Is the bar suitable for fiberglass showers? For painted sheetrock walls?

The system uses a commercial adhesive made in Germany and used in the auto industry. The adhesive works on tile, natural stone, glass, metal, concrete, brick and most plastics. Due to the safety requirements of the ADA, we do not recommend use on fiberglass as the surface may not be flat on plane which is required and also the surface may not be rigid enough to support a potential fall. The system cannot be used on wallpaper, dry wall or painted surfaces.

i'm thinking since it's made for just a shower curtain, i don't think it will support much. i would order a steel bar for that.

Both sides of the bar are mounted to the wall, so if you can drill a hole or get a nail through it, you should be fine. There also may be an adapter that can be purchased that will eliminate the need to drill holes.

We used dura rock or green board everywhere in the shower. We supported this niche with 2x4 on 4 sides to frame it and keep it strong.

I use it for my granite counters. I guess you can use for shower walls and floors, if they are granite.

Yes. I bought this to refinish terrazzo shower bases which are essentially concrete and it worked out great.

I usually take baths but when I shower, I just pull the curtain around it. But if you feel you need more stability while showering I would bet a wall mounted shower bar as well.

The adhesive does work on fiberglass shower walls. I would not consider this removable, this is a permanent installation.

Has brackets that go onto wall with screws/Sheetrock screws. Then bar attaches to those. Not too hard to do. Recommend using level gauge if available.

we've used it on a tile shower stall with good results ~ since you control how long the steam is on any one place, suspect it would work as well on fiberglass ~

Yes. It would be behind the curtain. Perhaps wall mounted grab bars would be needed. Handle is useful getting in and out over side or seated with hand held shower.

Both bars can accommodate bath towels, however the back one is limited to the space between it and the wall and whatever towels you have on the first bar. Very fluffy bath towels would also limit that space, but it has not ever been a problem for us. It has been a great double towel bar for us.

I would think so as long as there is a rim to attach the bar. My tub is ceramic and absolutely no problem. It's a wonderful safety bar--two grabbing areas--need to be certain it is tightened as much as it can be. Perhaps you're concerned that the fiberglass might crack?? How about cushioning it with rubberized netting--used as kitchen drawer liners, also under rugs that could skid.

We put ours on a fiberglass shower unit and it adhered just fine. However, I can't speak as to whether or not it is removable without damage. Personally, I wouldn't assume you can remove it without damage due to the chemical reaction with the glue and fiberglass. Wouldn't recommend for a temporary solution or for use in a rental.

The challenge with installing in a fiberglass shower is what do you secure into. The walls of the shower are very thin so you can't use screws as there is nothing to hold into. I have installed a similar bar in a thin walled shower but I used toggle bolts with are metal and provide there own behind the shower wall support. The safety bar was very secure when the toggle bolts were tightened up. You may be lucky to hit a stud behind the shower wall but don't bank on it. Hope this helps.

Yes, ours is fiberglass I think. They are peeling off though. I think my niece really scrubs the shower HARD when she cleans. Going to have to invest in a suction mat.

The bar is made of aluminum, so it should be ok (i.e. rust resistant). But it could certainly be blown around, etc. Frankly, if you're looking to keep it outside permanently, you might want to look into getting something more heavy duty if it doesn't need to be assembled/disassembled regularly.
