When tile fixers hear about the RUBI <\/a>tile cutter<\/strong>, QUALITY is the first word that comes to their mind. But, still many professionals don\u2019t know the history and evolution of this brand that has become the world\u2019s top manufacturer of tile tools.
Cutting and laying ceramic tiles is nothing new, neither were the problems faced by installers\u00a0when they didn’t count on the proper tile cutter<\/strong>\u00a0to achieve an efficient installation.
Back to the mid-20th century, construction professionals had to get very creative to deal with ceramic tiles and usually worked with what they had on hand, mainly chisels, hammers and punches. It was a very hard and painstaking work that took them a lot of time to complete and often ended in broken materials.
Joaquim Aragon\u00e9s, Joan Boada\u2019s father-in-law, was an exceptional tile installer who suffered the consequences of lacking more advanced tools to get the job done fast and efficiently.
Joaquim’s situation was the spark needed to unleash the talent and artistry of the young Joan, who patented the first professional tile cutter<\/strong> in 1951. Soon, the machine would be widely known as the \u201cRUBI mosaic and tile cutter<\/strong>\u201d.<\/p>\n
