Nickfromwales Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Hi folks. As a moderator on this forum, I'm not exactly over the moon to see how this is going so far. 2 hours ago, Laith J said: Hi Everyone.. Based in Cardiff South Wales, i'm a tiler and bathroom installer by trade but have also project managed a number of larger projects including renovations, conversions and new builds.. Hi @Laith J. As an introduction, that was a little short and uninformative. That is what has provoked some replies. An explanation that you'd heard that this was a good / interactive information source would have been useful in your first post. Residence here is a privilege, not an assumption, so we keep this ship 'Bristol fashion' at all times, as I hope you appreciate. 2 hours ago, nod said: I think your on the wrong forum This is a self build forum Lets leave any assumptions out until it's appropriate to comment otherwise please .

stephen margerison Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Back to work , do you use the new "self levelling system", is plastic clips and wedge, if so how do you find it? and would you recommend it ?

I saw it being used on a huge area in Spain, the finished product looked great . Welcome Hi.. They are very helpful especially when doing large format tiles... Im laying a lot of 1200x600 and similar sizes now which is where the levelling systems are essential, the only thing is some people are now using them and forgetting the fundamentals of tiling and just relying too much on clips... you also need to be careful with them in the sense that when you are using the pliers to tighten the clips, that you dont accidentally alter the grout lines.. which is a thing I see people doing quite often without realising.. it helps to point the lower edge of the wedge towards the area with most weight (if that makes sense)... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
