The latest tiling tools to hit the UK are now available, including Trowels, Nippers, Grout Floats, and Knee Pads. These are the very best in usabililty comfort and early reaction to in-field testing by members of Tile Fourms has shown them to be a leap forward!

I’ve been testing the wall trowel and so far it has been fantanstic. It gives 100% coverage even on large format tiles on walls. I have just done a wetroom and the customer took off the previous tiles to cut down cost. As usual they left most of the adhesive on the wall. I did remove most of it but where it remained this trowel still gave me 100% coverage.
Because of the shape of the ribs the adhesive compresses easier when fixing tiles, so less effort needed and less lipage.

Hi guys,

I have both the grout float and the knee pads from platinum and a large format floor trowel is winging it’s way to me as we speak. I can highly recommend both the grout float and knee pads - and thats after doing a total of 100 sq/m of floors over the last few weeks. Excellent tools and well worth the money!

Has anyone got any feedback on the nippers. I’m thinking they must be quality as well but was wondering how they deal with the internal corners of a key cut. The rounded tips don’t look like they’ll get in there. Any feedback from anyone who has purchased and used the nippers?

Thanks,
AOS

Vitamins, minerals, amino acids antioxidants are an important part of today’s living.

f you have ever found yourself checking the fat content on a carton of yoghurt, or if you have ever left the car in the garage and taken the bike instead then you will be familiar with Solgar’s founding philosophy: Wellness

People everywhere are catching on to this state of mind. They are realising that the insides of their bodies are just as important as their outsides. That physical appearance is only one part of the total picture of health.

Boots Herbal Stores have been serving the people of Staffordshire, naturally for over 60 years, since first opening their store in Merrial Street, Newcastle, in 1939.

In those days, the well-stocked shelves contained inhalants and balsams, pills coated with sugar and rolled in a pill machine, and tinctures made from herbs soaked in alcohol.

Many remedies would be taken home and prepared by elders, well-versed in natural ways of keeping their families fit and able.

Today, backed by a longstanding reputation - the store is a past Realfare ‘Health Food Retailer of the Year’ - and its family-run tradition, Boots Herbal Stores continues to look after the nutritional needs of the people of Staffordshire and beyond.
