Tile Tools for Cutting, Installing, and Finishing Tile and Stone

A tile job moves through distinct stages. This page covers the tools for each one. Cutting and shaping comes first. Tile saws and manual cutters handle straight cuts. Diamond blades and hole saws cut tile, porcelain, and glass. Profile wheels and dressing stones finish an edge.

Installation comes next. Waterproofing and uncoupling membranes go down before the tile does. Thinsets and mortars set the tile in place. Leveling systems keep it flush. Shower pans, curbs, and niches round out a full shower build.

Finishing work closes out the job. Grout, grout floats, and grout cleaning systems handle the joints. Sealers and enhancers protect the finished surface once it's set. Layout tools, marking tools, and spacers run through the whole process rather than belonging to one stage. They keep cuts and joints consistent from the first tile to the last.

This page also covers the practical side of the job. Knee pads and rolling knee pads add comfort. Material handling equipment moves heavy slabs and boxes. Mixing stations and handheld mixers prep thinset and mortar in volume.

Schluter Systems, Laticrete, and Raimondi anchor a large share of this page. They cover waterproofing systems, mortars, and leveling systems respectively. Rubi Tools, Montolit, and IQ Power Tools cover a wide range of saws and cutters. BIHUI, Cortag, Barwalt, and Alpha Tools add more leveling systems, layout tools, and cutting accessories. Hundreds of additional brands round out everything from adhesives to shower drains to polishing pads.
