Request informationFrequently asked questions: Equipment for Wall Tiling and Cladding Fitters
Which tile hole cutter should I choose for making holes in tiles?
The tile hole cutter for holes from 23 to 94 mm covers a range of diameters, useful for pipes, sockets and openings. Choose the diameter according to the pipe or socket to be fitted. Use water to cool the bit and work at low speed, so as to avoid breaking the edge.
Which bits should I choose for drilling porcelain and glass?
Porcelain drill bits and diamond cutters work on ceramic and porcelain when a precise hole is needed. The sets of glass and ceramic drill bits cover different diameters for small holes. The choice depends on the material and the diameter required, and diamond bits must be used with water.
Which utility knife should I choose for cutting thin tiles or slabs?
Professional utility knives and those with a metal body are used to score and snap thin materials, such as plasterboard and slabs. Stainless steel utility knives offer a body that resists moisture. Change the blade often to get clean cuts with less effort.
Which stair nosings should I choose for tiling stairs?
Galvanised steel stair nosings for risers and treads are applied to the edge of the steps to protect and finish the edge. Choose the size according to the depth of the tread and the width of the riser. Fix them with adhesive or screws depending on the substrate and check that the edge stays aligned.
What is a tiler's chisel used for?
The tiler's chisel is used to remove old coverings, fillers and small parts of masonry before new laying. Strike it with a hammer of suitable weight, without forcing it. Work wearing glasses that comply with EN 166, because fragments can fly off.
How do you get a clean cut on wall tiling?
The manual tile cutter, the utility knife and the HM knife cover most cuts on wall coverings. For tiles the cut is made with the wheel, for thin slabs with the utility knife. Cut with a single clean pass and repeat only if necessary, to avoid broken edges.
Which spacers and trims do I need for wall tiling?
Spacers for slabs and tiles keep the joint constant between pieces, while trims protect exposed corners. Choose the size of the spacer according to the desired joint and the size of the tile. Check that the laying stays square as you progress.
Who uses these tools and for what jobs?
They are used by wall covering installers for walls, bathrooms and kitchens, in both renovations and new builds. The installer uses them for cutting, drilling and sealing tiles and slabs. The choice of tools changes with the material, whether ceramic, porcelain or slabs.
