Many thanks to everyone who pitched in on my computer sound thread. Here's
a more traditionally-DIY question: I have to fix two grab rails to the walls of a walk-in shower: these are timber and plasterboard stud walls covered with ceramic tiles. I do have limited access to the other (non-tiled) side of the walls, so I could probably locate the vertical studs by drilling a series of holes, but the rails are a fixed length so even if one end can be secured into timber the other probably could not. Can anyone recommend the best really strong and secure hollow-wall fixings for use through tiles? In the past (on plain walls) I've used the type with two sprung metal arms which open up once through the hole, but I'm concerned in this particular job that the hole has to be considerably larger than the diameter of the bolt: isn't there a danger of the rails, however tightly fixed, being able to slip about slightly, especially on a glossy tiled surface? Thanks for any thoughts. |
