Stoke-on-Trent, England, March 15-- Tools4Tilers is launching an exclusive drill guide that avoids the age-old problem of drilling into ceramic tiles, and hard surfaces without causing unwanted damage, such as ugly scratches.
Aimed at professional tradespersons and DIY-ers who want to fix bathroom cabinets, toilet roll holders, mirrors and a myriad of other household items, the PITT drill guide features a specially designed pad that bonds to both itself and the target area, meaning a neat, perfectly centred hole can be defined. Using a standard drilling machine, the user can then drill the hole to the required depth without any risk of slippage or damage to the surface.
The drill guide is fully patented and is entirely new to the UK market. It is the result of eight years’ research and development within the professional ceramic tiling industry. It meets UK safety regulations and has been approved by the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (ROSPA). In 2001, it received a DIY Industry Awards Celebrating Excellence Certificate for its ability to avoid damage to surfaces and people.
Available only through http://www.tools4tilers.co.uk, the drill guide costs 6.50 GBP if bought individually. Traders, retailers and distributors can call 01782 341 700 to obtain bulk discount prices.
Paul Riley, managing director of Tools4Tilers, comments: "I’ve worked as a ceramic tiler for over 30 years. Some eight years ago, a friend who’s also a tiler told me he had dreamt how to drill into ceramic tiles without damaging the surrounding area. At first, I thought he was kidding – then I realised it was a feasible product idea. We had a prototype made and joined forces to take it to market. We believe the resulting drill guide will have a significant impact on the tiling and DIY industries."
