Installs Virtually Anywhere - WingItsŪ allows for grab bar placement virtually anywhere at any point of the building or remodeling process. Use WingItsŪ Fastening System for dry wall, tile, acrylic or fiberglass tub surrounds. Installs in approx. 15 minutes, often requires no blocking or wood studs, and eliminates the need to tear open & reconstruct walls.
Residential Installations - In residential installations, it is preferable to have blocking if you are installing into 1/2" dry wall. (WingItsŪ alone with 1/2" drywall will only hold up to 250 pounds). Installation into ceramic tile, tub surrounds and marble, do not require blocking and have an 800lbs weight capacity.
Commercial Facilities - With 5/8" sheet rock, common in commercial facilities, no blocking is needed. This means there is no need to tear open and reconstruct existing walls, saving time and money.
