Thanks for that Neale, interesting to note they all make a point of stating the floor must be leveled prior to tile installation. I do spend the most time preparing floors, with slc and my own ( quirky) some might say methods. I can prep the worst floor, given the time and effort required is reflected in the price.

The prep work for me is paramount, I can guarantee if I am allowed to prep the floor using my methods, you could play pool on them. Again it all comes down to cost, if the customer will pay the price, then I can give them a super flat surface to tile on.

If you do have a flat floor, after prep, then I would think using the correct solid bed trowel, it is not hard to get a lip free floor.

I am not knocking these systems after all they are all a variation on a theme. But I think if you get the prep right, the tiling is a lot easier. Just my opinion, and I am still looking forward to everyone's input.

Yeah well I dont think they should be called a levelling system....anti lippage system seems more fitting.

Cheers Neale, I just think it could be misleading to some folks, as you say, if your sub-floor is not flat then no amount of lash clips etc will help. 600mmx600mm rectified edge porcelain will not bend.

So I had a chance to use the Lash clips today. Last week I started a 55m2 floor and I was laying the 600x600 porcelain tiles in the time honoured method with my trusty white rubber hammer. I had no issues at all doing it this way but as I have already stated, Curiosity got the better of me and I gave the lash clip system a go.
I had a small area to tile off the main floor area so this is where I tried it. I have to say I was much quicker the old way. The clips caused too much mess and pushing the wedges in made my fingers hurt after a few minutes.
At least I tried and I will probably try again at some point but not in the near future.
So my honest verdict is

I won't throw away my trusty white rubber hammer just yet, Neale, thanks for that.
