Five New Montolit Solutions Designed for Tile Installers’ Everyday Work
From marking a line on a tile to drilling a hole, all the way to working with and handling today’s new ceramic sizes: often, it is the smallest steps that have the greatest impact on precision, timing, and the quality of the final result.
These practical operations are the starting point for the new solutions Montolit is presenting at Cersaie 2026, the International Exhibition of Ceramic Tile and Bathroom Furnishings, taking place September 21–25 at BolognaFiere.
Montolit will be exhibiting in Hall 19 – Booth B45 during the year in which the company is also celebrating its 80th anniversary.
Among the highlights are four tools designed for very different stages of tile installation: GRES LINEA, MINIFLEXITILE, TARGET-TILE, DUAL MINIGECO and AIRMONT. Different solutions, united by a common approach: making professionals’ everyday work simpler, more controlled, and more precise.
GRES LINEA: a precise mark that wipes away without leaving a trace
Measure, mark, cut. Marking may seem like one of the simplest steps in the job, but on modern surfaces, even a line that is difficult to remove can become a problem.
GRES LINEA is Montolit’s new professional marking pen, developed to draw reference lines directly on the tile. The body is made from aerospace-grade aluminum with laser engraving, while the 2.8 mm mine uses a special mineral composition similar to talc. The mark remains clearly visible during the work and can then be wiped away without staining the surface.
The built-in sharpener keeps the mine ready to use and reduces the need to carry separate accessories. The visual identity has also been carefully designed: the colors and packaging echo Masterpiuma P5 ITALICA, creating continuity with the new generation of products developed during Montolit’s 80th-anniversary year.
It is a simple tool built around a very practical need: making precise marks while keeping the work surface clean.
MINIFLEXITILE: precision work in a compact format
Continuous walls, niches, integrated elements, and increasingly hidden details are also changing the type of work required from tile installers.
We explored this trend in greater detail in the article “Working with Porcelain Slabs: the New Frontier for Tile Installers” which looks at the evolution of porcelain tile from a simple wall or floor covering into a material also used for countertops, furnishings, niches, and integrated details. MINIFLEXITILE fits into this context: a new compact power tool designed to work with Montolit’s range of 50 mm and 76 mm mini diamond tools.
Its compact size and balanced design help maintain control during precision work and make it easier to reach areas where space is limited. The rotational speed reaches up to 19,000 rpm, providing the performance needed for cutting, finishing, and working ceramic and stone materials.
MINIFLEXITILE can also be adapted. The included 20 mm spindle allows 50 mm blades to be used correctly, while the different guards are designed for cutting and grinding.
The dual transparent guard also makes it possible to connect the tool to a dust-extraction or water system.
A battery-level indicator, automatic stop system, and overheating sensor complete this compact power tool, designed to give professionals greater control precisely in the applications where detail matters most.
TARGET-TILE: starting in the right spot when drilling a tile
When drilling, the first few moments are often the most critical. On porcelain tile and smooth surfaces, the drill bit can move sideways before it begins to cut into the material, causing the original reference point to be lost.
TARGET-TILE is Montolit’s new drilling guide, designed specifically to make this process more stable. A small suction cup secures the guide to the tile and keeps an accurate reference at the selected drilling point.
The guide is designed for 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12 mm (from 3/16″ to 1/2″) drill bits, and can also assist with larger-diameter holes.
The suction cup is movable and adjustable, which is especially useful when the drilling point is close to an edge or in an area with limited space.
The structure is made from aluminum and stainless steel.
The main advantage is its simplicity: positioning the drill bit more accurately helps reduce corrections and unwanted movement right from the start of the drilling process.
DUAL MINIGECO: two gripping surfaces, one handle
Planks, narrow, and small-format tiles require different gripping points than large slabs. In some cases, a traditional suction cup may simply be too large for the available surface.
DUAL MINIGECO expands Montolit’s range of electric suction cups with a system consisting of a single handle and two interchangeable bases.
– The narrow, elongated pad is designed especially for planks and long, narrow materials
– The round pad is suited to smaller tiles and situations that require a compact, evenly distributed grip.
Both bases use Montolit’s distinctive non-marking red rubber, designed to avoid leaving marks on the material being handled.
Switching from one configuration to the other is quick, and the valve helps ensure correct centering of the pad on the handle.
IP54 protection allows the tool to be used in damp environments, while the maximum rated capacity reaches 60 kg for horizontal handling and 30 kg for vertical handling.
The ability to choose the most suitable base while using the same tool makes DUAL MINIGECO particularly relevant in a market where tile formats and surface geometries continue to diversify.
AIRMONT: professional portable vacuum cleaner
Keeping the work area clean and managing the dust produced during cutting, drilling and dry processing are an important part of professional tile installation.
AIRMONT is Montolit’s professional cordless wet and dry vacuum cleaner, developed particularly for dry work on porcelain tiles. Compact and lightweight, at just 7 kg, it is designed to follow the tile installer throughout the different stages of the job.
Its wheels make it easy to move around the work area, while the practical shoulder strap allows it to be carried when greater freedom of movement is required. The impact-resistant housing is designed for everyday use both on site and in the workshop.
AIRMONT is powered by a removable, rechargeable 20 V battery, allowing the operator to work without relying on a mains power supply. Two suction levels make it possible to adapt performance to the task at hand, while the reversible function allows the unit to switch quickly from vacuum mode to blower mode.
A range of interchangeable attachments extends its versatility and makes it easier to reach specific areas of the workspace. Inside the unit, the HEPA filter helps capture fine dust, including dust containing silica generated when cutting or working ceramic and porcelain. The filter is washable and reusable, simplifying maintenance and extending its service life.
AIRMONT is also designed for wet use and can vacuum liquids as well as dry material. Its 10-litre tank, one of the largest in its category, is combined with an airflow of 2,000 litres per minute, providing strong suction in a compact and easily transportable unit.
AIRMONT brings dust extraction directly alongside the tile installer, reducing the need for bulky equipment and making it easier to keep the working area clean while maintaining freedom of movement.
Cersaie 2026: celebrating 80 years of Montolit
GRES LINEA, MINIFLEXITILE, TARGET-TILE, DUAL MINIGECO and AIRMONT address different moments within the same professional workflow: marking a reference, working the material, starting a hole with greater control, handling formats that require a specific grip and dust control on site. Rather than a collection of isolated new products, they reflect Montolit’s focus on the operations tile installers perform every day.
Montolit’s participation in Cersaie 2026 provides the opportunity to see these solutions in their application context, together with technical demonstrations and the partnership with CLANEA, focused on precision work and integrated systems for tiled surfaces.
The event also takes on special significance as Montolit celebrates its 80th anniversary through the initiative “80 Years of History – Be Part of the Story”: visitors and partners are helping create a commemorative mosaic made from hand signed tiles.
