Hi Everyone

[Snowy Blue]

Hello,

New to the forum , but not the trade as Ive been self employed tiler for the last 7 years.
Well done to everyone for a freindly , helpfull & informative forum, I enjoy scrolling through the discussions especially when it
gets heated !!:smilewinkgrin:
My local Nicobond are trying to get me to use these new levelling wedges, & I am recieving a lot of gumpf through the post from suppliers pushing
these things. Like most of you I manage to get my floors flat with no lippage using the correct trowel, levels, back buttering etc.. but was interested to
know if any of you are or have used these & if they work & save any time ?? My only concern is that the wedge is designed to bring the edges of nieghbouring
tiles flat & level using a 'pull' on the plastic clip that goes under the tile - but surely this could bring some tiles out of full contact with the bed.. ??
Any thoughts ?

Thanks again
Paul

Welcome along to TF. Not something I have ever used, a few folk on here have and the reviews are quite mixed.

Hi Paul welcome aboard. That's always been my concern with them to be honest. If a tile has sunk, surely it needs more adhesive under it and not just lifting off the adhesive bed?

:welcome: - had this discussion just today as Genesis are having a demonstration of their wedge system tomorrow at CTD Newcastle. Free bacon bun ( very poor coffee - will have to have cold drink) and hopefully a few free samples, Bal are also there.
I've not used them as of yet, but with all large format tiles I'd follow the practice of an extra dollop of adhesive in each corner for support, and if this upward movement does happen it will still be solid bed fixed.

Hello Timeless - my local ctd (Portsmouth) is doing one of their 'days' tommorow so might pop along & see - if nothing else it's a free bacon roll..!
