Daniel -Sorry for the delay in getting back to you. I don't get notifications when there is a new message here so I probably need to start checking more often. You are correct. That offer for additional silicone applies to anyone that makes the purchase. Our goal is to make every customer happy. We would like to see everyone come back during the holiday time and make this fogless mirror a gift for the people on their list.EnjoySteve ParisiPresident ToiletTree Products

Good afternoon Clark-1st off, thanks for purchasing the mirror. As for the 24 hours, you can use the shower during this time. We ask that the customer allow the silicone to set 24 hours to the wall before adding the weight of the mirror to it to insure that it has had enough time to set. Don't hesitate to ask any more questions you may have.Thanks againSteve ParisiPresidentToiletTree Products

Although the bracket apparently is not designed to be removed , does the mirror itself detach from the bracket? Thanks.
1362527
Steve,I would assume the removal process is the same on Marble as it is on tile. Will the Mable tolerate the careful use of a razor the same as tile? We just built a new Marble shower and I wouldn't want to risk damaging it.Mike

Hi Kaspian:If you take a look at the pictures we placed on Amazon, the 5th one from the left shows the mirror removed from the bracket. The mirror itself slides in and out of the adjustable bracket. There is a slightly extended bump on the back of the mirror which allows it to sit in the bracket which is the part attached to the wall, along with the shelf. Feel free to visit our website or YouTube where we have a full video posted showing the mirror in action. Regards, Steve ParisiPresident ToiletTree Products

Good Evening Clark-Thanks for the question. Our Fogless Mirror works great on marble. The smooth surface actually is one of the best surfaces to install this mirror on. My wifes parents have a marble shower wall and they have been enjoying their mirror for months. Be sure to use all the silicone when installing. Don't hesitate to email us if you have anymore questionsHave a great nightSteve ParisiPresidentToiletTree Products

Thanks Steve for the thoughtful replies. The first question was the very item I was worried about and your response was reassuring. I am assuming that the offer for additional glue adhesive applies to anyone who makes the purchase? Because of your responses, I am going to make the purchase. Thanks.

Bought the mirror . The instructions say that during the 24 hours following mounting you should let the silicone dry before putting the mirror on the bracket. Does this mean you cannot or should not use the shower during this period? Thanks Clark

I guess.....Mine is mounted on a concrete wall in my apartment Kitchen.....which has plenty of ventilation (that's a BIG need) so yes, it's semi-permanently mounted. It's really designed for OUTDOOR USE - the exhaust comes out the top of the unit. YOU WOULD NOT, REPEAT NOT WANT TO USE THIS IN AN ENCLOSED, POORLY VENTILATED AREA. VERY DANGEROUS..... MY KITCHEN IS HALF OPEN AIR WITH GOOD VENTILATION FOR THE EXHAUST (DOMINICAN REPUBLIC).

Hey Jim,My version didn't have a mounting option. When I reviewed it, this was one of the suggestions I made. I have put some double sided tape on it and it has been holding up pretty well.

Our shower stall sounds just like yours. We mounted it using the glue that was supplied 14 months ago. No problems of any sort at all!

The manual states, "Use only outdoors." That might be because, "the exhaust gas and top of the unit is HOT!" The exhaust fumes might be an issue. But, I think you could safely mount the unit outside and just run the hose that connects to the shower head through a window. I would personally be totally okay with and feel quite safe doing that. Hope that helps!

Hi Mike. Yes, I mounted this unit to the finished walls in my house. First, to answer your question, there is no damage to the drywall associated with the installation. The 4 holes you drill are hidden behind the mounting plates. However, the unit is pretty close to the wall, and I've had some...minor yet unexpected issues from use. First is that it's easy for your feet to strike the wall when doing pull-ups. Once you start exerting yourself, it's easy for your feet to swing around a bit. Avoid wearing shoes and this shouldn't be an issue. Secondly, I've noticed that over time, there are some stains on the wall that I can only assume are coming from sweat or saliva when I'm grunting out the final reps. As for installation, I have a couple tips that I uncovered while installing mine. First, find the center of just one stud. I use a stud finder, but then used a 1/64" drill bit to drill to the left and right, so when I was off the stud on each side, I could split the difference and be sure I was in the exact center. This unit mounts with large lag screws, and if you are not in the middle it could break out during use...anyway, then what you want to do is mount this first unit to the wall, but only tighten up the lag screw just unit the unit holds itself on the wall. Then, mount the pull-up cross bar to the wall mount, just getting it slightly snug. Then, place the second wall mount up and bolt the cross bar to it, finger tight. Using a level, parallel the mounting plates and mark your holes. This is important because there is very little play between the cross bar and the mounts; if you are off by even a little bit, the bolts won't drop into place. By having the cross bar in place and finger tight before you drill your second set of holes solves this. Oh, one last thing. The foam grips are comfortable, but don't hold up well at all if you are using gloves. Be prepared to buy some rubberized grip tape within a few months. All in all, this is a very solid unit for the price, and I'd buy one again. Best, Bill.

Yes. I mounted it with the included 'double sided tape' to a painted brick wall in my laundry room above the utility sink and it has held up for almost 6 months now. I did no prep work (i.e. clean wall with alcohol). I use it several times a week. The area where its mounted is very humid and I live in Florida. It doesn't feel like its going to fall off any time soon.It did come with screws and dry wall anchors but I didn't use it.

Mine does not fall from the shower wall because every 2 months, I take the suction cup holder off, clean the shower wall off and the holder, make sure all surfaces are dry and then put the holder back on the shower wall. Hope this will help you.

This one can attach in two different ways. It can either be screwed (with two screws) into the wall or shower and/or it also has a full size adhesive pad on the back of it (needs a flat smooth surface of course for it to stick). You can actually do both if needed on this. I just cleaned the shower mounting spot with rubbing alcohol to remove any soap scum and used just the adhesive. Worked great and hold very secure. Make sure it's straight when you stick it on, because it sticks pretty quick. I researched the suction cup types and they either wouldn't stick to the wall or wouldn't hold the shower head.

No, this not a permanent mount. You can use either suction grip or Velcro. I have taken mine off several times. It is a good mounting system.....no complaints at all.

I installed it right on the shower tile under the shower head. Be sure to install it low enough so that you can open it up to fill your liquid containers. It opens upwards. It comes with super strong epoxy adhesive that use use as directed. Let dry for 24 hours before getting it wet. It holds great and none of the ones I have had has ever fallen. I love these products. It's the 3rd one I have owned in my 3 baths. Love it. Enjoy!

Due to weather elements and creatures outdoors. I wouldn't advise a permanent install. What I do is I have hooks setup inside and outside where I want it. On a clear warm day I take it outside hook it to the hooks with an extension cord for power. When I'm done I mount it back inside. All that's kept outside are the hooks where you hung the screen up.

I have a rental and installed it in my place...I nailed it to a board that lies against the cupboard wall instead of nailing it permanently in place. I love it!

That's a tricky question to answer. First off, the product is flimsy, so it will need a good wall surface behind it to support it. It CANNOT go over bare studs. Second, I'm assuming you will want this in a shower, so unless you want rusty nail or screws within few weeks, I wouldn't allow any nail or screw to show. Nevertheless, if this is just going up in a shower that you have in the barn for where you wash the dogs and animals, nailing it would probably work.

I have had mine up in a tiled walk-in shower for approx. 6 months. It fell one time soon after I put it up the first time so I cleaned the tiles with alcohol & let the area dry for a solid hour (because the "pads" pass directly over a couple of grout lines). I placed a level in the 'basket' to make sure it was level side to side and front to back as I place it into the corner. It's also important to be sure it's 'square' to the corner that you're placing it in. It hasn't fallen since. We've had heavy shampoo and conditioner bottles on it, along with misc. other items, and it hasn't budged. If we needed a second one, I wouldn't hesitate to purchase this product again. BTW, another reason for leveling is to provide the right angle for the 'basket' to drain properly.

I leave mine mounted never had a problem. I did have to buy different screws to mount to the wall. The screws that come with it were too long.

It is not permanently attached to the wall. It stays on the wall because of what I would call compression and friction. One side of the rod has a mount that is adjustable and you simply turn it to make it fit the size of your shower/bath.
