Floor levelling pegs. Which ones have you tried

[Bubblecraft]

This is where i get my kit from bub !Kwik Split take a look they are very good dealers

They are the first site I seem that had them but looked a pretty poor, cheap site so was a little weary [URL="http://www.kwiksplit.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Raimondi_Tile_Spacers_and_Levelling_System.html] Kwik Split[/URL]
So £70.80 for a 100pc starter kit

DON'T worry mate they are great to deal with !, i buy loads of my stuff from them !!

So is the wall kit 3mm base clips & floor kit 4mm base clips?

 

[The Legend; Phil Hobson RIP]

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 have used that Mark, a pound coin is perfect it also shows voids under tiles. You can hear the hollow spots as the coin passes over them.

Just realised there's a different set of pliers too. Anything else different between the wall & floor kit. Doubt I'd ever use it on wall tiles anyway

 

[Spud]

the only difference is the pliers for the floor have a 90 degree set from the handles ,the wall ones are straight ,I dont really use the pliers I just hand tighten them

Oh yeah, see that now. There's the standard clips, 3mm & 4mm. Just didn't state what size the standard clips were.

Lol. I'm a very clean worker so should be fine. I do know a very messy worker that would need them though.

Think ill grab me the floor kit for my next floor job & give it a whirl.

Take it the wedges can be removed? Prefer to use slow set on floors now wherever possible, much less slump and easier to get a floor to stay lip free.

Sorry what I meant to say was reused. Or do the pliers squeeze and deform them too much?

Yeah, wedges can be reused over and over but like spacers, they will get covered in adhesive and get mangled the more you use them. They are relatively cheap enough to buy separately though if they require to be replaced - http://www.kwiksplit.co.uk/acatalog/copy_of_copy_of_Raimondi_Tile_Spacers_and_Levelling_System.html

Wingn you can use the wedges over-over, the pliers don't deform them , i think gary said he just uses this hands to place them, i used the piers every time,if you have the piers set to the wrong tention they will snap them,so it's important to get the best from your tool,and set it right to start with, they look very professional IMO on a tiled floor/wall and it sort of shows the customers you have taken care to do a v-good job !!give them a go i did, and liked them .......
