Raimondi tile tools: precision for the tile setter | Saniso

Raimondi tile tools: why choose this brand?

Tile setters choose Raimondi for tile tools that deliver precision: levelling systems, tile cutters, trowels and handling equipment for flat floors and even joints, including large-format tiles. Below we explain what Raimondi is, its history and why professionals use it.

Raimondi (officially Raimondi S.p.A.) makes professional tile and stone-setting tools and machines for the tile setter. The company is based in Modena, Italy. Saniso B.V. in Zwaag sells the Raimondi brand as a wholesaler and webshop. Note that Raimondi S.p.A. should not be confused with other brands that use “Raimondi” in their name.

What is Raimondi?

Raimondi S.p.A. develops and manufactures tools and machines for tiling: cutting, levelling, mixing, grouting, handling large formats and floor preparation. According to the company, production runs from two sites in Modena, with about 13,000 m² of facilities.

The brand is known mainly for systems that support a cleaner finish, higher productivity and less fatigue on site — for commercial work and residential projects. This post is an introduction to the brand, not a product catalogue.

Brief history

The company was founded in 1974 as Raimondi Mirco S.n.c. by Mirco Raimondi. The family had worked in tiling since the early twentieth century; that background shaped its own tool line. Later came the legal forms S.r.l. (1984) and S.p.A. (2003).

A notable moment in the brand’s history is the presentation of the Raimondi Levelling System (R.L.S.) at Cersaie in 2009, aimed at lippage on large-format tiles. In 2013 Raimondi became one of the founding technical partners of Assoposa (alongside Fila, Mapei and Schlüter, among others) — a technical partnership, not ownership of that organisation.

Why use Raimondi?

You choose Raimondi for tiling when you want tools that help with straight lines, even joints and large formats. The brand is closely linked to the Raimondi Levelling System (R.L.S.): aids that help keep tiles on one plane while the adhesive cures.

Later developments in that line, such as RLS VITE and RLS 3D, build on that idea. There are also solutions for large-format tiles — including RAIZOR / POWER RAIZOR (cutting), BM180 PLUS (workbench), LEVTOP PLUS (aligning worktops and furniture elements) and suction cups such as RV BATTERY+ — to cut, position or move large slabs.

The focus is professional, repeatable work: less readjusting, less risk of height differences, more control over the result.

Who is Raimondi for?

Raimondi targets tile setters and installers who lay tiles in commercial and residential work. That may be a floor tiler doing bathrooms every week, a team on a commercial project, or a specialist in large-format tiles for walls and floors.

Contractors who subcontract tiling or work on site themselves also find a consistent line here for cutting, levelling, mixing and finishing. Anyone doing one small job occasionally falls outside the primary audience of this overview — though individual aids can still be useful.

What tile tools does Raimondi offer?

The range covers the main steps of a tiling job. Selective, for orientation:

• Levelling system (R.L.S.) — tiles on one plane while the adhesive cures; evolutions such as RLS VITE and RLS 3D where relevant.
• Tools for large-format tiles — including RAIZOR / POWER RAIZOR (cutting), BM180 PLUS (workbench), LEVTOP PLUS (aligning worktops/furniture elements) and suction cups (including RV BATTERY+).
• Manual tile cutters — straight cuts on site without reaching for a saw machine straight away.
• Saw machines — when wet or dry cutting is needed for thicker or harder materials.
• Mixers — even adhesive or grout mortar, ready to use.
• Spacers — even joint width between tiles.
• Grouting and adhesive tools — spatulas, floats and other aids for applying and finishing.
• Diamond wheels and blades — cutting and grinding stone-like materials.
• Floor preparation — making the substrate flat and ready for bonding.

Not every job needs everything. A bathroom renovation with standard tiles often needs cutting, levelling and grouting; a large-format project usually starts with lifting, positioning and a solid levelling system.

Frequently asked questions

Is Raimondi only for professional tile setters?

Raimondi positions itself as professional tools and machines for tile setters and installers, for commercial and residential work. The core is tradespeople on site. Anyone doing one small job occasionally may be fine with simpler aids.

What is the difference between a levelling system and spacers?

Spacers mainly set the joint width between tiles. A levelling system (such as R.L.S.) helps keep tiles at one height while the adhesive cures. Many professionals use both.

Do I need separate tools for large-format tiles?

Large tiles are heavier and more prone to flex and breakage. Raimondi therefore offers dedicated aids for large format — cutting, positioning, lifting — alongside levelling. Whether you need them depends on tile size, thickness and how you work.
