Product Overview
GLUIT Adhesive Wall Hooks were created as an alternative to drilling into surfaces like tile, glass, metal, marble, etc. which have been sealed smooth and provide a visual unobtrusive adhesive base that will hold your common household items.
These products can be used in most rooms of the house including but not limited to bathrooms, kitchen cabinets, closet organizers, bedroom closets, and utility areas. Due to their waterproof design they make great solutions for near sink or shower areas. The Peel & Stick style of installing these products also eliminates the need to screw, anchor, drill, etc.
Customers Say
Many users have commented positively about the speed of installation with these hooks, as well as their ability to be able to hang many light weight items from a smooth clean surface. Customers typically are using these hooks to hang small towel racks, hanging kitchen utensils, small organizers, decorations and other similar type household items.
Clients also enjoy the clearness of design of the hooks in relation to blending with tile and glass compared to the color of plastic. Users have commented on the waterproof adhesive being suitable for use in bathrooms and kitchens; however, they do need to ensure the surface has been properly cleaned and allowed to dry before application.
The most common complaints regarding these hooks are poor adhesion performance on rough (textured), dirty, painted or uneven surfaces and damage to paint while removing the hook. In addition some clients have stated that the true strength at which the hook can hold an item is largely based on what surface you are applying the hook too, as well as whether or not you distribute the load evenly.
