Why choose a leveling system?
Tile leveling systems ensure that there are no height differences between the edges of adjacent tiles by holding the tile edges together and creating an even surface. You can use them for large tiles, thin tiles, rectified floor tiles, and rectified wall tiles.
- How does a tile leveling system work?
The system’s working principle is based on using adjustable pliers to place clips and wedges between the tile edges with the aim of leveling the tiles. The clips and wedges can also be inserted and removed equally easily.
Clips and accompanying wedges ensure any height differences between tiles are leveled. - Benefits of a tile leveling system
Tile leveling systems offer a number of benefits. You can lay all your tiles in one go, for example, and start walking on your new floor sooner. The clips and wedges also hold the tiles together properly while laying them, and automatically ensure you always have the same joint width.
Are your tiles thinner than 6 mm? No problem if you’re using a leveling system. You’re sure to end up with a perfectly laid floor which you can enjoy for many years. When considering your options, you’ll discover a tile leveling system with standard clips and wedges or splints, among others. You can use this system to lay tiles evenly, with the clips and wedges doing all the work for you.
The clips are available in various thicknesses, such as 1, 2, and 3 mm, and the placement pliers are made from plastic so they’re easy to handle when inserting the wedges firmly in the clips. You can of course also opt for metal pliers. - How does a tile leveling system work?
When using a tile leveling system, you start by applying the tile adhesive. Then you slide the clips under the tile. You can use one or more clips on each side.
When the spacer is firmly in place, you’re ready for the next tile. Are all the tiles completely level? Then insert the wedge into the clip opening. The push pliers are useful for this. Now it’s just a matter of waiting. The adhesive needs time to fully dry.
Once the adhesive is completely hard, remove the visible part of the clip. Anyone can use this system to lay tiles evenly, always the right distance apart. We often see professional tilers benefiting from it in practice.
