The tile in my bathroom is not perfectly smooth - it is textured - similar to the texture of natural stone. Will the adhesive still work in this case?

I have a smooth shower wall, and the adhesive from the mirror failed after about a week. I cleaned the shower wall with alcohol per instructions. I found the mirror and the hook on the floor. I then used a 3m command strip hook and it is doing well so far.

Hello Michelle, Thank you for your question. My shower is of natural stone. If the wall is prepared correctly, the hook will work. To mount the hook please follow these tips (and absolutely not meant to insult in any way), * Make sure the area you plan to stick the hook is clean and dry. Typical shower residue (soap residue, conditioner splatter, moisture, etc.) will impede the adhesion of the hook. * Clean the surface with isopropyl rubbing alcohol, wipe gently, let dry. Do not use household cleaners. Many household cleaners leave behind a very thin layer of residue that affects how strongly the adhesive will bond to the surface. * Once you have cleaned to area you plan to stick the mirror, please allow enough time for this area to completely dry (remember tile is porous and will absorb moisture). This is the main reason that a hook will fail to adhere. As such, please wait a couple of hours after cleaning the wall to place the hook. * When applying the hook to your shower, please try applying constant pressure on it for 10-15 seconds in the clean, dry spot. * For best results, let the adhesive "set" for 24 hours before hanging the mirror on the hook. This ensures that the adhesive has had enough time to build strong adhesion to the wall or surface. If the hook does not do what it is supposed to do, we will to replace it.

Mine came with a suction cup, I cannot remember if there was adhesive as well...however, I have the suction cup stuck to the shower wall which is a textured glass and it sticks. The mirror weights practically nothing so that helps.EDIT: Disregard...my wife tells me I used the suction cup from anther shaving mirror I had. If she says so it must be true ... LOL

Absolutely. There's nothing magical about the adhesive. If you can find a relatively smooth spot maybe an inch square you're fine. And if it doesn't stick well you can reapply with a different adhesive strip. The mirror is light plastic so it won't be taxed by its weight.

I don't know the surface it will need to adhere to. It will not stick to ceramic tile.

Without knowing what the tile surface is like it's impossible to say. If it is textured like natural stone then I doubt the Velcro will stick to it either. If it's smooth then the suction cup will probably work.

I honestly don't know. My shower at the moment has porcelain tile on the shower floor so the mat adheres fine to that. Actually I am just renovating my shower, and that will change. I think that if you have the flat, sliced pebble tile it will adhere since it is level; but I think if the pebble tile you have is natural or raised it won't.

It depends on if it is a rough surface or smooth surface. I have marble tiles in our other bathroom, and although I haven't tested it, I expect that they would stick. Now if they are "rough-hewn", I can't promise they won't stick. They will definitely stick to the side of the tub as well, so the kids can still use the blocks, they just may not be able to stick them to the walls.

Very well, I have it mounted on the porcelain tile just below and behind the head. Also the mirror is VERY light (not glass). The real secret to getting the adhesives to work is too dry the tile completely and rub a little alcohol on the area to be applied and press it on hard. They really need a clean dry surface to work well. Any dirt/debris, oils, even from your fingers and they fail prematurely. Hope that helps.

It will stick, we have tried it, however it will not be smooth, and doesn't look very good on a textured surface.

My wall is a matte finish so it works great but I could see how a more textured wall might not stick as well..... Not sure ..... Sorry

i believe so. But if the tile has natural finish then it may affect the appearance.

No. The adhesive foam tape will take the drywall paper off and the tile will bend. I wanted to straighten on that I had installed a little crooked and it bent a little and made a mess.

With mastic adhesive it will work fine. It has a flat stainless panel that can could be adhered to the tile. If you don't want it to be permanent, just pick an adhesive that is removable.

No I didn't. It is impossible to make it straight one letter at a time. We just had a bathroom redone and it is very textured and I am guessing that is why it didn't stick. It worked beautifully on the mirror though, was very pleased with it that is why I gave it high stars. I just didn't think about it not sticking to a really textured wall.

It's enamel, so I imagine it would adhere, however the texture would be different

No the adhesive is not strong enough in my opinion. I think it will come loose when repeatedly walking over it or/and cleaning the floor.

My kitchen/bathroom recently recv'd a tile update & it has worked just fine in the bathroom. It literally glides with my feet if I move it. My sister and I have even used it on the hardwood floor with ease as well--it's not a super grip with the rubber feet that would limit mobility. Hope this helps. :)

Hi Diane, Thank you for your query. No,the adhesive will not damage your tiles and can be removed using warm water and a scraper. Also it will not damage marble tiles. Elevease comes with simple instructions and once followed will not in any way damage your shower environment . Kind regards Dave

Our tile is a rough finish and it works fine so far.. I would be moe concerned if the tiles were very small kind with lots of grout seams..
