The tile cutter is an incredible invention for a tile installer.  It’s a great tool which allows professionals to make cuts without using a water saw.  Ceramic and Porcelain etc, are some of the tiles which we are able to score and cut.  It has a diamond wheel that slides with some pressure scoring the tile allowing you to snap the tile in a straight line.  Tile cutters come in different sizes.

The tile grout float is designed for spreading grout on your tiles.  The best floats have rubber on the flat part.  It’s light and has an easy handle to grip and hold firmly.  You want to hold your float on a fourty-five degree angle when spreading your grout.  This will ensure the grout is spread evenly filling the joints as well.

These trowels come in different sizes, quarter, half inch, three quarters and even one inch.  It is used for spreading your wall glue, floor mix or cement.  Each size is used for different size tiles.  You need to make sure you pick the right one for the size of the tile, or else when spreading your wall glue, floor mix or cement there might not be enough the tiles will fall or crack, or if there is to much behind the tile it will be difficult to level and the job will look very messy. 

Spacers come in different sizes, they are plastic and are reusable.  Spacers allow you to set the tiles as straight as possible.  What I mean by this is, when starting with your first row of tiles you place the spacers in each corner of the tiles.  This allows each joint to be even and neat as you add the next rows.
