Glue or drill?

Now it’s even easier. With GLUE forte, the enhanced version of our successful adhesive technology, you have maximum flexibility. Thanks to this innovative adhesive technology, numerous shower enclosure designs and selected bath tops can be installed securely and stably without any drilling at all – or, if you prefer, using traditional drilling methods, depending on your needs.

Versions & ranges for gluing

A win-win situation for installers and customers: Fixing with GLUE forte has been consistently optimised; not only is it super quick and easy, it also provides a long-lasting hold without damaging the surfaces – even when dismantled.

Benefits of GLUE forte

Our bonding technique using GLUE forte offers an excellent alternative to drilling:

Quick and easy installation with virtually no tools required
High load-bearing capacity
Long-term stability thanks to high-performance adhesive
Water- and weather-resistant
No damage to high-quality tiles or grout
Removal without leaving residue and without damaging tiles or grout

To ensure that GLUE forte can withstand high loads without any problems, thorough pre-cleaning is essential. It can then be used to bond to many conventional bathroom surfaces.

Residue-free removal is also no problem with GLUE forte.

Applications for GLUE forte

If it is not possible to drill into the shower:

When installing on tile edges or tile edge profiles, as this could cause the tile to break
When installing on a wall corner
On hard tiles, e.g. porcelain stoneware
If there is a metal profile beneath the tile
Where there are service pipes, e.g. water pipes or underfloor heating
Where the substrate is unclear due to a plasterboard wall
Where permission to drill is not granted in rented flats or halls of residence

Suitable for both new builds and renovations

New build

Adhering a shower enclosure rather than drilling into the walls in a new build can offer several advantages:

1. Avoiding damage to the substrate: Drilling holes in the walls can cause damage, particularly if you do not know exactly what lies behind the wall (e.g. electrical or water pipes).

2. Flexibility in placement: By using adhesive, you can install the shower enclosure almost anywhere, provided the surface is suitable. This allows for more flexible placement within the bathroom.

3. Aesthetic benefits: As there are no visible screws or drill holes, the result can look more aesthetically pleasing and modern.

Renovation

Similar considerations apply to a renovation as to a new build, and these offer the following advantages:

1. Protection of the existing surface: By using adhesive instead of drilling, you can avoid damaging existing surfaces. This is particularly important if you already have tiles or other delicate materials that must not be damaged.

2. Flexibility in placement: Adhesive installation allows you to fit the shower enclosure in a variety of locations without the need for re-routing pipes or other complex work. This can help you carry out the renovation more efficiently.

3. Aesthetic benefits: An adhesive-mounted shower enclosure can offer a cleaner and more modern appearance, as there are no visible screws or drill holes.
