Bathroom accessories such as a towel rack or toilet paper holder can be mounted using screws - to the wall. However, it is possible to manage without drilling - you just need to use a special glue. This not only makes installation easier but also provides flexibility - if the hook needs to be replaced, it can simply be peeled off the wall. See what to use to stick the rack in the bathroom.
Hooks in the Bathroom - Advantages
Choosing racks for the bathroom is quite a simple matter - it largely depends on the bathroom's surface. Although there is a considerable selection of standing racks on the market, they unfortunately do not work in small bathrooms. A better solution is bathroom hooks that can simply be stuck to the wall or tiles. Such hooks will also work when attached to the doors.
Additionally, you can easily change their location - just peel them off and wipe off the glue. Such hooks will not damage ceramic tiles either - they are installed without the need for drilling, so no holes are left behind. They can easily be placed next to the bathtub or shower, but also near the sink - making towels within reach.
Hooks mounted without drilling are a good solution for rented apartments - landlords do not always agree to make holes in the walls, and thanks to hooks, we do not have to do that. The market offers many models - it is possible to find a model that fits both color-wise and stylistically to any bathroom. One should remember that they should be made of materials resistant to water: stainless steel, aluminum, or plastic.
What to Use to Stick a Rack in the Bathroom?
Now that we have chosen the hooks, we need to consider how to mount them. Some models come with suction cups, allowing you to attach them to the substrate - thus avoiding drilling or using glue. Unfortunately, such mounting does not hold on every surface. Moreover, such suction cups do not withstand the weight of wet towels or heavier bathroom supplies. What to use to stick racks if we do not use those with suction cups? There are a few options:
- double-sided mounting tapes - this is a very easy and inexpensive method of installation, and such tape is available in hardware stores; its undeniable advantage is great durability - with its help, you can even stick a mirror to the tiles!
- mounting glue - is extremely easy to use, and besides that, it has several advantages: it is moisture resistant, flexible, durable, and can be used on both smooth and rough surfaces.
Both glue and tape are really inexpensive - a tube of glue starts from several zlotys and is more than enough to stick all the racks in the bathroom.
How to Stick a Towel Rack?
Mounting racks without drilling is a very simple matter. You do not need any tools or special skills for this. And you do not have to worry about damaging the tiles, which in the case of drilling is quite a risk. To install the rack, all you need to do is take basically two steps. The first thing you need to do is clean and degrease the wall and tiles. Then apply glue to the hook and attach it to the wall, pressing lightly. And that's it!
Modern mounting glues most often work on the principle of instant grip, which means there is no need to wait for them to dry. They can also be used as a method for securing a mirror or a toilet paper holder. These glues are durable enough that a wet towel, bathrobe, or other bathroom accessories can easily hang on the rack. They also feature a high grip strength, meaning they do not require support.
Sticking a bathroom hook is actually a trivial matter. A tube of glue or a piece of tape, and without using a drill, the rack is installed. Racks mounted in this way do not damage the tiles, as there is no need to drill holes in the tiles. They are also convenient for people renting apartments and, most importantly, their installation does not generate unnecessary costs. In summary, they are simple bathroom accessories, but very useful and convenient!
