Bathroom accessories such as a towel rack or toilet paper holder can be mounted with screws - to the wall. However, it is possible to manage without drilling - just use special adhesive. This not only makes installation easier, but also provides flexibility - if the hook needs to be replaced, it's simply peeled off the wall. See what to use to stick the hook in the bathroom.
Hooks in the Bathroom - Advantages
Choosing bathroom racks is a rather simple matter - it largely depends on the size of the bathroom. Although there is a wide selection of standing racks on the market, they unfortunately don't work well in small bathrooms. A better solution is bathroom hooks, which are simply stuck to the wall or tiles. These types of holders also work well attached to doors.
Moreover, their location can be easily changed - just peel them off and wipe the adhesive. These hooks also don't damage ceramic tiles - they are mounted without the need for drilling, so no holes remain. They can easily be placed by the bathtub or shower, and also near the sink - so that towels are within reach.
Racks mounted without drilling are a good solution for rented apartments - landlords do not always agree to drilling holes in the wall, and with hooks, we don't have to do it. There are many models available on the market - a color and style-matched model can be found for every bathroom. It is important that they are made of material resistant to water, such as stainless steel, aluminum, or plastic.
What to Use to Stick the Rack in the Bathroom?
Since we have already chosen the holders, we need to think about how to mount them. Some models come with suction cups, allowing them to stick to the surface - so we avoid drilling or using adhesive. Unfortunately, not every surface supports this type of mounting. Furthermore, such suction cups do not withstand the weight of wet towels or heavier toiletries. What to use to stick the racks if not using those with suction cups? There are several options:
- double-sided mounting tapes - a very easy and inexpensive way to mount, and such tape is available in hardware stores; its undeniable advantage is its high durability - it can even be used to stick a mirror onto tiles!
- mounting adhesives - they are extremely easy to use and also have many advantages: they are resistant to moisture, flexible, durable, and can be used on both smooth and rough surfaces.
Both the adhesive and tape are really inexpensive - a tube of adhesive costs starting from a few euros, and it's enough to stick all the racks in the bathroom.
How to Stick the Towel Rack?
Mounting racks without drilling is very easy. No tools or special skills are needed. And there's no need to worry about damaging the tiles, which is a significant risk when drilling. To mount the rack, you really only need two steps. The first thing to do is to clean and degrease the walls and tiles. Then apply adhesive to the hook and attach it to the wall, gently pressing. And that's it!
Modern mounting adhesives usually work on the principle of a quick grip, meaning there's no need to wait for them to dry. They can also be used to mount mirrors or toilet paper holders. These adhesives are strong enough that wet towels, bathrobes, or other bathroom accessories can easily hang on the rack. They also have a high gripping strength, so they don't require support.
Sticking a bathroom hook is a really straightforward matter. A tube of adhesive or a piece of tape, and the rack is mounted without the use of a drill. Racks attached this way don't damage the tiles because there's no need to drill holes in the tiles. They are also convenient for tenants and, most importantly, their installation doesn't generate unnecessary costs. In summary, they are simple bathroom accessories, but very useful and convenient!
