The Solid Mount™?
Why do I
need to use The Solid Mount™?
To our knowledge there is only two safe ways to install a grab
bar into fiberglass shower or tub enclosures. You could always
hire someone to put some structural support between the
fiberglass shower and the studs in the wall; the cost would be
in the upward area of $400.00 or more plus the time it would
take to complete the job, patch the walls and don’t forget the
dusty dirty mess. Or if you truly want a quick, safe and money
saving way to install a grab bar in a fiberglass shower or tub
enclosure then you need The Solid Mount™. The Solid Mount™ is a
safe, unique and solid mounting assembly that installs thru the
face of your fiberglass shower into the studs of your home so
your grab bar is securely fastened and the fiberglass is
protected.
How long does
it take to install?
It takes approximately less then 1 hour to do a complete
installation. We have heard from customers that can install a
grab bar in less then 30 minutes
Do I need to
purchase your grab bars?
No you do not have to purchase grab bars from Back to Basics, as
a matter of fact we do not sell grab bars. It is our belief that
there are enough grab bar manufactures that make a great grab
bar so why get involved in manufacturing and selling our own
line of grab bars when so many companies sell them?
Why can't I just use Toggle Bolts or some other expansion
fastener from the web?
Some people believe that you can use toggle bolts or other forms
of expansion type fasteners to attach a grab bar to the
fiberglass shower or tub enclosure walls, please do not believe
these dangerous and insecure methods. Remember the fiberglass
that you are putting the toggle bolt or other expansion mounting
bracket to still has no structural strength or stability and the
walls still can crack and completely break in time allowing you
to slip or fall and break your hip or worse.
Do I still need
to find the studs?
Yes, you must still find the studs in the wall but don't worry
that is really a simple thing to do. The reason for finding the
studs is the fiberglass has no structural strength or stability.
The Solid Mount™ mounts directly to the stud and gives you a
Solid and Safe mounting plate for you to mount your grab bar to.
How Do I
install The Solid Mount? The Solid Mount™ is installed
using basic hand tools and takes about 1 hour to complete the
installation process.
