Hi

cheers

That's one very expensive batton kit that seems to me as though you have to screw and plug it to the walls?!?! Pointless product if I'm thinking it does what I would have done in seconds with wooden strips (battons) and a few nails.

I know setting out is very important, but if I had to plug and screw battons to all the walls first, then tile them and unscrew them all again.

I used old bathtub feet and bolted one on either end of a level and the weight of the tiles holds it to the wall and it give you a buble to check lower level with and also nuts you adjust with if it's out. You can move it from wall to wall in an instant and it cost me £3.99 to make (the cost of the cheap level I drilled through at both ends).

As long as wood and a level is around - that system is just another fancy useless system made by either a tiler who had trouble with an easy task or somebody who isn't a tiler at all.

IMO.

Thanks for the replies. I like the bathfeet idea. You're right about the cost of the stringa level but it was going to be bought for me as a 'pressy' for xmas but I'll point them in another direction - perhaps the rubi batten stand.

i use rubi batten stands and use my spirit levels as i dont trust wood as it can bend even if it starts out straight. its too much greif

Stick ya battens to the wall with double sided tape, a 10cm length every 50cm, works a treat.... and no more drilling into cables n pipes ...........
