Anyone who thinks they can install thin large format tiles perfectly without clips, even on a perfect substrate is totally and completely deluded.

Clips are fine Huddersfield , there’s nothing wrong with them.
And they ‘push the tile not lift it .the bits of plastic which are left won’t cause a problem, unless you have some scientific mumbo jumbo to say otherwise 🙂 .
They are most defo a must on large tiles, say above 600x600 and plank tiles, like someone has said , a lot of planks are bent, due to either just being cheap ‘s hit , or being stacked on a uneven surface in a long trip .
Bloody Yorkshireman coming here, nicking our jobs 😉

I've not come on here to "nick jobs" or make enemies. I've simply got bored in an evening, and only posted on here to help the people who have asked and want some advice. I don't travel out of about 20 mile radius, and never fix other rubbish tilers work without a complete rip-out and start again approach. I've obviously touched a nerve about clips with a few tilers, but fine, everybody works differently. I'm obviously old-school, but I don't think that warrants the abuse I've been dealt. Not here for a fight fellow tilers!

Well try and get genuinely involved then and don't push for its your way or the highway...no point joining just to berate other tilers methods just because you don't use them, I might add you are actually in the minority that don't use clips or lasers so you may very well learn a few 'tips tricks and handy hints' yourself and who knows we may learn a couple off you..and that 'fellow tiler' was an olive branch before it gets misinterpreted.

I dare not say a word.

As Marc says, 3.5mm porcelthin up to 6mm. Basically anything that will by its nature bow, bend and flex.
