Gauged Porcelain Tile Panel Solutions

Pro Tip: Use suction cups to move, place, and adjust tiles, rather than dragging them into place, and a Tile Beater Block to eliminate trapped air bubbles between the tile and adhesive.

Go Big!

Professional tile installers know that large format tile has been a steady trend for some years now – and QEP® is ahead of the game offering a state-of-the-art gauged porcelain tile panel system: GPTP Solutions™, a series of specialized tools designed to handle, cut, move, and install large-format, thin porcelain panels.

This product series includes a GPTP™ Rail Cutting System, Folding Work Table, Carrying System, Transport Cart, and a Vibrating Suction Cup – all essential tools to ensure precise cuts, safe handling, and efficient installation. 

These tools are engineered to support the added weight and larger format tile panels, ensuring precise cuts, safe handling, and simplifying installation while delivering professional-grade results. Every tool in this system is essential because large-format panels require precise handling to prevent cracking and ensure a seamless, flat, professional finish.

It is important to note that in most cases the surface to receive large format tile, whether wall or floor, will require prep work, that these panels usually require a minimum of a three-man crew for handling and installation of the panels – and that using the right trowels is critical to achieve professional results. 

Specialized trowels, like the slant notch towels, as well as specialized tools like the Tile Beater Block designed to eliminate air bubbles trapped between the tile and adhesive are a must if you are aiming for a successful installation. QEP’s Tile Leveling Systems can also make a big difference in the results. These include LASH XL, the original LASH® Tile Leveling System, and LASH® 360 Tile Leveling System, all two-part systems designed to eliminate uneven tiles.  

For the Pros, gauged porcelain tile panels and slabs are all the trend now.

And for the Pros, QEP’s GPTP Solutions™ is the way to go BIG.
