FAQs

What is the purpose of a tile leveling system?

A tile leveling system, like the GTV 201-Piece system, is used to ensure that adjacent tiles are installed at the same height, preventing 'lippage' (one tile edge being higher than the other) and creating a smooth, seamless surface.

How do I choose the correct clip thickness?

The clip thickness should generally match the thickness of your tile's edge or slightly less than your desired grout line width. The system offers 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3 mm options for flexibility.

Are the clips reusable?

The clips are designed to be used once and then broken off after the adhesive cures. The wedges and the crimping pliers are reusable.

Can this system be used for both floor and wall tiles?

Yes, this system is suitable for both floor and wall tile installations.

What tools are required in addition to this system?

You will need standard tiling tools such as a trowel for adhesive, tiles, grout, and a method to break off the clips (often a rubber mallet or kicking them off).

How many clips and wedges are included in the 201-piece set?

The set includes 100 clips, 100 wedges, and 1 pair of reusable crimping pliers, totaling 201 pieces.

Can this system be used with very large format tiles?

Yes, it is particularly beneficial for large format tiles where maintaining levelness is critical and more challenging.

Troubleshooting

Tiles are not leveling evenly.

Ensure clips are fully inserted under all adjacent tile edges and that the wedges are fully seated in the clips. Check that the tile adhesive is evenly spread and consistent in thickness.

Clips are breaking during crimping.

Verify you are using the correct clip thickness for your tile and grout line. Ensure the clips are placed correctly under the tile edge and not obstructed. Use steady, firm pressure with the pliers.

Wedges are difficult to insert or remove.

Ensure the clips are positioned correctly and not obstructed by adhesive. For removal, ensure the adhesive is fully cured. Use a rubber mallet to gently tap the wedges free if they are stuck.

System not holding tiles in place.

Check that the wedges are fully engaged with the clips and have created sufficient tension. Ensure the tile edges are clean and free of debris for proper grip.

  • Versatile with multiple clip sizes to suit different projects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Apply tile adhesive to the subfloor or wall surface.
  2. Place the first tile.
  3. Insert a clip from the GTV Tile Leveling System under the edge of the tile, ensuring it sits flush against the subfloor or wall.
  4. Place the adjacent tile, aligning its edge with the first tile.
  5. Insert a clip under the edge of the second tile.
  6. Use the reusable crimping pliers to engage with a wedge and firmly push the wedge into the clip, pulling the two tiles together and leveling them.
  7. Repeat for all adjacent tiles.
  8. Allow the adhesive to cure completely according to the manufacturer's instructions.
  9. Once cured, kick or carefully pry the clips and wedges to remove them. The wedges can be removed and reused.

Compatibility:

  • Compatible with most standard floor and wall tiles.
  • Recommended for use with tile thicknesses that align with the available clip sizes (1 mm to 3 mm).

Care:

  • Clean the reusable crimping pliers with a dry cloth after use.
  • Store components in a dry place to prevent rust or damage.
  • Inspect wedges for damage before reuse.
