How to Hang a Towel Bar on Frameless Shower Doors: A DIY Guide for Atlanta, GA, Area Homeowners

Adding anything, much less a towel bar, to frameless shower doors might seem impossible. However, with this helpful guide, homeowners in Atlanta, Georgia, or any other nearby community, will be able to safely mount a towel bar to the door of their frameless glass shower.

The chief difficulty in adding a towel bar to frameless shower doors is the risk involved in creating permanent anchor points after production – the likelihood of damaging or breaking such a large, expensive pane of glass is too great. The key to tackling this challenge, then, is suction cups. Offering a convenient alternative to traditional, mounted shower bars, suction cups provide a secure attachment and can be easily repositioned without harming the shower door glass.

When selecting the right suction cup-mounted towel bar for the frameless shower door of your Atlanta, GA, area home, it is important to consider holding power. Higher-end models will feature levers that allow you to significantly increase the force of the suction, enabling the device to support greater weights, while less expensive models will not provide as secure a connection. Regardless of which model you choose, however, holding power can be increased by applying hair spray to the bottom of the suction cup prior to attaching it – hair spray will not harm the glass and can be washed away easily should you decide to change the placement of your shower bar.
