Change the way you cut roof tiles with Hytile!
This is a message to all roofers; I want to talk about something you are all too familiar with…Dust!
Yep, we all know cutting tiles all day leaves you covered in dust and it’s not just a problem for your long-suffering washing machines. There is actually another, far more serious by-product of working closely with the dust created from tile cutting, Silica Dust.
These potentially life-threatening particles can be found in the dust clouds that are kicked up from the cutting of roof tiles. Once this is breathed in, the silica dust can become lodged in your lungs and over time cause serious problems which can affect your health, like hindering your body’s ability to maintain a healthy oxygen supply to the body.
And it’s also a very depressing way to start a blog. But don’t worry, because there is a solution, and it’s very simple – just don’t create any dust when you cut tiles! Now, I know what you’re thinking: “This is wild! How on earth can we cut tiles without creating any dust?”
Drumroll please…
Enter the Hytile Tilecutter!
This incredible tool has been the mainstay for the cutting of roof tiles in Australia and New Zealand for over 40 years now, and it’s the Number One choice due to its ability to eliminate dust.
Here at Country Roofing Supplies, we’ve been raving about the Hytile Tilecutter for ages, and we are super privileged to be the exclusive UK supplier of this amazing product.
So, how does it work?
The answer is very simple. Use the handle to move repeatedly along the cut line. The tile cutter creates a groove. When you apply pressure, the tile snaps apart neatly.
You can make cuts at any angle. Skilled tile cutters have achieved results comparable to those made with power tools. Best of all, there is no potentially dangerous dust. Any mess is captured neatly in a trimming tray. You can easily empty it when you finish.
You’re probably wondering how heavy this new kit is and how to get it onto the roof. That is not an issue. This tool weighs about 13 kilograms. One person can easily carry the HyTile from roof to roof.
There are many benefits to this roofing essential. You do not need protective measures or an electrical supply. You also do not need to wear earplugs. This lets you hear others on-site praising your impressive tile cutting machine.
The Hytile Tilecutter has changed the face of tile cutting in New Zealand and Australia, so isn’t it time you experienced it? Drop in at Country Roofing Supplies in Henley-on-Thames to discover more, and you could take on our Hytile Tool challenge!
