    Am I missing out not using levelling clips

    Currently I don’t use leveling clips. Having read about them and seen threads on here I’m considering using them. If I you get a better finish and quicker then why not? When do you guys use them? - size type of tile - wall / floor - do they mean that the surface to be tiled need not be as...

    Shrinking adhesive/levelling clips.

    Does anyone ever get adhesive shrinking? Let’s say you tile half a wall, go back the next day to tile the rest and once the second lot of tiles has set, it’s shrunk back ever so slightly. I’m not talking about a thick bed of adhesive either. Or too much water in the mix. I’m wondering if...

    We have just had a slate backsplash installed all round the kitchen benchtops. The builder sealed it with 2 coats of Tasmanian Chemicals Premium Long Life Gloss, which the slate supplier had sold us for that specific job.

    Levelling clips are a load of tosh? Really?

    I’ve had arguments with ‘tilers’ who tell me that levelling clips are a gimmick and they’re not needed. Well look what happened to some plonker who said this to me. The floor without the clips is obvious and by pure coincidence I finished one yesterday were clips were used. I got a call by a...

    Lippage clips... charge or not?

    I've been using clips more frequently these days due to tile size, rectified edge tiles etc... trouble is over the month they can be quite expensive if you're using them on several jobs. Question is do you charge for the clips or not?
