Tiles bowing after fitment

[Dan]

Try without any lash clips and less adhesive as a test on a fresh bit of wall maybe?

I wangled a "sample" set of the TileEasy clips from our local Tile Giant. Tried them, went back an bought some more. The are much more robust than the genesis and rubi systems, but am still keen to try the Raimondi version. One downside I found with them was that they can push the tile away from the adjacent one. Not too much of an issue, but you need to keep your eye on it when you tighten them up.

One quick question, how long did you leave the adhesive to set before knocking the clips out?

Which ones are the tileasy clips? I had a quick Google but couldn't find them. I've got the LASH ones and I do fine the base a bit thick to get under the tile as it is curved.

You need to get a away from them god damn awful things!
Take some advice Magga, dig deeper in your pocket mate.
Get another system.
If budget is a concern, go here
You won't be disappointed.
Get the pliers too, or go to kwiksplit and get these Raimondi ones.

Budget isn't a concern as such, I just got an absolute shed load of them really cheap from B&Q when it was closing down! I've looked at some of the other systems, but not sure which one to go for to be honest.

Have you not narrowed it down at all?

 

[magga]

Looking at the available ones, I think the wedge provides more pressure, so I suppose one with a flat base, and that uses wedges! Probably the Raimondi ones would be the best, as their stuff is generally pretty good. I suppose I just worry that because the base is flat, you could potentially pull it down too much?

Heard a few systems can move the tile when tightening. The caps on those can kinda twist the tile away, opening the joint. Thats why i wanna test the raimondi ones cuz you can push the wedge in the direction of the adjacent tile instead of away from it.

Used another similar item and don't like the corner ones....
