FAQs
What is the purpose of a tile leveling system?
A tile leveling system ensures that adjacent tiles are laid at the same height, preventing unevenness or 'lippage'. This results in a smoother, more professional-looking finished surface.
How many clips and wedges are included in the 201-piece set?
The set contains a total of 201 pieces, which includes a balanced quantity of high-strength clips, durable wedges, and reusable crimping pliers to facilitate a complete tiling project.
Can I reuse the clips and wedges?
The clips are designed to be broken off after the adhesive cures. The wedges are reusable, and the crimping pliers are also designed for repeated use.
Which clip thickness should I use?
Choose the clip thickness that matches your desired grout line width. The system offers 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm, and 3 mm options.
How do I remove the clips after the tiles are set?
Once the tile adhesive is fully cured, the clips are typically removed by breaking them off at the base. This can be done by tapping them sharply with a rubber mallet or the heel of your shoe, or by carefully cutting them flush with a utility knife.
Is this system suitable for professional use?
Yes, the system's durable construction, reusable pliers, and efficiency in achieving level surfaces make it well-suited for professional tilers.
What types of tiles can this system be used with?
This system is generally compatible with most types of floor and wall tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone, provided they have a regular shape.
Troubleshooting
Tiles remain uneven after tightening
Ensure clips are fully inserted under the tile edges and not obstructed by adhesive. Re-apply pressure with the pliers, ensuring an even pull on both sides of the wedge.
Clips break during tightening
Verify you are using the correct thickness clip for your grout line. Ensure the pliers are applying even pressure and not at an extreme angle. Inspect pliers for damage.
Difficulty removing excess clip material
Wait until the adhesive is fully cured. Tap firmly at the base of the clip, parallel to the grout line. If stubborn, use a utility knife or grout saw to carefully cut it flush.
Wedges do not tighten sufficiently
Ensure the wedge teeth are fully engaged with the clip. Check that there is no excess adhesive preventing proper insertion and tightening of the wedge.
Offers flexibility with multiple clip sizes for different grout widths.
Durable components designed for professional and frequent use.
Simplifies a critical step in tile installation for a better finish.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Spread tile adhesive evenly on the substrate.
Place the first tile.
Insert a leveling clip beneath the edge of the first tile, and then beneath the edge of the next tile to be laid, ensuring the clips meet at the corner.
Use the reusable crimping pliers to clamp the wedges inserted into the clips, pulling the tiles into alignment and ensuring they are level with each other.
Repeat for all adjacent tile edges.
Allow the adhesive to cure fully according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Once cured, remove the excess clip material by tapping it sharply with a rubber mallet or the heel of your shoe, or by carefully cutting it flush with the grout line.
