At KARL DAHM you will find suitable dust protection products and tools that are extremely helpful and practical.
Many tiling jobs generate dust. Either fine sanding dust or coarse dust when removing old tiles or floor coverings. The finer the dust, the better it spreads in the room and also in the air you breathe. The fine dust particles can become lodged in your airways and cause long-term damage to your health. Respiratory diseases such as asthma are the result. Added to this is the high cleaning effort required to remove the fine dust.
Dust protection measures that you should take right at the start of your work can effectively prevent the formation or spread of dust. You not only protect your respiratory tract, but also save time when cleaning at the end.
There are many inexpensive and effective products for dust protection on your construction site. Simply using extraction devices for your cutting and sanding tools reduces dust generation by up to 80 %. Extraction devices are attached directly to the tool and the dust is extracted as it is generated. The extraction aids are usually compatible with several machines and can therefore be used on a daily basis.
Here you will find extraction bonnets for angle grinders and concrete grinders
To prevent dust from spreading into other, inhabited rooms, so-called dust protection doors or dust locks are ideal. Our item 11727 is a cost-effective dust protection door that is universally suitable for any door up to 2.20 m high and 1.10 m wide and can be easily attached with masking tape. Thanks to the practical zip, you can access the other room quickly and easily without having to remove the dust protection door.
To be able to vacuum the dust thoroughly as soon as it is created, you should use the right hoover. Appliances for normal household use are not recommended here, as they are usually not suitable for continuous operation and fine dust is not sufficiently retained by standard household hoovers. In addition, these hoovers have a smaller capacity. You would therefore have to constantly change the bag.
It's better to make a one-off investment in a professional construction site vacuum cleaner that will stand by your side for many years to come.
Construction site hoovers have special filters that capture the fine dust and leave behind clean air. They are robust, powerful vacuum cleaners and have a larger capacity. And when things get rough on the construction site, they can easily take a knock or two.
For drilling holes, there are special drilling aids with integrated dust extraction, which generate a vacuum when the hoover is switched on and thus fix themselves automatically to the wall. This means you can work virtually dust-free and have both hands free. Our "Dust-Butler" is a real innovation in dust extraction aids.
You should also consider personal protection against dust and injuries. With the right protective equipment, you can prevent injuries and long-term illnesses caused by dust exposure.
The standard protective equipment of a tradesman or tiler includes knee pads, safety goggles, work gloves, a respirator mask and hearing protection. The right work clothing is also important for a safe and professional appearance. You will find all the essential products for your equipment in our "Workwear and work safety" section.
