RUBI TS-50 PLUS
First and foremost you will need a manual tile cutter. For ceramic floor and wall tiles and most porcelain will be much faster and of better finish than any electric tile cutter
The TS-50 PLUS is an ideal tile cutter that will cope with most tiles you will come across on a daily basis. It has become more popular than the smaller TS-40 which used to be the best seller. Tile sizes are increasing all the time and the TS-40 can't cut a standard floor tile 330 mm x 330 mm diagonally. The TS-50 PLUS can cut up to a 400mm x 400mm tile diagonally. The TS-50 PLUS is not so big that it becomes cumbersome which the larger TS-60 and TS-70 can be.
Straight cutting length of 570mm.
Comes with a fully adjustable lateral stop system for repetitive cuts of exactly the same size. Also supplied with a robust carrying case and 1 x 6 mm wheel and 1 x 10 mm scoring wheels (should last many months under normal use).
Click for replacement wheels

Super Hydro Tilers Sponge
A sponge is a tool to a tiler!
Used to clean as you go by removing surplus adhesive and also of course mainly for removing grout to finish
Others sell hydro sponges but not like these. Specially imported from Switzerland
I personally tested dozens of different sponges that various suppliers told me "This is the one you want" ..............Eventually I found the best
Super absorbent pores - clean off more grout with fewer rinses.
Incredibly hard wearing - needs replacing far less often.

Washboy
Made by 'Karl Dahm' Germany
If you have never used one of these, you are wasting hundreds of hours a year grouting the old fashioned way. This system has totally revolutionised grout finishing. First of all there is no more getting your hands wet and wrinkly wringing out sponges. Then there is the increased speed at which you work followed by the near perfect clean finish, even on quarry floor tiles. Not to mention the fullness of joint easily achieved. This system can pay for itself in the time saved over a couple of weeks and your customers will be impressed by the cleanness of your finish.There are plenty of washboys available but I have found this Karl Dahm washboy to be by far the best. With sealed ball bearing rollers that last for years and years and a really heavy duty galvanised metal grid to separate the sediment from the water.
If you wash the sponge out after use with clean water and store it without getting squashed when wet, it should be good for over 1000 square metres
weight 4.0 Kg
Supplied with 2 sponges on handles, metal grid and ball brearing sponge rollers
