Glass Shelf without drilling for gluing

Glass shelves for your bathroom - forget about drilling holes and dowels

A glass bathroom shelf is not only practical for placing bathroom utensils such as toothbrushes, soap and other hygiene products on it - it also visually enhances your bathroom. In most cases, you reach for the drill when attaching it. Thus, valuable tiles, or even pipes can be damaged. With our adhesive bathroom trays and tesa® Power.Kit technology, you can attach your tray according to your needs without drilling.

Drilling tiles in the rental apartment: what is allowed?

The law is clear when it comes to drilling holes in the landlord's property. As long as there are sufficient towel rails, shower rods, toilet paper holders and mirrors in the bathroom, it is forbidden to drill any more holes. In particular, it is not allowed to drill into tiles at all. If you want to install a bathroom shelf now, better play it safe and fix your shelf without drilling!

How to install your glass shelf for the bathroom

It is important that you take into account twelve hours of curing time. That's why we recommend starting the installation in the evening and continuing the next morning. In addition, each package of the tesa® Power.Kit technology series contains richly illustrated instructions.

It is important that you allow twelve hours for curing. That's why we recommend starting the installation in the evening and continuing the next morning. In addition, each package of the tesa® Power.Kit Technology Series contains richly illustrated instructions.

1. Select the location where you want to attach your glass shelf.
2. For the tesa® adhesive to stick to the tile, the surface must be free of dust, grease, lime, and other residues. Use a clean, soft cloth for basic cleaning. Please do not use any non-stick cleaning agents or cleaners containing silicone, as these substances impair the adhesive effect. After basic cleaning, clean with rubbing alcohol. If a cleaning cloth is included with your accessory, please use it.
3. Remove the adapter ring from the package and remove the foil from the adhesive surface on the back.
4. Place the adapter ring in the desired location and press it firmly against the tile.
5. Now everything is ready and the tesa® Power.Kit technology can be used.
6. Open the applicator with the corresponding key and insert the opening into the larger hole in the adapter ring.
7. Using the key, press adhesive into the adapter until some adhesive comes out on the smaller opening of the adapter.
8. Now the back of the adapter is completely filled with adhesive and creates a secure bond with the tile surface.
9. At this point, you will need patience. The adhesive needs to cure for twelve hours. Do not touch the adapter during this time and definitely do not check the strength.
10. After the waiting period, simply place your glass shelf on the adapter and tighten the screw with an Allen key.

From now on, your glass shelf is ready for use and fully loadable. Should you want to reposition it at some point, you can remove the adhesive again without leaving any residue. Or you use theAdapter otherwise with our bathroom accessories for gluing.
