Tile installation requires precision, skill, and the right set of tools. Whether it’s a residential or commercial project, using high-quality tools can make all the difference in achieving a flawless finish. From applying adhesives to levelling tiles and creating even gaps, every stage of the process demands specific equipment. Below is a list of tile installation tools every professional should consider indispensable.
A tile adhesive trowel is fundamental to tile installation. It evenly spreads the adhesive, ensuring a strong bond between the tile and substrate. The notches on the trowel allow for precise application and levelling of adhesive. For smaller tiles, a V-notch trowel (3mm) works best, while square-notch (6mm) and U-notch trowels (12mm) are ideal for larger tiles. Roff’s stainless steel Roff Notch Trowel stands out with its durability and variety of notch sizes, making it a preferred choice for professionals.
Uneven tiles can ruin the aesthetics of any space. A rubber mallet gently adjusts tiles without causing cracks or marks. The Roff Rubber Mallet is lightweight and features a soft rubber head, ensuring damage-free tile levelling. It’s perfect for handling delicate materials like ceramic and vitrified tiles, offering a smooth and professional finish.
Creating even grout lines is critical for both aesthetics and durability. Roff spacers help maintain consistent gaps between tiles, ensuring straight grout lines and a polished look. Available in sizes ranging from 2mm to 6mm, these spacers cater to diverse design requirements. They also simplify future tile replacements without damaging adjacent tiles.
When refreshing old tile surfaces, removing existing grout is a must. The Roff Grout Cutter is an ergonomic tool designed for cleaning and cutting grout lines efficiently. Its angled handle provides superior grip and precision, reducing the risk of tile damage during grout removal. It ensures clean joints that are ready for fresh grout application, rejuvenating tiled surfaces effectively.
To achieve smooth and uniform grout lines, a grout floater is indispensable. The Roff Grout Floater is designed with a pliable pad that pushes grout seamlessly into tile joints without scratching the surface. It ensures minimal material waste and works exceptionally well on glass mosaics.
When it comes to tile installation, quality tools ensure quality results. Roff offers an exceptional range of tools like the Roff Notch Trowel, rubber mallets, and spacers, trusted by professionals across the industry. These tools are designed for efficiency, durability, and precision, making them indispensable for anyone seeking excellence in tile installation.
