Finding tiles that are just right, can be a long drawn-out affair, and that’s why there are a number of Tile Shops to help guide you.

Recently we visited Mattonella Tile Studio, in Stone, Staffordshire. This outfit, on the edge of Stone and close to the main roads and very easy to find. We were greeted in a very friendly, non pressured, manner by Darren, the owner. He’s very knowledgable and, this where the difference comes in, he’s very interested and passionate about tiles. Nothing was too much trouble, and even our perhaps basic questions were thoroughly explained and guidance given, where we asked for it.

We have been to big tile chains, and the difference is striking – a lot don’t care. Their staff are their just to do their 9-5 shift and not interested in tiles, they are just there to guide you to the right aisle. Mattonellla on the other hand, know their stuff inside out and it comes across that they love talking about it too.

Some of their tiles include Villeroy & Boch tiles, swimming pool tiles, quartz tiles, Ceramica Sant’Agostino and more.

It’s hard to find decent information all collated together about tiling tools. Who wants to spend hours searching for descriptions, pictures, specifications, videos, testimonials? That’s why we’ve formed another, Ceramic Tiling Tools USA. We are sure this will be just as successful as our UK one which simply blew us away with the number of visitors using the site.

We’ve begun researching the USA market for their favorite tools. It won’t be long before it’s got a good range of products in there!

So why not find some good info right now -> Tiling Tools USA

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 Forums 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
