Suction cups
Vacuum cups, or suction cups, are one of the most useful and user-friendly tools you can have in your tool bag. When tiling and landscaping, you never know when you may require a suction cup, and you will be surprised at some of the great ways this tool can be used. Maybe you have a large fragile tile to fit or you need that extra reach to fit that awkward corner slab, either way suction cups have got you covered! In this blog post, we dive into the great uses suction cups offer and how they can be used on a daily basis – and the suction cups that we offer here at Tilers Tools.
What are suction cups?
Let’s take a look at what a suction cup does and how it works. Vacuum suction cups are often made with soft rubbers that are impenetrable by air. The suction cups use negative air pressure to attach themselves to a non-porous surface which creates a vacuum, giving you an easy grip on your tile or slab.
What are their uses?
During your landscaping and tiling installations, you will often occur the task of lifting and moving heavy objects into intricate places. This is where the suction cup comes into use. You can use your suction cups to easily move, manage and maintain the position of your tile or slab to allow for easy installation. Our suction cups at Tilers Tools hold up to 130kg+ per cup, depending on the cup you choose. The strength of the suction cups offers assistance to every installation of non-porous stone.
