Dear Hospitality Professional:

As a seasoned traveler and hotel client, over these last few years, I have seen with increasing frequency, more and more crescent-style shower rods sagging and detaching from the wall anchors. Trying to hold the curtain closed makes showering a difficult, unpleasant experience. Cleaning up the water overflow afterwards just adds to the frustration. I imagine many hotel managers and maintenance engineers are just as aggravated about this problem. Having to constantly try to reattach the rod, or reconstruct the wall support, results in lower rental availability -- which as you know, can be quite costly.

My research has shown that most current wall anchors are ineffective, and with only two small screws, are lacking in proper support. Slick Concepts has developed a new stainless steel bracket that attaches to the existing bracket to provide a four-point attachment with sturdier #10 screws. This Slick bracket is installed in most cases within 30 minutes. Please review the information on our website, and pass this on to your maintenance engineer for their review.

Thank you,
Gerry Silva,
