I am needing to install several stainless steel bars in an existiing ceramic tile shower. Anyone have any suggestions re: drilling 12+ holes thru ceramic tile and what kind of fasteners to use in this situation w/no blocking, probably installed over “greenboard” and waterproofing this installation?

*Use toggle bolts, they should be plenty strong. I've never had a call back on any I've installed Drill the appropriate size holes with carbide masonry bits and a hammer drill. If the toggle bolt head is exposed on the bar flange, make sure you use stailess steel or brass bolts. John
*Definatly the toggle bolts , and use the good ones not the little wimpy ones
