A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

A cutting and laying aid for cutting and laying floorboards of a floor covering includes floorboards in a herringbone pattern. The cutting and laying aid is a flat body having a flat body length and a flat body width. A method for cutting and laying floorboards when laying them in a herringbone pattern and a use of a cutting and laying aid are also related.

The dimensions of the cutting and laying aid partially correspond to the characteristic dimensions of the floorboards or of the laying pattern. With these dimensions, the periodicity of the laying pattern is exploited to shorten the floorboards in the region of the laying area boundary to the required lengths or cut them to length. Contours of a laying area boundary, particularly a laying area edge, are transferred onto floorboards while saving a considerable amount of time and making the floorboard cutting of more precise and easier.

The “Tile Installation Template” provides a total room accurate tile layout in a matter of minutes. The “Template” is a thin sheet of bendable plastic that has colored grout lines imprinted upon it for placement of tiles. The invention is used for installing ceramic tiles and provides tile cut measurements to guarantee an accurate centered layout. The Template has checker board type lines printed thereon. The lines are configured to replicate actual size of tiles and width of grout areas. The lines also contain ruler measurements to provide tile cut sizes. The Template is laid on the floor, centered and trimmed so each end across from the other has approximately the same measurement against its endpoint (wall) thus guaranteeing an accurate layout. The Template is secured with large head nails or staples. The Template also contains holes to allow the glue to adhere to the tile and the floor.
