Invisia Linear Grab Bar

While other manufacturers actively promote the use of expansion fasteners behind drywall, we feel that best practice should always be to mount grab bars securely into structural studs and if necessary, provide the necessary blocking to achieve proper structural support. Our reason for this recommendation is that in real-life scenarios, there is no way to establish, the quality, age, condition and capacity for the drywall to support the fasteners. With that said, assuming you understand the risks and additional blocking is not acceptable and that the installer believes the drywall to be structurally sound using snap toggles can be an alternative, however using snap toggles reduces the weight capacity of the product.
