Today we take a closer look at some of our essential tools for Tilers.

Tile Cutters

Tile cutters are a tiler’s best friend that allows porcelain, ceramic and stone tiles to be cut into precise shapes and forms. They help to ensure your cuts are straight, clean, professionally finished and exactly where you want them.

Manual Tile Cutters: Manual tile cutters are great for straight cuts, utilising a sharp wheel to score the tile's surface and applying pressure on either side of the score, these ingenious tools can create perfectly straight cuts with relative ease. Without the need for electricity and water a manual cutter can be very useful for quick and precise tile-cutting on site.
Electric Wet Saws: When all else fails, bring out the power tools. Electric wet saws allow for much greater versatility in tile cutting and are absolutely necessary for creating angles, curves, and L-shaped cuts to fit tiles around corners, pipes, and fixtures. Wet saws are named so as they use water to cool the blade as it cuts which both allows the blade to last longer and helps to reduce the amount of dust produced in the process.

Tile Nippers

Tile nippers are small but mighty tools that are essential for cutting small sections of tile, most often when creating curves or irregular shapes to fit around pipes and fixtures. A little bit of a mix between pliers and heavy-duty scissors, tile nippers come in different varieties tailored to the efficient cutting of different materials including ceramic, porcelain, glass, and stone.

Tile nippers allow for precision cutting in areas that are too small for larger tile cutters, allowing them to do the intricate work where bigger tools can’t reach. Their smaller cutting surface means they are perfect for delicate working and are most often utilised to shape tiles to fit around pipes, outlets, and other obstacles.

Spirit Levels

Spirit levels are essential to so many jobs and tiling is certainly one of them. Spirit levels help to measure whether a surface is level or plumb by using a bubble suspended in liquid to give an indicator of how truly flat the surface is. It is essential to tiling as the slightest deviation can result in uneven tiles which puts the tiles at risk of cracking and affects not only the structural integrity of the project but its aesthetic quality too.

Tile Spacers

Tile Spacers are small plastic pieces that are inserted between tiles during the installation process to maintain a consistent spacing. This allows for uniform grouting between tiles, which improves the overall quality of the finished look of the tiled surface as well as providing a consistent and even spacing for that professional finish.

Grout Floats

A grout float is what is used to apply grout between tiles once they have been lain into place. Beava’s Grout Floats have a comfortable, ergonomic handle which helps to prevent hand fatigue whilst providing a simple and accurate way of applying grout between tiles.
