Shop Set & Install Tile Tools

This is the moment of truth: transferring your careful layout into a permanent, flawless installation. The tools in this category are for the active phase of setting tile, where precision, efficiency, and the right technique come together. Using the correct tools here makes sure each tile is fully supported, perfectly aligned, and locked in with the strength and consistency that defines a superior finish.

About Our Set & Install Tools

The core of this collection is our range of notched trowels, each designed to achieve the correct mortar thickness and coverage for specific tile sizes and types. You will also find important items like tile spacers for maintaining consistent grout lines, rubber mallets for gently seating tiles without damage, and tile pullers for making micro-adjustments without lifting the tile. For larger formats, we offer specialized lifting systems and leveling clip systems that combat lippage and guarantee a perfectly flat surface. Using the correct trowel leads to adequate mortar coverage, which is necessary for preventing hollow spots and future cracks. The wrong trowel can lead to adhesion failure, a problem that is easily avoided with the right tool.

Why Choose Elit Tile

We understand that the setting process is where most installations succeed or fail. We guide you in choosing the correct trowel notch—a necessary detail that leads to 95%+ mortar coverage on the back of each tile. We can explain the mechanics of a leveling system and why it's necessary for large-format porcelain. Come to our Los Angeles or North Hollywood showrooms with your tile selection; we will give you the precise installation tools and techniques required for a result that meets our standards.
