Product Information

Full details

The Tile Rite Levelling Wedges are designed for professional tilers and DIY enthusiasts seeking perfect tile alignment. They are crucial for achieving uniform grout lines and preventing uneven finishes, especially when working with large format Porcelain, Marble, and Stone tiles on both walls and floors. A key benefit is the enhanced precision and reduced risk of tile lipping, though their effectiveness is maximized when used in conjunction with compatible levelling spacers.

FAQs

Do I need to buy the levelling spacers separately?

Yes, the Tile Rite Levelling Wedges are designed to work with Tile Rite levelling spacers, which are sold separately.

What types of tiles are these wedges best for?

They are specifically designed for fitting large format Porcelain, Marble, and Stone tiles, helping to prevent unevenness and lipping.

Can I use these wedges on wall tiles as well as floor tiles?

Yes, these wedges are suitable for both wall and floor tiling projects.

How do I remove the wedges after the tiles are set?

Once the tile adhesive has fully cured, the wedges and their corresponding spacers are typically removed by tapping the spacer with a rubber mallet or similar tool.

How many tiles can one pack of 100 wedges help level?

The number of tiles a 100-piece pack can assist with depends on the spacing between tiles and the size of the tiles. Generally, each tile will require at least two to four wedges depending on its placement relative to other tiles.

Will these wedges damage my tiles?

When used correctly with the appropriate levelling spacers, they should not damage your tiles. Ensure the pressure is applied evenly and avoid excessive force.

Troubleshooting

Wedges not fitting spacers easily.

Ensure you are using compatible Tile Rite levelling spacers. Check for any debris in the spacer slots. Try gently wiggling the wedge as you insert it.

Uneven levelling despite using wedges.

Verify that spacers are placed correctly under all adjacent tile edges. Ensure consistent pressure is applied when inserting wedges. Check that the substrate is reasonably flat.

Wedges breaking during installation.

Do not over-tighten the wedges. Apply firm but reasonable pressure. If tiles are significantly uneven, multiple spacers or a different levelling method might be needed.
