Sigma Non-Marring Beating Block – Eliminate Lippage & Air Gaps in Tile Installs

Achieve a perfectly flat tile surface every time with the Sigma Beating Block. This non-marring PVC block expels trapped air, prevents lippage, and promotes a rock-solid bond between tile and mortar—even on vertical walls.

Features & Benefits

  • Non-Marring PVC Face – Won’t scratch polished or high-gloss tiles

  • Generous 6 ¼" × 13" Surface – Covers large tile formats for faster bedding

  • Air-Expulsion Ridges – Drive out pockets that weaken adhesion and cause voids

  • Offset Ergonomic Handle – Provides a broad, balanced striking area for uniform pressure

  • Warp-Resistant Build – Durable PVC stays true in wet or humid job-site conditions

  • Vertical-Install Friendly – Ideal for shower walls, backsplashes, and facade panels

More Details

The Sigma Non-Marring Beating Block is a must-have finishing tool for contractors who install large-format porcelain, ceramic, or natural-stone tile. Measuring 6 ¼ × 13 inches, the block’s wide footprint lets you work faster while its soft PVC face protects delicate, high-polish surfaces. A series of subtle ridges along the striking plane forces trapped air and excess thin-set out from under the tile, eliminating lippage and ensuring full mortar transfer for stronger bonds.

Unlike wood blocks that swell or warp, Sigma’s precision-molded PVC body remains dimensionally stable—even in moisture-rich environments like showers or commercial kitchens. The offset handle design gives you a larger, balanced striking area, so you can tap tiles into place with controlled, even force. Whether you’re leveling floor panels or bedding upright wall tile, this beating block provides the confidence and consistency professionals—and quality-minded DIYers—demand for a flawless finish.

Tavy spacers

I've been using these spaces for years. I love them. I'm just a little nervous because they changed the color of the spacers. I think they were bought out so I'm not sure if they're going to be the exact same size. They changed The colors the white ones are now 1/16 instead of green they switched all the colors around. I'm glad I have all my old ones

Awesome!

The product worked great!. The effort to break off is much less than the previous product I was using from the orange store. These may cost a little more up front, but the ease of removal is worth it as I had a number of the previous products break off in between the tiles. And that can be a challenge to remove without damaging a tile edge. No doubt will purchase these again.

Outstanding Product

I have used the orange store brand and some clips were difficult to break and some remained between the tiles which can be a challenge to remove. With the perfect Level Master product, not one single issue. It takes much less force to break the spacer clip also. I will purchase this brand again without question. Good quality product and easy removal.

Better than Dewalt and MK Diamond blades for cutting porcelain tile

Before finding the Helix Copperhead blade, I used Dewalt XP4 and MK Diamond MK-415 blades. Both of these blades generally have good reviews, but they cannot touch the Helix Copperhead for smoothness of cut, lack of chipping, and lack of breakout at the end of the cut. I use the Helix blade primarily on porcelain tile and the cuts look factory on rectified tile. My machine is a MK Diamond 10" wet saw with a belt-driven blade arbor. The only non-positive comment I will make concerns the thinness of the blade. It has a thickened center section, which helps the blade run true. However, because of the blade rim thinness, it is possible for the blade to deflect slightly if pushing the tile too fast - an effect that is easily remedied by slowing cutting speed.
