Contour Gauge

Contour Gauge

The Contour Gauge is an efficient and modern tool designed for accurately replicating corners and edges with unique forms such as round, oval, and other specific shapes. In essence, the Contour Gauge allows precise cutting of tiles and ceramics based on the existing contours. This product is available in four sizes: 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm. Moreover, the prongs of the Contour Gauge, produced by the Shimiyeh Betoon Plast Company, are 3 cm longer than similar models, enabling better copying of sections with significant angles or deep deviations.

As evident, in addition to the aesthetics of tiles, ceramics, and grout lines, one of the most important factors in creating a beautiful space with tiles and ceramics on the floor and walls is the quality of tiling work. To this end, new tools for tile and ceramic installation are continuously being developed and introduced to the market. One of the steps in the tiling process involves tiling the corners and edges of a space, which come in various shapes. Dealing with pipes, moldings, or any other obstacles that prevent the use of square or rectangular tiles presents a significant challenge for tilers. In traditional methods, measuring with a ruler and marking the tiles to cut them is the standard process. However, this method works only for 90-degree inside or outside corners or when an angle is involved. When encountering obstacles like moldings, door frames, or plumbing pipes, the ruler method becomes ineffective, and tilers typically resort to manually breaking the tile edges to create the desired shape, often leading to imprecise results and unsightly, irregular tiling that later requires filling with mortar.

Overall, the Contour Gauge is an essential tool for measuring hard-to-reach corners, cutting tiles around pipes of various sizes, and handling angular points. When properly maintained, this tool can serve as a reliable asset for tilers for many years.

Features of the Contour Gauge

• Enhances the quality of tiling work.
• Available in four different sizes.
• Allows copying of sections with significant angles or deep deviations.
• Provides precise cutting for corners of tiles.
• Simplifies measuring corners for tile placement.

How to Use the Contour Gauge

Based on the existing angle or unique shape at the corners, edges, or sections of the work area, position the Contour Gauge against the surface and push the prongs to let the gauge’s blades take the shape of the geometry. Then transfer the contour onto the tile or ceramic and, using a marker, trace the shape formed by the gauge’s prongs. Afterward, use any suitable tile-cutting tool to cut the desired shape, and the tile or ceramic will be perfectly fitted at the desired location.

Usage of the Contour Gauge

With proper care and maintenance, the Contour Gauge can serve as a permanent tool for tilers and professionals, ensuring many years of use.

Packaging of the Contour Gauge

One piece of Contour Gauge is packed in a single plastic bag.
