My handyman removed all the old tile, placed boards between the joists and then installed new tile and then the seat. I would not want to try it by myself, but then, I just had my knee replaced. The seat is wonderful! My cats like it, too! If the joists are the right width apart, should be able to be installed through the tile.

It would work. But you would need the right drill to pre drill through your tile without cracking it.

Yes it can. I installed mine through the wall. We really like our unit. Enjoy.

No. You have to screw/drill this into the wall (using your own screws/anchors).

You have to use unmodified thinset to anchor this. I think you would have to first remove the tile.

It must be screwed into the wall. We had our contractor install it and it was a two man job.

I installed ours on finished tile. It's a bit of a pain to drill into but I believe that's what Toto recommended

The instruction manual states that the screws included in the package are for concrete walls, but my bathroom wall are not made of concrete. So I had a professional contractor install it for me, and he had to get some screws from Home Depot to do it.

If you want to install it on tile, you can but your going to have to drill into your tile and you need to be careful you don't crack the tile when you do. Plenty if information out there on the net on how to drill into tile for install. I had installed this bar in a rental with tile, but I used Gorilla glue to hold it on so that when I left I could take the bar down and scrape off all the glue leaving no evidence behind. It stayed up for about a year and a half, then started to come off so I just glued it back up there again and it stayed for another year and a half until we moved. Came off with a razor blade with no trouble at all. Gorilla glue is not the best job for a permanent install though.

I would check with a professional carpenter if you have or will be putting in a wall unit. It's a different project from what I took on as a DIY.

No idea, but it gets warm enough that I suspect it would destroy wallpaper if applied directly. Note that this unit has "feet" on each corner that project about an inch away from the installed surface, so installing INTO a wall is not a good idea. Too much heat will dry the wall materials too much and risk your safety...Check the grainger.com site for an installable wall or ceiling panel.

To install it, you need to put wall anchors in the sheetrock (included). Then you screw the plate to which the soap dish attaches into the wall anchors. On removing the soap dish, there would be small holes (less than 1/4") where the anchors are.

I wouldn't say that it requires professional installation. I did mine. It is not that difficult but if you haven't done much to bow before I might consult a pro.

Do you plan on doing the installation yourself? I would be tempted to let a pro do it.

Yes the handrail is suitable for securing to a tiled surface.I have installed mine in my shower area which is tileddirectly onto the wall. A proper tile drill and appropriateRawlplugs or Rawlbolts (which I used) are required

I surfaced mounted mine... I believe it can be installed in the wall. I didn't save the install instructions so I can't verify this. I suggest you go to Kohler web site they will confirm which installation methods they have for this model #. This is a very high quality cabinet and I am very happy with it.......

Yes this bar can be installed over ceramic tile. You must have a carbide tip drill bit to drill through the ceramic. If it is Porcelian tile you will need a diamond tip bit. If this bar is going to be used by a handycaped person I would recommend that it be attached into the studs in the wall for maxamine strenght. Good luck with your project.
