I have shower tiles measuring 3 by 5 inches. Will this work on tiles that size? I fear that this will grab over the grout with no suction?

I use these on glass blocks which are smooth on the surface and they hold great. On 3 by 5 tile I guess it would depend on how smooth the tile is and what size you order to span the grout. I am trying to order one more for safety reasons.

I'm going to let you do the calculations. Get out your compass and ruler. The suction cups are 3¾" in diameter. The distance between the cups is 4¼".My tiles are 4¼" square and the cups overlap the grout a teeny bit, but the suction holds pretty well. This current handle seems to grab much better than thosefrom years ago, so I think it would be worth a try.

I believe you are correct in thinking it will grab over the grout. The suction would prove not to be perfect.

The suction cups are 4 X 4 inches. It'll probably be over the grout and they suction will not work.

I was worried about that too. My tiles are four inch squares. I ordered one of these and the fit was not exact - the edge of each suction cup is about a quarter inch over the edge of the tile. But it works. The grip is very strong; maybe every few weeks I have to reseal one of the cups, which is simple and quick to do. I ended up ordering three more of these.

You can try placing each end on a different tile with the grout in the middle but it won't hold long enough for you to get through the shower anyway probably. It doesn't stay on any wall long enough to do any good.

The answer lies in what size frame do you have. Tiles need to fit the frame. If you already have the frame measure the height of it and order that size tile. It should tell you if it will hold a 5 inch tile.

Yes, it should work fine. Right now I use it on a rug with another rug on top and that has worked. It will work even better on your bathroom tile.

The circumference of each suction cup is approximately 3 1/2". The whole unit is approximately 12 1/2" from top to bottom. Applying those measurements to your tiles should give you your answer. (As a safety precaution I test the suction every time before I use it.)

The handle isn't overly strong, so I think you'd be best with a short brush where you could exert some force to clean floor grout and tiles.

Hi Shirley. The suction cup measures 3 and 3/4 inches wide. They are so solid, perhaps mounting it on the inside of the tub would work? Just above the water? Good luck!!!

Yes, it should fit as it measures 3 inches across the top where it hooks onto the shower door. And with the suction cups provided, for the bottom, it should not be wobbly.

I don't know, but I doubt it. If the rubber suction cup is clean and not damaged, and if the surface is REALLY smooth, and if (on tiles) the cup is not too close to the grout line, the suction could hold for months. Thing is there are too many ifs to rely on if safety is the issue.

I would not use it on a shower floor with four inch tiles because the surface it adheres to should be smooth.

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.

We used ours on a fiberglass tub wall, so there is really no tile size the suction cups are about three inches. Hope this helps.

I put mine over my shower. It fit but wouldn't stay if a lot of weight was on it

Hi L. Randall,Tile seemed OK because of the shallow depth of grout lines, but this all depends on your expectations. It did not have enough suction to get between wood slats for instance, and it did not have enough suction to pick up little bits of cat food on my tile floor. Seriously, it would suck up (1) piece of cat food, then I would move to a different area and it would fall out, clearly indicating it could not take up (1) little piece of cat food, I tested this several times and verified power. For a product that explicitly has the word "Pet" in it, should deliver and I am sorry my friend, this does not. I am now believing a vacuum cleaner MUST BE plugged in for adequate performance. Hope that helps. Hi L. Randall,Tile seemed OK because of the shallow depth of grout lines, but this all depends on your expectations.

It works very well over grout but the most important think to do is to make sure the grout and tile are very clean. Clean it with steel wool and tsp rinse with clean water each time and repeat 2 more times Good luck!

I have never tried it on tiles but I think it would do a good job. A little expensive for the bathroom I think!

Sorry, Not sure, always take showers. This mat is so sticky I doubt it would matter. When I turn on shower the water hits the outer edge of mat & it's never moved an inch!

The grip is 16 inches long. I have mine on a flat surface, but it should work fine on 4" tiles unless your grouting between the tiles is really thick. I would recommend trying it. I have been very pleased with the two I have in my shower!
