I've never used any levelling system before and done loads of plank floors. I'll be having a go with the Raimondi or Rubi ones in the new year on 1200x2400 porcelain. I think they'll be needed. Each to their own.

By 'eck, you boys'll be telling me next you're using lasers instead of water levels and "adhesive" instead of sand and cement. I suspect that you're using new fangled electrical wizardry to cut tiles as well

@3fall was shocked at me not mixing slc with a stick 😉

Neither did I for these planks but the option is there if needed....

I've been anti-clips for years but this year I've changed my view. Some still have the potential to lift tiles from the adhesive bed, and all potentially allow idiots to make a nice looking job with spot fixing. But on large format and very large format they have a definite place now in my van.

Clips are an option not a requirement and won't make a poor tiler a good one , nothing can replace years of experience but they do make a difficult job easier and all pros want their work to be the best it possibly can be .anything ,tool, method or device that can assist with that is a positive not a negative

Can you imagine using those on a shopfitting job and telling the foreman that he can't cover the floor up even thought the tiles have set.........sometimes I wonder how you lot can call yourself tilers.

Yes I agree with you how can Gary call himself a tiler when he has to use clips to produce this
www.gbwalsh.co.uk and you can lay plank tiles without them. you are truly the best tiler I have ever seen in my life and would like to offer to labour for you free of charge just so I can learn some off the skills it takes to throw down some crappy planks and brag that it is hi end work.

Leveling clips have there place in every tilers tool box, I've just finished a wetroom in 1000x500's, all walls were dot and dabbed and plasterers done a great job apart from one small dip in the wall, the clips got me out of a whole heap of trouble there, only used half a dozen on the whole room but wouldn't be without em in the van..
