How should grab bars be installed in fiberglass showers?
A common way to install grab bars in fiberglass showers is through a bolt to the other side and adding a plate, but there is a product called the Solid Mount which makes up the difference between the fiberglass wall and the wall/stud an inch or so further. The product is approximately $35 and can be found in the Beyond Barriers catalog. 1-800-561-2223 or 612-462-3444. For more information on the solid mount, visit their web site at http://www.beyondbarriers.com .There is a fastening system that eases the process of installing grab bars by minimizing the use of tool. WingIt fastening technology requires two holes be drilled on each side of the grab bar, then WingIt is inserted through the holes to the other side of the wall where its extension clamps expand to grab onto the wall surface on the other side. Therefore, no additional plate is needed to fasten brab bars. WingIts are available from Pinnacle Innovations at 732-257-6900 or visit their web site at http://www.wingits.com.There is
