Floor & Decor stocks the Raimondi® lineup of professional tile installation tools
Engineered in Italy for the demands of daily PRO work. From the exclusive original Raimondi® Levelling System to pro-grade hand tools, precision power cutters, and a dedicated Large Format Tile (LFT) sub-line, Raimondi delivers the tool quality that separates a one-time job from a ten-year finish. Across their lineup, Raimondi covers the full installer workflow from layout to grout.
The RLS system is Raimondi's flagship: a disposable leveling clip, reusable wedge, and specialty pliers that pull adjacent tiles into the same plane before the thinset cures. The plastic composition is tested for elasticity and resistance, so clips break cleanly at the tile surface without chipping edges. Floor & Decor stocks the HD Level System Kit as a ready-to-work bundle, plus high-volume bulk clip packs for larger jobs. For installers setting large-format porcelain, marble, or stone, RLS eliminates lippage at the source, the single most common callback on large-format installations.
The Large Format Tile lineup sets Raimondi apart in North America. The XL Large Format Tile Workbench, EasyMove Slab Transport, LFT Cart, Fido Tile Support Handle, UP! Tile Working Pad, Tile Beating Block, and suction cups are engineered to move, stage, and set tiles that one installer cannot safely handle alone. Pair them with the Raizor Rail Cutter for long score-and-snap cuts or the Power Raizor Angle Cutter and Power Miter Cutter for motorized precision, and the full LFT workflow lives in one brand.
Grout floats, trowels, and the Pro Grade Grout Float with its anti-abrasion dual-profile rubber round out the hand-tool side of the line. Every Raimondi tool is made in Italy, engineered for outstanding performance, reliability, and long-lasting durability. Unlike traditional retail, Floor & Decor sources directly from manufacturers,With in-stock inventory at your local store and bulk packs on RLS clips, you can spec the tool and the consumables for a full project in a single checkout. Whether you're setting 12 x 24 porcelain in a master bath or a 48 x 48 large-format slab across a 3,000-square-foot PRO installation, the Raimondi lineup covers the job.
FAQs
What tools does Raimondi make?
Raimondi is an Italian manufacturer of professional tile installation tools, specializing in grout floats, notch trowels, spacers, the RLS tile leveling system, power and manual tile cutters, and a dedicated Large Format Tile (LFT) handling lineup. Every tool is engineered for the demands of daily PRO use on tile, porcelain, and stone installations.
Are Raimondi tile tools worth the cost?
Raimondi tools are built for installers who set tile every day, with anti-abrasion rubber on grout floats, stainless steel on trowels, and premium tested plastics on the RLS leveling system. Unlike traditional retail, Floor & Decor sources directly from manufacturers, making PRO-grade Italian tools accessible without a specialty-distributor markup.
How does the Raimondi RLS tile leveling system work?
The Raimondi RLS system uses a disposable leveling clip, a reusable wedge, and installation pliers to pull adjacent tiles into the same plane before the thinset cures. That eliminates lippage, prevents settling, and is standard practice for large-format porcelain and stone where even slight height differences show.
What thickness of tile does the Raimondi RLS leveling system work with?
The standard Raimondi RLS kit handles common tile thicknesses, and the HD (Heavy Duty) system extends to thicker large-format porcelain. Match the clip joint size (1/16 inch is the most common at Floor & Decor) to the grout joint width you plan to set for the finished installation.
Raimondi vs. other tile leveling systems: what's the difference?
Raimondi RLS is the original Italian-made tile leveling system, with plastic composition tested for elasticity and resistance. The anti-abrasion rubber on Raimondi grout floats and the slanted notch on Raimondi trowels also improve adhesive coverage on large-format tile, where coverage percentages are critical for long-term performance and adhesion.
Can Raimondi leveling clips be reused?
No. The leveling clip is designed to break away at the tile surface after the thinset cures, leaving the grout joint clean. Only the wedge is reusable across tiles. Buy clips in bulk packs sized to the square footage of the job; Floor & Decor stocks HD clip packs to match job size.
What tile cutters does Raimondi make?
Raimondi offers manual rail cutters and power cutters for tile work. The Raizor Rail Cutter handles score-and-snap cuts on large-format porcelain, while the Power Raizor Angle Cutter and Power Miter Cutter deliver motorized precision for angles and miters on porcelain, ceramic, and stone.
What is the Raimondi LFT (Large Format Tile) lineup?
Raimondi's LFT lineup handles tile formats that one installer cannot safely move alone. It includes the LFT Cart, XL Large Format Tile Workbench, EasyMove Slab Transport, Fido Tile Support Handle, UP! Tile Working Pad, Tile Beating Block, and suction cups engineered for large-format porcelain and stone slabs.
