6. Tile scraper


Tile scrapers are an essential tool on the job site. They are absolutely essential for creating a polished and professional look. The trowel is used to ensure that the mortar spreads evenly and smoothly along the base so that the tiles adhere as evenly and securely as possible. Whether you are installing tiles on walls or floors, make sure you choose the right size trowel to ensure correct coverage every time. The trowel should also be light and sturdy so that the grout mix can be applied effectively without straining your hands or arms.


7. Rubber grouting floats


Grouting is an important part of the installation process as it ensures an even and finished surface. Grout is the material that fills in the spaces between the tiles to secure the gaps and lock them together. The rubber grout float is a strong yet flexible pad that is attached to a C-shaped handle. Different grout floats are available in different thicknesses and hardnesses so you can choose the exact tool for your project.


8. Tile pads


Maintaining straight and even joints between each set of tiles is essential to ensure that your tiles are installed correctly. Tile spacers are an important tool for this step. They allow for correct tile spacing and help with the transition to other tile patterns in areas with different spacing. There is a wide variety of spacers available and they are reusable.

9. Tile mortar mixer


The tile mortar mixer is a tool that serves two important purposes. Firstly, it helps the installer to create the correct mortar consistency for better tile installation. Secondly, it reduces the stress on the hands when mixing the mortar manually. A quality tile mortar mixer will make this part of the job smoother and faster to ensure a stronger bond between the base and the tiles. There are different mortar mixers to choose from, whether you need to mix cement, adhesives, paints, resins, etc.


10. Rubber buckets


An item that is often overlooked before you start a tiling project is the rubber bucket. Rubber buckets are used to mix and transport mortar and they are easier to clean than plastic buckets. Even if the mortar has dried completely inside the bucket, it is still easier to remove from the rubber than other materials. Rubber buckets are also very durable and versatile and can be used repeatedly for different tiling projects.


11. Bubble level


A bubble level is a simple tool used to ensure that the surface is perfectly level. These tools have a small glass bottle in the middle and use a small bubble to show if the level is perfectly balanced. If the surface is level, the bubble will be right in the middle of the vial. The bubble level can be used for floor and wall tile installations.


12. Tape measure


Using a tape measure along with a chalk line will ensure that your tiling measurements are accurate. This tool will help you to create perfect parallel and perpendicular lines. Tape measures come in different types and styles, so make sure the one you choose is large enough for your project. A tape measure that is too short will result in an inaccurate measurement as you will need to mark where it ends and start measuring again from that point.
