Installation Guide for tesa® Powerstrips technology

Once you have found the right place for mounting, you should clean this area intensively. The waterproof Powerstrips® will only achieve their maximum holding power on surfaces that are free of dust, grease, lime and dry.

Therefore, first clean the surfaces with a damp, clean cloth before application. Please do not use any non-stick cleaning agents or cleaners containing silicone, as these substances impair the adhesive effect. Then use the enclosed primer cloth and wipe the surface very thoroughly with it. 

If you want to "play it safe", wipe the area again with a dry, soft and clean cloth.

Take Powerstrip® from paper sheet. Make sure that you only touch the Powerstrip® at the marked grip areas. This is often below the red or blue marked line. Be careful not to touch the Powerstrip® on its sticky side.

Stick the Powerstrips® in the designated places on the bathroom accessory you want to mount on the wall, so that the blue, peelable side is facing up. Make sure that you press firmly on the adhesive strips for five seconds so that they can develop their full holding power.

Now remove the blue protective film and press your bathroom accessory with the waterproof Powerstrips® to the place where you want to attach it.

Info: Do not touch already open adhesive surfaces with your fingers. Otherwise, new grease could get onto the surface and reduce the load-bearing capacity.

To guarantee the best hold, the tesa® Powerstrips Waterproof XL must be properly attached to the wall.

Simply remove your bathroom accessory from the tesa® Lavaa or tesa® Baboo series from the wall without removing the Powerstrips® by pulling it parallel to the surface.

In the next step, press the adhesive strips firmly to the surface for five seconds.

Now you can slide your bathroom accessory back over the powerstrips® and use your product as usual with full hold - no drilling required.

Removing the Powerstrips® is just as easy as installing them! Pull off your bathroom accessory parallel to the substrate so that you only see the adhesive strips in front of you.

These can be removed again without leaving any residue. To do this, simply pull off the Powerstrip® slowly, parallel to the surface. Whilst doing that, hold the transparent adpater plate tight.

Voila! Your surface is as clean as it was before. You can reuse transparent adapter plate and the bath accessorie itself. You simply can purchase a Powerstrips Waterproofed XL refill pack.
