Drilling tiles?

[Philip Wagstaff]

From my experience firmly anchoring this kind of furniture on plasterboard is not easy. First many fitments have anchorage holes very close together, quite impossible to achieve in plasterboard - so pick the right kind. Even then something as sturdy as a grab bar needs reliable fixing and I would suggest mounting it on a substantial wooden base that is first secured to the wall Drilling into tile is not difficult, use a piece of masking tape to reduce the masonry drill slipping and do not press too hard, just sufficient to cut. Whatever screw/anchor you decide on it must not put any significant pressure on the tile, or it will crack, I cut the tile hole slightly larger than the mounting hole or this reason. To use toggles requires a very large hole

Foolishly I neglected to tell the supplier i'd be using 2 taps :-/

Top tip -> Get someone else to do the holes :-)

It'll also prevent sending the neighbours doolally & them potentially getting the EHO round due to the screeching noise !

Cheers,

Paul.

Use masking tape if you want but I just twist a masonary drill bit with my hand to get through the glaze then insert it into the drill and etc etc - job done.
