottom lip and glass.

Yes they will maintain their finish they should not rust at all very beefy clamps! I would use them in a shower

Only complaint is mounting screws that come with them are cheap made screws I would buy new stainless steel screws for shower application

I believe so. I'm not certain if it would rust over time, but it should hold up well in the shower.

probably, but it will depend some on the individual rod... i got this one Moen 52-5-BN Donner Commercial 5-Foot Stainless Steel Shower Rod Set, Brushed Nickel which is cut to length to make it a non-issue... these are the best rolling hangars i have seen anywhere regardless though. Over 6 months and still working great with not a spot of rust

I posted a photo of my clamps, mine have, at the very least, a thick plastic shell. It is not the nice metal ones they show in the picture. I am not a fan of the plastic ones. They work well but I'm worried about durability and I feel I paid for the steel ones.

I haven't had my shelf very long, but it seems to be very durable. Our bathroom, is very large and mine is mounted on the wall well away from the shower, so I know it won't rust there. But if you have it in a bath that gets totally hot and steamy, or close enough to where it might get splattered, be aware that it might rust. I like it because it holds alot and we can always have clean, fresh towels handy.

Absolutely, but I would HIGHLY recommend you clean the surfaces to be adhered first with acetone to make sure there is no existing soap residue or contaminants, as well as try to clamp in place for a number of hours to ensure good bonding. depending on the strip design, you could use a long strip of 1x2" wood with C-clamps to hold at ends and middle and "sandwich" the plastic strip between the wood and shower door.... then remove the C-clamps and wood, and you wouldn't have issue. Very strong bond when surfaces cleaned and clamped to set.

Not what they are intended for and the shelf is glass so if it breaks not the best situation in a shower with bare feet....... This particular shelf is only 19" long and fairly narrow... Couldn't put that much on it .... Would not be my first choice for a shower.

Yes it will hold it. What are you going to set on the glass? In my case I used the glass shelves for towels in my bathroom. On the top shelf I put a couple of knick knacks. My glass is curved but is a foot deep.

They are very nice chrome type metal. I only use mine in my art room indoors. I would suggest if using in a wet environment to test one first.

I think that would work just fine. The clamp is designed for any horizontal surface, so if you are clamping it to a shelf instead of a desk top, it should work fine

I have the old metal tub covered in porcelain and the clamp is very tight. I would not recommend tightening it on a fiberglass tub tight enough to be a good support. So, my answer is "no". The manufacturer might have another type of clamp that could be tightened.

Yes, if they are fairly thin ( 1/2" thick). The clamps are long enough to clasp on to 1" thick crossbars.

These work great for a closet rod. I really can't answer as to whether they can tolerate moisture and be used for a shower rod. You might try contacting the maker, National Hardware, directly for the answer to your question.

By design, I wouldn't suggest this in a shower. Just outside the shower shouldn't be a problem, but it needs to be secured by tension from floor to ceiling and I fear it might crack your tub/shower with continued pressure. Plus, as you mentioned, it is metal so it will likely rust due to a few holes where residual water will enter and collect. Hope this helps.

That is exactly the reason I purchased them..no rust but they are extremely hard to get apart. Probably about half ended up crumbling to pieces when we pried apart. The ones that I am using on the shower curtain work great.

That really will depend on the clamps and their positioning. A tech at Pro-Series may be better able to answer that question, they will probably need to ask a few questions to determine. Their toll-free # is 800.632.3290 Thanks! Got-Chrome

It says it is stainless steel. It should not rust in a shower if it truly is. I have not purchased it for that purpose it is on my counter top to aide in storage of smaller things.
