Can the brackets be glued to the tile in a bathroom?

Hi Peggy: I don't think gluing the brackets along would work. It comes with brackets that need to be installed with anchors, then they won't pull out of the wall no matter what you do! It's not hard to install anchors. If you're doing it yourself, look online for instructions. Hope this helps!

Peggy I posted an answer to your question and after reviewing the other responses, I realized I was commenting on a different towel bar. The one I was commenting on did not have metal brackets that were screwed to the wall. please disregard my previous post. If you want to mount a towel bar with metal mounting brackets, you need to use a masonry bit and anchors. Sorry about the misunderstanding.

Probably not. The sheet metal mounting brackets are designed to be fastened to the wall with screws. Then, the ceramic bar holders slide down over the metal brackets and wedged into place. Getting a good structural adhesive bond between the metal brackets and ceramic tile could be problematical.

I used ceramic wall tile pre-mixed mastic to attach the brackets. If you have a masonry drill bit, drilling some shallow holes in the tile will aid in adhesion. After gluing, I used masking tape to hold the bar in place for 24 hours and then caulked around the brackets. It has held fine and seems to be extremely sturdy.

I doubt it. The two visible, white ceramic parts that hold the plastic bar are made to slip over a metal clip. The metal clip is meant to be screwed to the wall. I doubt that either the metal clips or the ceramic parts themselves could be satisfactorily glued to bathroom tile well enough to hold up the weight of a wet towel. But, maybe some kind of super glue could do that! It might be possible to drill the tile and use the screws, but I suspect that would be tricky. Perhaps the manufacturer could advise.

If mounted properly in the tile, then yes. This does not come with the hardware for that, however. It only comes with small plastic drywall anchors and screws. But if you drilled into the tile, used the appropriate hardware, and sealed properly to prevent water from getting in, then there is no reason you cannot install this in a shower. That being said, I don't think it is particularly practical. There are probably better options for a shower shelf than this. Hope this helps!

yes. ask your tile installer about it. it will need an edge to the tile to finish it, but the plumber doesn't have anything to do with that part. the sink will likely need extra support mounts to brace it up rather than glue only to the slab, but it is easy to do. i did the plumbing myself with a hacksaw and the pipes from home depot (i have never done it before and am handy but it is not my day job). it is like putting together a puzzle but easy to do. even the disposal part was easy after watching a video online.

I believe you can. Brackets are mounted with a suction cup, so this shouldn't be an issue.

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

Yes, I did. Anything can be mounted on tile with a masonry drill bit and anchors. It should come with anchors. It looks great and the chrome bar even flips up for glass cleaning. Nice shelf.

Can be glued but you need to consider a different configuration later on where glue will make this harder. To screw these items you would need to pre drill the plastic piece and find screws that would not penetrate the table/wood flooring.

Brian - Think of it as being permanent until you want it to be removed. Then, with minimual effort on your part, it will come down without damaging the tile. Here are some tips for removal of the adhesive: simply slide a metal or plastic spackling knife behind the bracket. As the knife cuts the silicone adhesive push the blade further and further behind the bracket until you feel the bracket become loose from the wall. To clean off any remaining jelly silicone from the wall simply (and carefully) use a single edge razor blade. So, obviously this mirror is not meant to be moved around every week. But people should have no fear of mounting our product even if they know they will need to move it in a few weeks/months. In fact, since we want you to continue enjoying our mirror at your next location, please feel free to contact us and we'll send you more mounting tape and silicone gel free of charge. Don't hesitate to ask any other questions you may have. Enjoy your mirror and thank you for your support Steve Parisi President ToiletTree Products

You can, but it would probably need really strong glue to hold it up. These, like most self-stick tiles, bond securely to the floor over time as they are walked on. They could detach from a wall without some help.

I know that they make hooks and adhesive that are specifically designed to be hung in the bathroom, around the moisture, so that may be the way to go. I have had traditional 3M adhesive fall off the wall in hot, humid conditions.

I didn't use glue, the screws hold just fine. I used the track to provide access to a reptile tank, which is accessed every day. I would use a two part adhesive if I were to use any.

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.

It does include the wall brackets, you will have to attach it with the screws...so if you have tile all the way up it could be an issue.

No. The adhesive foam tape will take the drywall paper off and the tile will bend. I wanted to straighten on that I had installed a little crooked and it bent a little and made a mess.

Can this be mounted to a tile/granite wall? Without screws? What would I use?

Yes, it would be possible, but not easy. There are no holes in the legs to which you could attach the "L" bracketsPat L

Yes they can, they have little feet on the bottom to set them on a flat surface in the vertical position only. They can't be wall mounted without the bracket.
