How to install a Shelf in my shower

hace 6 años

Can i add a permanent shelf to my already tiled shower? Now i have one that sticks with suction cups but does not last more than a couple months.

I've had excellent results and no callbacks siliconing pitched Corian blocking to tile to support a Corian shelf. Get into a corner for some triangulation support and dab the blocking with hot melt glue to hold it until the silicone grabs in a day.

It's permanent, sanitary, evacuates water, doesn't penetrate the waterproofing, and is easily reversed.

Unfortunately that is a tough one, as adding anything permanent will affect the existing tile. I agree the suction cups on their own are not ideal. My suggestion would be to look at something that can hook onto or be placed over the shower head. Good Luck!

You could try one of these dispensers. I’ve used them in two homes and my cottage, over the past 20 years, and have never had to reglue one. Personally, I think they look much nicer and are easier to use than product bottles.

I cant speak to every type of tile, but you should certainly be able to. There are certain factors that may dictate a better way of installation, but you can use caulk or screws to install shelves. Did you have a shelf style in mind? And what kind of tile? Some basic examples:

No endorsement intended by the link, but this stuff REALLY sticks. I bought a roll years ago and use it for fastening all kinds of stuff. Holds like a cat on upholstery.

Sorry, I messed up the link: Auto body trim installation tape.

Works great for smooth surfaces, not so great on rough ones. Also sticks to your hands and tools. :( About the only thing that seems to take off once it's set is acetone.
