Does this suction cup work on unfinished unpolished tile?

Don't know. Am using it with a smooth tile surround. Suction area is about 1 1/2 ".

My tile is smooth but not perfectly flat, it has small, smooth bumps on it, but the "suction cup" is not like a normal suction cup, it has a large, flat, relatively soft surface that covers a pretty big surface area, and I think that's why it works so well. I think it should work on most any glazed tile.

I would think it would not. A surface must be smooth. I would suggest one that is glued or screwed to the surface. Mine is mounted to a smooth fiberglass surface

I only used it on painted drywall. It works well until there's too much moisture on the wall.

The one I received does NOT have suction cups. That does mean it can swing around if it is very unbalanced. Not a deal-breaker for me, but definitely a flaw.

No it will not work. Of course it depends on the tile. But if it is a ceramic tile or a marble with a slick smooth surface it will actually just wipe off like using a crayola marker. It would need some texture or some sort of porous surface.

As long as you have a smooth glass surface on which to stick all three suction cups, it should work! Mine's been up for months, and I haven't touched the suction cups since I put it up. It's holding well!

I have'nt used the disk myself. The suction cup works well on my textured dash. The adhesive backing on the disk I suspect is harmless. AnyResidue can be removed with mineral spirits. I purchased the Arkon # mg279.

If the tile has a smooth glass-like surface, yes. It will not work on textured tile.

Under 3 conditions 1. The tiles should have flat and smooth surface. 2. The tile size should big enough for the whole suction cup. 3. Be careful, it won't stay on the tile (suction power) as long as on the mirror or glass.

I have never tried but assume so. It should work assuming the tile is not porous - to permit proper suction, and large enough - so the suction cups do not align with grout seams.

The surface must not be textured. I've used mine on tiles where the two contact areas don't exactly make it all the way onto tile without hitting some part of the grout and it still works. I imagine it should work on glass surfaces (although, why would you risk that) and other surface that are smooth. You can always send it back it if doesn't work.

No, I attached it to cultured marble, very slick. That's the key - slick like glass. The suction only works if there is noway for air to get behind.

Sorry, I can't answer that question. I have never used the suction cup. I bought the kit to replace another part that failed.

Sorry I wasn't clearer. There is a thin metallic sheet that is backed with plastic. I can't tell if it is actually metal or just a metallic-looking plastic. It is VERY lightweight, so if suction cups work at your gym, you should be good. They don't work on our tile, so my husband put it up more permanently.

Suction cups mostly only work on smooth, hard surfaces: e.g. marble, mirrors, metal, glass, tiles (without the disturbance of the grout lines), etc. I don't believe wallpapered walls would work. If it does, not well.

It sure does. Like most products like this, you have to wet the suction cups. It works great.

The suction cup doesn't work on my tile wall. However, the shower caddy is so excellent, it stays in place without it. It's a good tight fit at the top where it goes around the shower pipe and that keeps it in place. I really like mine and it is the first one that I have used that continued to look absolutely new month after month.

Yes it it. However, the surface should be smooth since the mount mechanism is via suction. Alternative you can also use the universal adhesive mount VCT-AM1. Works on any flat surface. -Ely

I do not have a reason to use on tiles, so not able to answer your question with certainty. I see no reason why not. It works great on glass.
