Suspended Timber Floor Tile Prep

[Bill]

You have used the most rubbish clips ever invented. No wonder you think they are crap.

 

[Bill]

Have you tiled straight onto chipboard?

 

[Deyna]

No! I'll admit it looks like it doesnt it. 6mm Cement board.

Unfortunately it was a case of local availability. If there is a better product please let me know I would rather not use these again.

Just buy them from ebay..... you have used the lash clip set that have curved bases.

Ye I know what I bought. Ebay has a lot of junk so is there a better design I should be looking for? Anything similar to this will just have the same problems. Ideally a system that is re-usable given the area I need to work on...

Hi Deyna
The best clips I find are the Raimondi ones. Google RLS system and your find them easy enough.

you can only reuse the wedges......

Unfortunately I wont trust those wedge style ones again. Long evening ahead 😀

That is because you are doing it wrong and bought the wrong clips.

Fair enough...if you care to expand I would be more than happy to learn!

Too much addy? Bed too small (10mm + back buttered)? Laying the tile incorrectly? Not kicking them straight?

Why would a similar design work any better?
