A:  These bars mount on walls (tiled or not). Typical tub has two short walls and one long wall. I've mounted these in showers and tubs, even outdoors on porch stairways. Think through how they will be used. Consider products of different lengths. Orientation matters--horizontal or vertical, even diagonal is possible. Local code may specify height above floor, but most important is safety/comfort of user. How will they enter and leave the tub area? Will they be transferring while standing or pulling selves up from tub? Be sure to avoid water lines or electrical cables behind wall.
