Key specifications

• Template span: 250 mm
• Function: tracing and transferring irregular shapes and contours
• Intended materials: tiles (ceramic, porcelain, stone) and similar flat surfaces
• Design: lightweight, handheld template for manual positioning

How to use

Place the tile marking template against the surface to be traced and align it with the edge or reference point on the tile. Hold the template steady and run a pencil or marker along the contour to transfer the required profile onto the tile. If marking around a pipe or fixture, ensure the template follows the object’s contour closely and recheck alignment before marking. After marking, use the transferred line as a guide for cutting with an appropriate tile cutter or wet saw.

Usage recommendations

For best results, use a fine pencil or non-permanent marker for tracing and verify the transferred outline against the object before cutting. Keep the template clean of adhesive or grout residue and store it flat to maintain accurate shape. When tracing on very hard or textured stone, take extra care to hold the template steady to avoid shifted lines.
