Hi everyone i need a tool for work but not sure what there called, so ill try to describe best i can, its basically just a long piece of metal like a 4 inch fence slat but in metal, i think there ment for floor screeders but i have no idea what there called and cant find them on the net looking for an exact size 3020mm if its bigger i could just cut it myself.Any help would be much appreciated.

There good for setting out on supermarkets 3020mm is ten tiles plus 2mm joint, just makes it faster someone lays a tile every ten and then someone comes behind filling in the other 9

Ahh so you don't need a feather edge, A straight edge would suffice ? I used to get mine from the guys that build the partition walling inside offices. Failing that a decent metal/Aluminium supplier will sort you out.

I pay about 10 quid a lin.mtr for my edges from local aluminum supplier, box aluminum comes in 5m lengths i get them to cut them 3m & 2m. it's the best way
