Question 1

What kind of double-sided tape do you use?

Accepted Answer

We use high-quality double-sided industrial tape from suppliers including 3M and a Swedish supplier. The tape is designed to withstand humid environments and provide a strong, long-lasting bond on smooth surfaces. If the installation instructions are followed carefully and the surface is properly prepared, the tape can remain in place for many years. Some of our tapes have extra-strong adhesion for humid environments, which can also make them slightly harder to remove. However, they can be removed with the right method and care.

Question 2

Which surfaces work with Wall-it?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the mounting method you choose. In bathrooms, our products are usually mounted on tiles, which work well with all mounting options when installed correctly. Double-sided tape: Mainly recommended for hard, smooth, clean surfaces such as tiles, glass and metal. Avoid wallpaper, plaster, brick and other porous or sensitive surfaces. Also take care with painted and lacquered surfaces, as the tape bonds strongly and paint or surface finishes may be damaged during removal. Adhesive mounting: Best suited to solid, stable surfaces such as tiles, glass, metal and other smooth surfaces intended for use with the adhesive. Avoid loose, porous or sensitive finishes that could detach from the underlying surface. Screw mounting: Can be used on tiles, wood and other solid wall materials, for example. Always use screws, wall plugs and an installation method suitable for the wall material. When mounting on tiles or in wet rooms, correct installation is especially important to avoid damaging the surface and waterproofing layer.

Question 3

Can the double-sided tape be removed?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The tape can be removed, but because it is designed for a strong, long-lasting bond, removal should be done carefully. First warm the tape gently, for example with a hairdryer. The heat softens the adhesive and makes the product easier to release. In our experience, inserting a thin, strong line, such as fishing line, behind the mount and carefully working it back and forth works well until the tape releases. Remaining tape residue can often be rubbed or rolled off with your fingers. On durable surfaces, warm water and a little washing-up liquid may also help. For more stubborn residue, a dedicated tape or adhesive residue remover can be used. Stronger solvents, such as T-röd (denatured alcohol), should be used with caution and only on surfaces that can tolerate them. Avoid these products on painted, lacquered and other sensitive surfaces, as they may affect the finish.

Question 4

How long should the product rest before use?

Accepted Answer

Press the holder firmly against the wall for approximately 1–2 minutes, ensuring even pressure across the entire mounting surface. Then leave the holder unloaded for 72 hours to allow the tape to reach its full bond strength.

Question 5

What metal do you use?

Accepted Answer

The holders are made from stainless steel or aluminium, depending on the product. The materials are chosen to provide a durable and robust solution for use in bathrooms, kitchens and other spaces. Some models also have a powder-coated or other surface-treated finish depending on the colour and model.

Question 6

Do you deliver outside Sweden?

Accepted Answer

Yes. 5–10 working days within the Nordics and 10–15 working days within Europe.

Question 7

What is the small piece of tape on adhesive products for?

Accepted Answer

The small piece of tape is only a temporary mounting tape that helps hold the product in place while the adhesive cures. The tape is therefore not intended to support the product permanently and should not be confused with our self-adhesive models that are mounted using double-sided tape. For adhesive mounting, apply the adhesive according to the instructions and then press the product against the wall. The mounting tape helps hold the product in position during curing until the adhesive has reached sufficient strength.
