Installing towel\grab bars and hooks in a tile shower
I'm getting my shower built. Right now it is down to the studs. When should discuss installing towel\grab bars and maybe a few hooks with my framer\tile guy? What are good brands for these types of items? I want them to last forever..

Combo shower door bar or towel hook?
Comments (4)I just had another idea that I could have a knob pull on the other side of the towel bar. There's one that's 3/4" in diameter just like the towel bar. Anyone has one and can tell me if it's easy to use?...See Moreanyone install hooks or towel racks inside the shower?
Comments (11)Pinch me--thanks for the photos. I'll have to look in the peg board section. I thought that lever suction cup looked really good, and the XO kitchen tools are pretty good, too. But sounds like folks have had some luck with some other suction cups, so I'll keep looking. In the photos in magazines and websites, you only see pretty tile walls, but the reality is that there is a lot of stuff you need in your shower. I see you have a shelf on the wall.

But I see you got one to work....See MoreWhere to put towel bars and robe hook

Comments (7)Ok, that makes it tougher, but one of the better electronic stud finders might still locate the studs through the tile. I prefer to mount something that needs a lot of support - like a grab bar - only in studs. If you can locate the studs, but can't find the right length grab bar to perfectly match the stud spacing, one solution is to buy one that is slightly longer than the stud spacing and mount it at an angle that allows the ends of the grab bar and the studs to align....See More

7 years agohere is my link to my reveal several years ago.
apparently the link in the tread to show my pics doesn't work any longer :/ I'll see what I can do to that.
here is the floor with the shower pan. The Hydroban wall moisture barrier is not showing any longer, its under the shower tiles:
Read the reveal text that I linked above. It will tell all about everything I used in this bath remodel:
Floor with unfinished vanity, across from the shower. There are 2 doors into this room, the one you see here and on the other side of the room facing this door. Its my bathroom hallway, lol:
