Drilling was yesterday: Stick your mirror mount in the bathroom!
You would like to beautify your bathroom with a new mirror, but the very thought of the noise and dirt of a drill makes you put the project on the back burner? There's a much simpler way: With tesa® Power.Kit technology, drill holes and the hassle they entail are a thing of the past. Instead, you simply stick bathroom accessories to the wall.
Many good reasons to hang a mirror without drilling
Special mirror mounts are recommended for larger mirrors. You attach these directly to the wall before hanging the mirror itself on it. Until now, you had to reach for the drill for such mirror mounts and hang them with dowels. However, drilling has numerous disadvantages:
- Once drilled holes remain permanently in the wall.
- Drilling releases a lot of unhealthy dust.
- Neighbors are annoyed by the noise of the drilling machine.
- Improper handling can result in serious injuries.
- Drill holes quickly become too large and thus unusable.
- In the bathroom, there is a risk of drilling into water and power lines in the wall.
Many damages only become apparent after some time: If, for example, a tile is cracked during drilling, moisture can penetrate the walls through the crack. This leads to mold growth in the wall.
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 now want to install a new larger mirror, it is better to play it safe and fix it without drilling!

The right cleaning agent
Do not clean the substrate with the usual bath cleaning agents but use cleaning alcohol for this purpose.
How to install your mirror 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.
- Select the location where you want to attach your mirror.
- 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.
- Remove the adapter ring from the package and remove the foil from the adhesive surface on the back.
- Place the adapter ring in the desired location and press it firmly against the tile.
- Now everything is ready and the tesa® Power.Kit technology can be used.
- Open the applicator with the corresponding key and insert the opening into the larger hole in the adapter ring.
- Using the key, press adhesive into the adapter until some adhesive comes out on the smaller opening of the adapter.
- Now the back of the adapter is completely filled with adhesive and creates a secure bond with the tile surface.
- At this point, you will need patience. The adhesive needs to cure for twelve hours. Do not touch the adapter during this time and in any case do not check the strength.
- After the waiting time, simply place the mirror mount on the adapter and tighten the screw with an Allen key.
Now you can hang your mirror and greet each morning anew with a smile. If you want to reposition the mirror at some point, you can remove the adhesive again without leaving any residue. Or you can use the adapter elsewhere with our bathroom accessories for gluing.
