How to Attach a Toilet Paper Holder?

The installation of bathroom accessories can be done by drilling, but it is a rather invasive method that may result in damaging tiles. The place where the screws are driven leaves a mark, which is not welcome, for example, in rented apartments. Fortunately, there are other methods that do not require the use of a drill or similar equipment. See what to use to attach bathroom accessories.

Non-Drilling Mounting Methods

Modern installation methods do not require specialized equipment or professional help. Shelves or racks will certainly not hold on self-adhesive hangers, but the toilet paper holder and other bathroom items can. The holders are attached to the wall, tiles, and even doors - this should also be considered when choosing an installation method. See what to use to attach bathroom hangers.

Mounting System

One solution is to attach the hanger using a special adhesive, of which an appropriate amount is placed in a cassette located under the mounting clip. How to do this step by step?

• You need to choose the location to hang the hook and clean it.
• On the degreased surface, firmly attach the mounting clip and insert the glue cassette.
• At this stage, the glue is not yet drying, so you can adjust the position of the clip if necessary.
• After about 30 minutes, finish attaching the element by covering the mounting clip with a decorative cap.

This type of hook is firmly attached, so it can hold, for example, towel hooks. It is also important that such an attached element is resistant to water.

Self-Adhesive Hangers

This is another solution that does not require drilling. It is probably the simplest way to mount hooks on tiles - you need to stick the hook to a dry, degreased surface, after previously removing the protective film. We can easily carry out such installation by ourselves, but it is important to know that these self-adhesive hangers cannot withstand heavy loads. A toilet paper holder or a small towel should hold fine, but a bathrobe or bath towel will probably not be able to hold it. You could consider using super strong adhesive, of which an appropriate amount is placed under the hook.

Double-Sided Mounting Tapes

This is an interesting solution that can be used even for bathroom mirrors. Such tapes are widely available and inexpensive, but their main advantage is durability. Many models of tapes can be successfully used in the bathroom because they are resistant to water. However, it is always necessary to check, as some tapes are only suitable for concrete or outdoor surfaces.

Just like when installing using glue, first, you must degrease the surface, apply vertical strips of tape to the mirror, and press it to the wall. In the case of mounting a toilet paper holder, a small piece of tape is sufficient since the paper is simply light. However, it is important to remember to choose tapes from proven manufacturers, as cheap alternatives often lack quality and may not even hold a toilet paper holder!

Special Mounting Adhesive

Using adhesive is another idea for attaching a holder without using a drill. Good glue can withstand loads of even several kilograms, so you can use it to attach a toilet paper holder, but also a bathroom shelf or mirror. When choosing glue for the bathroom, it is essential to ensure that it is waterproof and to check which materials it can be used on. Although most of these types of preparations have a wide range of uses, it is better to see if it is suitable for stainless steel, metal, or aluminum, and whether it can be used on tiles.

Installation Without Drilling - Why Is It Worth It?

Usually, bathroom accessories such as toilet paper holders, soap dishes, or towel hangers are purchased at the end of arranging the bathroom. Drilling is somewhat risky then - tiles can crack or chip. Unfortunately, damage to tiles is not easy to repair. Therefore, a better solution is to mount holders and hooks without the need for drilling.

Among the proven methods are self-adhesive hangers, mounting tapes, or special adhesives, resistant to moisture. All these methods are widely available, inexpensive, and do not require specialized skills. In the future, they will also be convenient for disassembly, as their mounting methods are non-invasive.
