Types of metal bars
In the market you will find different types of metal bars that we can classify into different groups, guided by both their fixing system and their finish. Regarding the fixation System two are the alternatives:
- Sticky bars: On the market there are numerous self-adhesive designs that allow you to fix the bars to the wall without having to make any hole in it. They have glues that can hold up to 10 kg .; we can use them to hang wooden cutlery, rags… They cannot be fixed, however, on all surfaces.

- Bolted bars: This type of bars force us to make some holes in the surface but in return they offer us greater resistance. As long as we fix them to a solid and stable surface, we can use it to organize all kinds of utensils. Screws don't always come with the bar; make sure you buy the right hardware.
