Hey there! If you're here, chances are you've had that annoying experience of your bathroom tp holder falling off the wall. It's a real pain in the butt, literally! As a bathroom tp holder supplier, I've seen it all and I'm here to share some tips on how to secure that tp holder so it stays put.
First things first, let's talk about the tools you'll need. You don't need a whole toolbox full of fancy stuff. Just a few basic things like a drill, screws, wall anchors (if needed), a level, and a screwdriver. If you don't have these tools, you can usually borrow them from a neighbor or rent them from a local hardware store.
Choosing the Right Location
The location of your tp holder is super important. You want to pick a spot that's easy to reach but also out of the way of the toilet lid and any other bathroom fixtures. A good rule of thumb is to place it about 26 inches above the floor and about 8 - 12 inches from the center of the toilet bowl.
Use a level to make sure the spot you mark on the wall is straight. You don't want your tp holder to look all wonky. Once you've found the perfect spot, mark it with a pencil.
Types of Wall Surfaces
Different wall surfaces require different installation methods. Let's break it down:
Drywall
Drywall is one of the most common wall surfaces in bathrooms. If you're installing your tp holder on drywall, you'll probably need wall anchors. Wall anchors help distribute the weight of the tp holder and keep it from pulling out of the wall.
There are different types of wall anchors, but for a tp holder, plastic expansion anchors are usually sufficient. Drill a hole in the wall that's the same size as the anchor. Then, insert the anchor into the hole and tap it gently with a hammer until it's flush with the wall.
Next, attach the mounting plate of the tp holder to the wall using the screws that came with the holder. Make sure to screw them into the anchors tightly.
Tile
Installing a tp holder on tile can be a bit trickier, but it's definitely doable. You'll need a tile drill bit, which is specifically designed to drill through tile without cracking it.
First, mark the spot on the tile where you want to install the tp holder. Then, place a small piece of masking tape over the mark. This helps prevent the drill bit from slipping.
Using the tile drill bit, drill a small pilot hole in the tile. Once you've drilled through the tile, switch to a regular drill bit and continue drilling into the wall behind the tile. Insert the wall anchor and attach the mounting plate as you would with drywall.
Concrete or Brick
Concrete and brick walls are very sturdy, but they also require a special drill bit called a masonry drill bit. Similar to drilling through tile, mark the spot on the wall, place masking tape over it, and drill a pilot hole using the masonry drill bit.
After drilling the pilot hole, insert a masonry anchor into the hole. Masonry anchors are designed to grip the concrete or brick tightly. Attach the mounting plate of the tp holder using the screws.
Checking the Stability
Once you've installed the tp holder, give it a good tug to make sure it's secure. If it wiggles or feels loose, you may need to tighten the screws or add additional wall anchors.
It's also a good idea to test the tp holder with a roll of toilet paper. Hang a full roll on it and see if it can support the weight without falling off. If everything seems good, you're all set!
