How to fix the hook on the tile without drilling holes, with your own hands is of interest to everyone who wants to create additional space for household items quickly, without unnecessary effort. There are many alternative ways to make the space comfortable and not spoil the appearance of the finishing material. Fastening without drilling allows you to change the location of the suspension at any time. Use our tips and suggest your own ways.
Suction Cup Hooks
The most common type. It is cheap, it is not always good. We figure out how to choose. First, look at the tile matte surface, uneven masonry in the place of attachment, chips, cracks, relief pattern - all this does not speak in favor of the suction cup. On a smooth, glossy, fat-free surface, without any flaws, the product will fully withstand a load of about a kilogram.
Determine the quality of the suction cup. Some manufacturers write on the package what weight it is designed for. You can check the manufacturer’s promises as follows - swipe your finger across the inner surface of the gum. If it is smooth, the transition to the narrowed part is smooth, without noticeable notches, then the product is of high quality.
For stronger joining, double-sided adhesive tape can be used. This method will allow you to use the hook for heavier items. Stick a piece of tape on the wall a little more than the diameter of the suction cup, now attach.
The most reliable way is to use sealant. But unhooking the hook will be quite difficult. Apply sealant to the inside of the suction cup, and press it against the tile. It will take about a day for complete drying.
Double-sided tape
Hooks with already pasted adhesive tape are on sale, it remains only to peel off the protective layer, degrease the tile and attach it. Typically, the packages indicate the maximum load - up to 4 kg.
You can independently attach the construction tape to the existing hook. The result is the same, just do not use stationery tape - it is suitable only for paper. This mounting method is suitable for situations where the suction cup is not effective.
Clay "Moment"
If adhesive tape and suction cups do not withstand the necessary loads, use the “Moment” glue. Apply a layer of glue to the wall and the hook wait 10 minutes, then firmly press it to the wall. After 24 hours, traction will be maximized. If you use glue in the bathroom, pay attention to whether it will be firmly fixed in rooms with high humidity.
In addition to the proposed methods, various types of glue may turn out to be quite effective - epoxy, super glue, liquid nails. The main thing is to understand what is the humidity in the room, the load on the hook, how to dismantle it if necessary. You can fix the metal hooks in the gaps between the tiles - a blank in the form of the letter T is made from a stainless steel 1 mm thick, the length of the “upper crossbar” is 15-20, the “legs” are about 25-30 mm, the width is 5. The seam is cleared with a piece of a hacksaw, the crossbar is inserted into a horizontal seam, smeared with grout for seams, after drying - the end bends upward with a hook. If necessary, you can dig out and grind the seam again. Advantage - no trace remains. Withstands more than 5 kg. What methods do you use to hang heavy and not so objects?
