What is a corner template (corner meter)?
As is evident, in addition to the beauty of ceramic tiles and grouting, one of the most important options for creating a beautiful space with ceramic tiles on the floor and walls is the quality of tiling. For this reason, new tools for installing ceramic tiles are produced and introduced to the market every day. One of the steps in the tiling process is tiling the corners and nooks of the environment, which have different forms. Also, encountering utility pipes or cornices or any other obstacle that makes it impossible to use square or rectangular tiles is one of the important problems for tilers. In traditional methods, this operation was performed by measuring with a ruler and then marking on the tile and cutting it. Of course, this method is possible in internal and external corners of 90 degrees or at least an angle. If a cornice or door frame or utility pipes, etc. are encountered, measuring with a ruler is eliminated and usually tilers would hypothetically break the edges of the tile to create the desired shape, which was often not accurate and ultimately ugly and irregular tiling was created in the aforementioned points, which ultimately had to be filled with mortar. The corner meter or corner template is an efficient and innovative tool for creating corners and edges that are not straight or have special round or oval shapes, etc. In fact, the corner meter or corner template allows for precise cutting of tiles and ceramics according to the existing situation. This product is produced in 4 sizes: 25, 30, 40 and 50 centimeters. Also, the length of the angle meter prongs produced by Beton Plast Company is 3cm longer than all similar items, which makes it possible to model sections with high curvature and depth.
The angle measuring template is used as a very practical tool for very convenient measurements, including corners and hard-to-reach corners, cutting pipes in different sizes, angled points, etc. In fact, the angle template is a tool that creates precise cuts of tiles and ceramics according to their existing condition. Another feature of using this tool is for needle patterning in lathes (cutting wood for lampshade bases, etc.). If the angle meter is properly maintained, it can be used as a wonderful tiling tool.
A protractor is a tool used to measure and transfer angles in various carpentry, tiling, and construction projects. The angle gauge is adjustable and consists of several movable parts that allow the user to measure internal or external angles more accurately. It is very useful when you need to cut or install parts that need to be placed precisely at certain angles, using it, you can easily cut angles or perform installations more accurately.

What is the correct way to use a corner template?
As there were irregular or geometrically shaped sections in the corners and edges of the work, in the first step, lean the tile angle meter or tile angle template against it and push the prongs of the angle meter so that it takes on its geometric shape due to the numerous blades in the angle meter. Then, transfer the angle meter to the tile or ceramic and draw the resulting geometric shape on the tile with a marker, following the angle meter blades. After that, cut the desired shape with the help of one of the tile cutting tools, and in this way, the tile or ceramic is placed in the desired location with the help of the angle meter as a mold.
Contour Gauge Tool – Corner Template / Corner Meter
The Contour Gauge Tool, also referred to as a corner meter or corner stencil, is an essential and innovative device designed to accurately transfer and replicate complex shapes, contours, curves, and angles for precise cutting of ceramic tiles, wood, laminates, or any construction materials. It solves one of the most common challenges in finishing work: matching tiles or materials to irregular shapes, such as curved edges, utility pipes, rounded corners, moldings, or other architectural elements where straight cuts would not suffice.
This tool is especially useful in environments where traditional measuring methods fail or produce inaccurate results. With the contour gauge, professionals can model complex surfaces easily and replicate them onto materials for exact cutting, ensuring high-precision results and a clean, professional finish every time.
Product Features and Functional Properties
- Accurate Angle Adjustment: Equipped with multiple precision pins or blades, this tool allows perfect replication of any edge or angle, whether it’s sharp, curved, or irregular.
- Built-in Ruler and Measurement Scale: Integrated rulers on the body help with precise measurement and alignment during use.
- Extended Pin Length: Unlike standard models, Beton Plast’s contour gauge features extended prongs—3 cm longer than most alternatives—making it ideal for capturing deeper or more pronounced curves.
- Lightweight and Durable Construction: Made from high-quality, lightweight, impact-resistant plastic, the tool is easy to handle while withstanding job site conditions.
- Size Variants: Available in 25 cm, 30 cm, 40 cm, and 50 cm models, making it versatile for small detailing and large-scale layout tasks.
Use Cases and Functional Application
The corner meter is invaluable in a wide range of applications, including:
- Ceramic and Tile Cutting: Allows precise cuts around wall corners, columns, doorframes, cornices, and plumbing fixtures.
- Woodworking and Carpentry: Ideal for transferring profiles in furniture making, cabinetry, or decorative trim.
- Laminate and Flooring Installation: Helps create accurate cutouts around room corners, pipes, and uneven surfaces.
- Construction Detailing: For replicating and cutting around irregular architectural features.
- Metal and Plastic Fabrication: Assists in laying out cut lines on curved or uneven parts.
Practical Usage Example
In traditional tile installation methods, marking tiles for cuts around corners, pipes, or frames was done using rulers and estimations, often leading to inaccurate or irregular shapes that required patching with mortar. This not only affected the aesthetics but also increased installation time and labor. The contour gauge eliminates such guesswork. By simply pressing the gauge against the target surface, the individual pins adjust and form the shape. This shape can then be directly traced onto the tile or other material for cutting.
How to Use the Contour Gauge Tool Effectively
- Align the Gauge with the Target Surface: Place the tool flush against the contour or object you want to replicate.
- Press Gently but Firmly: The adjustable plastic blades will move to match the shape of the surface.
- Lock the Shape (if applicable): Some advanced models offer a locking mechanism to hold the profile in place.
- Transfer the Shape to Your Material: Move the contour gauge onto your tile, laminate, or board and trace along the blades.
- Cut According to the Outline: Use a tile cutter, jigsaw, or appropriate tool to cut along the traced shape.
