Beautiful bathroom without drilling: Simply stick on your towel holder!
A towel holder in the bathroom is a must - but it also has to hold securely. Drilling holes for the towel rail, however, is associated with some risks. Depending on the condition of the wall, the drill can leave larger holes in the joints than expected. Drilling directly into the tiles is even riskier. If you are not extremely careful or if the tiles are already damaged, they can break. Then, in the worst case, a major bathroom renovation will be necessary - and in a rented flat, the landlord may demand costly replacement. But forget this scenario, because there is an alternative to drilling: Simply glue one to your towel - a shapely holder. With the tesa® Power.Kit Technology System, you attach the necessary adapter with a special adhesive. This way you don't damage any tiles and you can remove it without leaving any residue if necessary.
Drilling tiles in the rented flat: what is allowed?
Drilling prohibited! 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 attach more towel rails, good advice is needed. It is better to play it safe and attach your towel rail without drilling.
Installation without drilling: this is how it works
You need the right tools for drilling, it is noisy and can damage the tiles. If you don't have your own drill, renting one can be expensive. If you borrow a tool from a friend, you may have to wait a long time for it. But you need your new towel rail in the bathroom as soon as possible. No problem with tesa® Power.Kit technology!
Fixing the towel rail to the wall - the right preparation
For your towel rail to hold securely, the surface must be clean, dry and free of grease. Remove any adhesive residue and wipe over the surface with rubbing alcohol. Avoid commercial bathroom cleaners. These leave non-stick residues that destroy the adhesive effect.
