Floor levelling pegs. Which ones have you tried

[charlie1]

not necessarily, there are addy's that claim to be deformable, and they are, but to what extent?

who knows what goes on underneath a tile once you pull it back out its bed by say 5mm? You would need to xray the bed to find out, my guess is it would be full of voids, or more probably one large void somewhere. I don't personally have too much of an issue with this however if i was fitting tiles in an area subject to really heavy traffic then i certainly would.

An old tiler once told me that a coin would be rolled across the floor, hopefully not hitting a lip otherwise it would jump.....

I think that's what I was saying

lash clips dont level floors they just control lippage if the floor is bumpy and out of tolerance you still have to latex ,lash clips are helpful when using large format tiles when using pourable adhesives as they stop the tiles slumping and stop the adjacent tiles being pushed up by the bedding of the tile next to it ,Try the clips out first before dismissing them if then you decide they are not for you give a explanation why you dont like them not just theories on why not to use them

The Americans use a tile puck ,anybody used one of these ?

Had a clerk of the works used to use a billard ball if it jumped on an certain spot he would put a chalk mark on the tiles so we would end up chopping that area back up that was in the Sand/cement days all the tilers on the firm dreaded working on his jobs.

I keep wondering about these pegs... Can't figure out if they'll save, or add time!?! I do have occasional issues with slumping though, so might be of benefit. Nothing worse than leaving a job chuffed at how perfect it is, just to come back in the morning and see one of the tiles has dropped.. Ruins my week!

I don't doubt they would be useful for the likes of myself tiling residential areas but using on commercial areas i would have concerns, will def give it a go and see if i like although i do like using my spirit level or gigantuim marble

Where's the best place to buy the Raimondi levelling system?

 

[DHTiling]

Quite a few of these systems on the market now... think i will stick with the way i have always done it...

 

[Bubblecraft]

I'm quite happy with the way I do it but wouldn't mind giving this a try see if I can see any benefits

 

[charlie1]

I fancy a we shot at the Australian one at some point.

 

[spacedout]

Haven't used any of the systems. Will try the Italian make one day. Can any of the systems be used for 30mm stone and what is the maximum depth between tiles that the clips can pull together to make level (smooth) before a void is created? Is this system for slight lips between tiles 2-3mm and no more.

no mate but i have seen the yanks use them a lot, i found myself sliding one of the Raimondi wedges back and forth as i was tightening them up, they produced a superb finish !!
