More Details

. The rails are made of a white plastic with no sharp edges.

. A pivoting telescopic rail is available to allow rails to be mounted in difficult corners or within a bath.

Factors To Consider

Caution
* These rails use suction to maintain their position to the wall
* They are not designed to support full body weight and should be used as a temporary measure
* Check the condition of the wall or tub surface before positioning the rail
* High climatic temperature (above 30 degrees) will reduce the tensile force
* Keep the suction cups clean, dry and free of oils or grease
* Use underwater reduces adhesive power

Important Considerations
Do not:
* use on wall board, wood, painted or papered surfaces
* place over grout lines
* place in a position of direct sunlight
* use sharp instruments that may damage the suction discs
