It is suitable for pre-installation layout planning, marking reference points and verifying pattern alignment before adhesive or grout application.

Advantages

This manual tile positioning tool provides a simple mechanical reference that reduces layout errors and helps achieve even tile joints without the need for electronic devices. Its straightforward design makes it quick to use on-site for both small repairs and larger installations. The template supports reproducible results across repeated rows and patterns, which is useful when installing modular or patterned tiles.

Suitable for

• Professional tilers performing wall and floor installations
• DIY users planning layouts and marking tile positions
• Projects requiring consistent joint spacing and repeatable patterns
• Pre-installation layout checks and marking before adhesive application

Key specifications

• Purpose: manual positioning and layout checking for ceramic and porcelain tiles
• Compatibility: suitable for a wide range of tile sizes and formats used in residential and commercial installations
• Material: durable lightweight construction for on-site handling (non-electronic)

• Use area: designed for use on walls and floors prior to fixing

How to use

Place the tile layout template on the substrate where the first tiles will be positioned and align its edges with reference lines or adjacent tiles. Use the template to mark the positions and joint lines on the substrate or on the back of tiles as needed. Move the template along the installation area to repeat the same spacing and pattern; check alignment frequently and adjust reference lines before applying adhesive. The tool is intended for dry layout and marking; final adjustments should be made during the tile fixing and levelling stages.

Usage recommendations

Use the template together with a straightedge and a pencil or marker for accurate marking. Verify tile and substrate flatness before starting, and perform a dry layout across the area to assess cuts and pattern distribution. Clean the template after use and store it flat to preserve accuracy.
