I think you'd get a little more respect if you knew what you were talking about Brian. 40 years or 6 months in, if you are wrong then you're wrong and you are wrong
Believe me being in the trade for so long ive heard allsorts of c..p where so called tilers try to con customers into certain things, if that is keeping up with the times well ill stay behind thanks and do things that i know from old,dont think anyone on this site will agree but to me experience counts for a lot and whatever anyone says you will never ta

Then what was the relevance Brian!?
I remember a discussion similar to this with @Tom Astley a while back and he was of a similar mind. Tom now uses these clips Brian as most tilers on here do with planks and bowed stuff. Why not give them a try?
The relevance is no clips where mentioned in that post,but as i said over the years ive heard it all,instead of spending your time slating me why not try the tile companys who are making theese bowed tiles then you may not even need the clips and you would be able to make more money

The way I read that post your calling us con men, well personally I think its you conning your customers telling them they've bought bent tiles and you'll do your best with them but they won't be perfect but its there fault for buying the tiles when there's a product out there for a few pennies that will sort it 🙂
Over the 40 years don't try and tell me youve never folded a bit of card up or jammed a spacer under the corner of a tile just to get that last mill adjustment, well there's now a magical product that can do this for you, oh and if you say no then sorry but I don't believe you

Andy i never mentioned you or any names,its been a good debate would be better without the mud slinging,have a good week on the tiles guys hope you dont suffer to much with the bends keep them clips handy ,im out
How much does 2.000 cost...... And roughly how many square meters would it do......... Average size tile..... Not them bloody massive things you fit... 🙂

The ones I get off ebay are £80 for 2000, just done a 36m floor in 600's and used about 4/500 so about £20's worth, they will go on the bill with other mats
Andy do you give the price to the customer including clips before you start the job?sorry meaning are they included in your price

I'm yet to take the plunge into levelling clips.......I can understand where they might bend 1200mm planks......but could they bend 600mm x400mm porcelain in brick bond flat?...... a scenario I had last week where the customer wanted brick bond but the tiles did not agree!

Not given a fixed price for years, everything's an estimate with me, dayrate plus mats, just tot up everything at the end, customers usually ask what they do and after explaining the benefits they just pay, not had a quibble about £20 or whatever for them on an invoice up to now..

Ouch!!
So say i have a fifteen mtr floor to tile just 600 ×300 brick style from b&q any idea how much please the floor may need a couple of bags of leveler first
I've been using them for ages. I add the cost of them to the job but have never discussed it with a customer.... It's not an option as far as I'm concerned. Virtually every customer I've had has been really impressed by the clips.
I am also absolutely sure that they do speed up workflow and I'd recommend them to anyone
