In the daily work of tilers, construction professionals, and renovation experts, large amounts of fine dust, debris, and sometimes liquids accumulate. Professional work requires not only the right tools but also a reliable way to dispose of these residues. Dust and wet/dry vacuums from Karl Dahm are designed to clean your construction site efficiently, safely, and in a health-conscious manner – whether for new builds, conversions, or renovations.
Construction dust is more than just annoying – it can harm health, damage tools, and increase work time. Particularly hazardous fine dust like quartz or wood dust must be extracted with powerful systems. Our professional vacuums not only provide strong and consistent suction but are also equipped with automatic filter cleaning for uninterrupted workflow and less cleaning effort.
To ensure safe use of your vacuums, you should know the dust class. The main classes are:
Tip: For daily work on the construction site – especially cutting, sanding, or removing old tiles – at least a Dust Class M vacuum is required to minimize health risks and comply with regulations.
Whether dry construction dust, sanding dust, drilling powder, or spilled water – modern combined wet/dry devices are ideal for craft work. Robust containers, special filter technologies, and smart hose systems allow use even under demanding conditions.
Construction vacuums are classified into dust classes (L, M, H). For tilers, Dust Class M vacuums are particularly important. These devices are approved for medium-hazard dusts, such as those generated when working with tile adhesive, screed, cement, or wood.
A major advantage of modern professional vacuums is automatic filter cleaning, which ensures constant suction, reduces maintenance, and extends the vacuum's service life.
Tilers work with materials like tile adhesive, grout and screed, which generate harmful fine dust. A construction vacuum cleaner with dust class M is the best choice, as it safely filters medium-hazard dusts like quartz dust and meets legal requirements on construction sites. If you frequently work with natural stone or high-quartz materials, upgrading to dust class H is an option. Overall, dust class M for tilers provides the best balance of safety, performance and cost efficiency.
A wet and dry vacuum (wet vacuum) is designed for versatile construction site use. It can extract construction dust, tile slurry, water and other liquids. This makes it ideal for jobs involving wet tile cutters, removing adhesive residue or cleaning up water damage. Thanks to its durable construction, stainless steel container and float switch, a professional wet vacuum for tradespeople is perfect for demanding jobsite conditions.
Many modern industrial vacuum cleaners with automatic filter cleaning (AutoClean) continuously clean the filter during operation. This keeps the suction performance consistently high and reduces the need for frequent filter changes. However, depending on usage intensity, dust type and jobsite conditions, a regular visual check and cleaning is recommended. For heavy use with fine dust or concrete dust, a filter replacement every few weeks or months may be appropriate to maintain optimal suction power and extend equipment life.
Many construction and industrial vacuum cleaners are equipped with a power outlet and automatic start-stop system. Power tools such as grinders, drills, tile cutters or sanders can be connected directly to the vacuum. The vacuum starts automatically when the tool is switched on, ensuring dust-free work compliant with construction safety regulations. This feature saves time, improves air quality and offers maximum convenience on the jobsite or in the workshop.
