ᐅ Patio tiles 100x100 cm installed using vacuum method, stains

Created on: 30 Sep 2020 19:04

Hello everyone,

In May, our patio tiles were installed, measuring 100 × 100 cm (40 × 40 inches), with a weight of 112 kilograms (247 pounds) each. Due to the heavy weight, our landscaper used a vacuum lifter.
Now, four months later, some tiles still have stains where the vacuum was applied. Could you please take a look at the pictures and share your thoughts? Do you think this is permanent damage?
That would be very frustrating, as it doesn't look good at all!

Thanks and regards

That does not look like the vacuum suction pad itself, but rather the wetting/fluid used for the suction pad. With the suction pad, the marks would be perfectly circular.
Ask the tile installer about the fluid and use it to clean the entire surface.

And please waterproof it regardless of what they say about it not being necessary.
