Plastic tiling wedges

[David Rowell]

I watched a video the other day on the tube of you lol and this tiler was using wedges to compensate for tile differences 'i think' please correct if im wrong.

But if this is what they are used for wont they just cause the grout line benieth the tile look out?

Isnt this just a Kinda "stealing from pete to pay paul" situation?.

 

[Alan M]

yes your right but usually the grout line is a disaster before you use it. all you are doing is moving half the error to the next line and minimizing the difference.

If a tile is 1mm out adjusting it 0.5 top and bottom looks better. ......joys of tiling with crap tiles im afraid and being able to get round these issues is what makes a good tiler. .

Wouldn't start a job without wedges! Before I found wedges I was messing about ripping and folding bits of card, so much easier with wedges.

Wedges are sent from the lord himself

Seen that type of video before - Confessions of a tiling contractor!
Bought a tub of some tile levelling clips once, didn't find them useful, but the yellow wedges are great for stone and large format tiles.
The Rubi wedges are always worth having in your tool box and in actual fact find their way to the bottom of the bag. That extra few mm always make the difference.

Have I because I'm confused now or are you taking the wedge out of me

 

[Time's Ran Out]

Apparently I confuse many people.
Threads about wedge shaped spacers and I introduced floor levelling clips ( or part of).

Wedges are great for natural stone,wouldn't be without them,I done 100s of m2 last year with the lash clips,once you get used to them which takes a while they do leave a spot on finish,I done 300m2 of polished porcelain with them and it was like a sheet of glass and a lot faster too

Which system did you use Dash?

 

[Dash J]

Genesis mate,as I say it takes ages to get used to them,once you get the hang of them they are great

Never used and tile levelling clips, I can only imagine that they would give you sore fingers lol, been close to purchasing some just to see what they are like as many rate them and many slate them haha. As for normal wedges they are brilliant for many uses

I think they're great, I'm sure I got sheep's teeth by trying to chew down on regular plastic spacers to try and compensate for odd sized tiles
