where the mounting surface is structurally sound, in the
corner between 2 walls that are relatively perpendicular to
each other. Strengthening modifications may
page 3 for details). Should not be installed in fiberglass /
acrylic shower enclosures with insufficient stiffness and
strength. Should not be installed into metal studs. If you are
not equipped to undertake the outlined work we recommend
that you have your Invisia™ Corner Shelf installed by a
qualified contractor. Suggested maximum user weight of
support rail is 350lbs/159kg, however this rating is conditional
upon suitable fasteners and suppo
weight bearing surface.

FASTENERS: INSTALLATION & MAINTENANCE
The Invisia™ Corner Shelf must be secured to the wall with
fasteners appropriate to the structural material. Inspect, or
have inspected (and tighten if necessary) the screws on a
monthly basis. Included are 2 sets of mounting hardware for
different wall applications.

For tile walls judged to be suitably strong, for moderate
support weight bearing applications, you may choose to use
the supplied SnapToggle® toggle bolts without reinforcing
structural improvement. See Figur
details.
If you are using fasteners other than the ones supplied, we do
not recommend flat head style screws (i.e. a screw that
requires a countersunk hole). We recommend stainless steel
fasteners / lock washers (to prevent rusting). Also, residue
from steel drill bits and other non-stainless steel tools may
cause rust stains. Properly clean metal chips, debris etc. prior
to exposing to water.
TIPS FOR DRILLING INTO TILE
• Use carbide tipped masonr y drill on cera
diamond tip drill for porcelain tile.
• If possible, drill a smaller pilot hole first.
• Be careful to prevent the drill from moving when you first
start it rotating - use duct tape or a wood guide on the
surface of the tile to hold the drill from walking sideways.
• A variable speed drill on slow is best to start the hole. Do
not apply too much pressure when drilling. Do not use a
hammer drill.
WATERPROOFING
We recommend that sealant be applied a
contact points for any products mounted in the shower. If not
properly sealed, there is the potential for water to seep into the
wall. This may cause the wood to rot, thus compromising the
structure the support rail is attached to.

MOUNTING LOCATION
Figure 1.
We strongly recommend that you give some thought as
to the optimal location of your Invisia™ Corner Shelf
before installation. The following suggestions are offered
for your consideration, however, it is recommended to
consider advice from the appropriate healthcare
professional for locating any support rail.
To determine the optimal location, we recommend
holding the rail in place and walking through the motions
of a transfer (sitting, standing, reaching, etc.). Consider
the following when determining the optimal mounting
location:
1. Move mounting location to match structure behind
the wall.
2. Avoid electrical / plumbing behind the wall
3. Where possible, drill through tile - not through grout.
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION LOCATION
Corner of Faucet Wall - Typically 36-60" from floor as
shown in Figure 1. If installing multiple Invisia™ Corner
Shelves, ensure space between is adequate to place and
remove items.
INVISIA™ CORNER SHELF INSTALLATION
Place a blanket down in the area that you will be installing
the Invisia™ Corner Shelf to protect the floor from parts
that may fall during installation. The proposed mounting
location must be cleaned prior to installation.
Refer to the fastener chart on page 1 to determine the
size of hole required for the appropriate wall construction.
NOTE: It may occur that one hole may be installed into a
stud, and another installed with SnapToggle® toggle
bolts.

A1. Hold the corner shelf against the walls. Adjust the
corner shelf with a level until it
is straight as shown in
Figure 2b.
A2. Mark the screw hole locations on the wall.
A3. Use the wall plates as a locating guide and notch the
tile with center punch as shown in Figure 3. NOTE: A
light tap is all that is required for punch to make notch.
A4. Use the appropriate drill bit on the notched tile to drill
a pilot hole for the fasteners. If SnapToggle® toggle bolts
are to be used, please see the separate installation
instructions. Continue with step A4.
A5. Fasten the Invisia™ Corner Shelf with the appropriate
fastener for wall construction, lock washer and retaining
washer & waterproof as shown in Figure 4.
NOTE: Perform a final tighten and inspection of all
fasteners. Test the installation by vigorously pulling on
the support handle of the Invisia™ Corner Shelf.
A6. Install the plastic snap caps to the plastic retainer
washers to cover the screws.
A7. Place the tray on top of the Invisia™ Corner Shelf,
pushing it against the corner. Install the
rubber bumpers
on the bottom of the tray, behind the bent metal bar as
indicated by the in Figure 4. These rubber bumpers
will hold the tray in place.

TIPS FOR LOCATING A WOOD STUD
Figure 1.
• For drywall surfaces, use a stud sensor to locate a stud.
• For tile surfaces,
stud is found, measure 16" from a perpendicular wall. Drill
a small hole in the grout to ensure the stud has been
found. If there is no stud at this location, bend a piece of
in a “L” shape and insert it through the hole. Spin the
wire
wire to determine exactly where the stud is located and
mark its location. Patch all holes with silicone to keep
moisture out of the wall.
• If there is access to the backside of the bathroom wall
(i.e. through a closet), measure the stud location and
transfer the measurements into the bath area.
STRUCTURAL REINFORCEMENT SUGGESTIONS
NOTE: Due to variances in local construction methods
and materials used, details given below are suggestions
only. Consult the appropriate local contractor for specific
advice. For concrete walls, you may be able to install
fasteners (such as a wedge anchor) directly into the
concrete wall without modification.
If there is access to
through a closet) and structural reinforcement is required,
consider cutting a hole in this backside wall to allow access
to the bathroom wall from behind (without having to
remove / replace ceramic tiles).
1. Choose optimal mounting location of rail including
height (H) and side to side location (L) as shown in Figure
1. Mark the height and location on the wall for future
reference. NOTE: If accessing the bathroom wall from the
backside, transfer the measurements for the support rail
location to the backside wall as shown in Figure 2.
2. Find wall support studs & cut hole in wall board to
expose wall studs as shown in Figure 2. Suggested hole
size is height (A) of 18-24" (48-61cm) and width (B)
corresponding to wall stud spacing. Expose half width of
each stud to facilitate re-installation of wall board patch.
IMPORTANT: Avoid any utilities located in wall!
3. Fabricate a support frame structure from suitable wood
pieces as shown in Figure 2. Support frame width (D)
should fit snugly within wall studs. Support frame height
(E) should be from 24-32" (61-81cm) high or more,
depending on material and stiffness of wall studs. Locate
top cross member (F) to position in in center of mounting
holes when rail is located at the height (H). Hold the
support rail against the
members are in the correct location. Use a generous
quantity of wood screws and glue to hold the support frame
structure together as shown. See alternative to support
frame as shown in Figure 3.
4. Insert support frame structure through hole in wall and
secure uprights to wall studs using a generous amount of
wood screws.
