Choosing The Right Other Tiling Accessories

Selecting appropriate tiling accessories depends on your specific requirements. Tile marking pencils provide clear, accurate guidelines for cutting and positioning, whilst squeegees are available in various sizes to match your project scale—larger squeegees suit expansive floor areas, whilst compact versions offer control in tight spaces and detailed work.

When choosing notched trowels, consider the tile size and adhesive type you're using. Different notch patterns suit different applications: small notches for wall tiles up to 300mm, medium notches for larger format tiles, and deep notches for heavy-duty floor installations. Margin trowels with soft-grip handles reduce hand fatigue during extended use.

For drilling through ceramic or porcelain tiles, wet diamond tile drilling guides prevent drill bit wandering and cracking, whilst water cooling systems extend drill bit life and ensure cleaner holes. MyToolShed.co.uk offers accessories from established manufacturers known for durability and precision, ensuring your investment delivers reliable performance across multiple projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

What notch size trowel should I use for wall tiles?

For standard wall tiles up to 300mm, a 6mm or 8mm notched trowel provides adequate adhesive coverage. Larger format tiles require deeper notches—typically 10mm or 12mm—to ensure proper adhesive contact and prevent hollow spots beneath the tile.

Why use a drilling guide for tiles?

Tile drilling guides prevent drill bits from skating across the glazed surface, ensuring accurate hole positioning and significantly reducing the risk of cracking expensive tiles. They're especially valuable when drilling through porcelain, which is harder and more prone to chipping than standard ceramic.

Can I use the same squeegee for adhesive and grouting?

Whilst possible, dedicated squeegees for each task perform better. Grout squeegees typically feature softer rubber for forcing grout into joints without scratching, whilst adhesive squeegees may have firmer edges. Keeping separate tools also prevents cross-contamination between materials.
