- Choosing the Right Towel Hook or Towel Bar With Hooks
They’re decorative and useful items, which is why you should make sure you choose the right one first.
The good news is that there are a lot of types to choose from, such as:
- Single hooks: Easiest to install and only need a small space, unlike those with many hooks.
- Swivel hooks: They have arms that can be rotated, allowing you to reach many towels and items at any angle.
- Two or more hooks: They’re ideal for families or a bathroom with many towels because they have a lot of hooks.
Also consider their material and quality, which you can check through the following:
- User reviews
- Certified as waterproof and dustproof
- Made from strong materials like stainless steel
- And so on
- Finding the Perfect Spot for Your Bath Towel Hook
Make sure to place them where they are easy for you to reach when you’re in a bathtub or shower.
You can do this by avoiding putting towel hooks in places that are blocked by cabinets or anything else.
Think about its height too and align it with the users’ needs, which are 55 to 70 inches from the floor, while it needs to be lower for children.
- Prepare the Wall
Ensure you have the needed materials, like:
- Drill
- Level
- Pencil
- Screw driver
- Tape measure
- Your beautiful towel hooks
- Drywall anchors (if you will not attach the hook to a wall stud)
Now position the hook at your preferred height on the wall while using a level to ensure it is straight.
Then mark the wall using a pencil where you will cut the holes for your screws.
- Attach Your Bathroom Towel Hook
Remove the mounting plate from the hook’s back and tighten it to the holes with the screws.
Then slide the towel hook over the plate that is attached to the wall before tightly pressing it on it.
Or fasten it with the pressure screw too, if it has one, to keep the plate and hook attached to each other.
If you need a drywall anchor, put it first before inserting the screws through the hook’s hole into it and tightening them.
- Check the Stability Of your Towel Hook
When you finally attach the bathroom towel hook, gently pull it to make sure it is strong enough to carry towels.
Adjust it if needed, and consider adding wood glue to the hole for screws, especially if you will attach the hook to a hollow wall.
