Description
Overview
RUBI tile beating block 72980 distributes tapping pressure across ceramic tile during setting. The flat wooden block has a white natural-rubber contact sheet and an ergonomic handle for use with a rubber mallet.
Features
- Water-repellent wood resists moisture and abrasion.
- Flat contact surface helps apply pressure across the tile.
- White natural-rubber sheet on reference 72980 helps protect the tile face.
Specifications
- Reference: 72980
- Approximate dimensions: 16 x 6 in.
- Body: Water-repellent wood
- Contact face: White natural rubber
Applications
Use when bedding and aligning ceramic tile, applying controlled tapping through the block with a rubber mallet. This block spreads contact across the face rather than concentrating the mallet impact at one point.
Selection and Use
- Check the tile position as it is bedded; a flat block does not by itself guarantee mortar coverage or a level substrate.
- Keep the rubber contact face clean to avoid pressing debris against the tile.
