I tend to use epoxy floats cos they are solid and get into corners well but not sure if i can buy the one i use now it's an old Bal blue float had a box of then down to last one so will be sad when it becomes useless.

I get mine here:

Ceramic Tiling Tools, Raimondi Tools UK & Ireland

mention to them that Joe(Hillhead Tiling) sent you..... i know these guys well.

thank JOE i'll meantion you, i see thea my berta machine seem's to have gone up in price by £300 great bit of kit

have a Rubi one but have always used Marshalltown get mine from trimline

perfect timing on your thread mate
i'm on the look out for a new float also

Raimondi for me too, lovely to use and detatchable rubbers mean i can use one for black grouts and another for white etc. Been using them for years and no reason to change.

marshaltown for me , raimondi wash boy sponges are the best for washing off. just bought the pedalo wash boy has we have loads of large floors to do

B&Q on a wednesday with pensioners discount £5 - same as marshalltown!

i actually quite like the b@q floats also, they are a nice size not too big and if looked after they last a fair amount of time so work out better value than the marshallton's

Yep, Raimondi for me, too

I only use epoxy ones too, last much longer.

yes i bought 4 ramondi on line , i love the soft ones then just bin them when old also just bought two new straight edges one for screeding and one for ruling off h section from refina two calme down gooner this buying on line is to easy

Wots wrong with the good old finger grouting.

Ramondi for me also

Dave, I mostly buy Barwalt floats, they seem to hold up well.

Nope not at all.

yeah marshalltown is more comphy but wont last as long as the raimondi wait and see maybe once i have used it a few times it will be better

tileasy ones for me.

as a thought raimondi float far too hard there no gum or sponge between the rubber and plastic float itself where as the marshalltown float is more lighter and not so hard on the wrist

Marshalltown for me.

Raimondi Blue rubber and green for polished tiles.
These are so good I sometimes don't even need my washboy!

Marshalltown i like the best , then rubi

raimondi for me qwick split

finger grout gives you cement burnssss

use these quite good GS-PRGB.jpg

I bought some more raimondi ones today, great price too.
Wedges too and more bits and pieces.
I also seen the raimondi floor wedge( lash clips) system. Very strong and from what the guy told me there has been great feedback on them locally, big stone tiles especially.
