Full details

FAQs

Do I need to buy the clips separately?

Yes, these are Vitrex Tile Levelling *Wedges*. You will need to purchase the compatible Vitrex LASH clips separately to use this system.

How many wedges do I get in this pack?

This pack contains 100 Vitrex Tile Levelling Wedges.

Can I reuse the wedges?

No, the wedges are designed to be single-use. They are intended to be broken off and discarded after the tile adhesive has cured.

What types of tiles can I use this system with?

The Vitrex LASH system is generally compatible with most standard ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone tiles. Always ensure the clips can be adequately placed under the tile edge.

How do I remove the clips after tiling?

Once the adhesive is fully cured, use a rubber mallet or strike firmly with your foot along the grout line to break the clip off below the surface of the tile.

What is 'lippage' and how does this system prevent it?

Lippage refers to the difference in height between adjacent tiles. These wedges hold tiles at an even height during installation, preventing any part of a tile from sitting higher or lower than its neighbor.

Troubleshooting

Wedges do not seem to hold tiles level.

Ensure you are using compatible Vitrex LASH clips and that the clips are properly seated under the tile edges. Check that the wedge is fully inserted into the clip. Excessive tile bowing might require additional support before using the levelling system.

Clips are difficult to break off.

Allow the tile adhesive to cure completely. Ensure you are striking the clip along the grout line, parallel to the tile surface. If resistance is extreme, check for any adhesive buildup around the clip.

Uneven spacing between tiles.

Verify that the LASH clips are inserted at consistent intervals along the tile edges. Adjust wedge pressure to fine-tune spacing if necessary before the adhesive sets.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Achieves professional, lippage-free tile installations.
  • Significantly speeds up the tiling process.
  • Ensures consistent spacing and alignment between tiles.
  • Helps to correct minor tile imperfections for a flatter finish.
  • Easy to use for both beginners and experienced installers.

Cons

  • Requires separate purchase of compatible LASH clips.
  • Primarily designed for use with specific LASH clip system.
  • May not be suitable for very large format tiles without additional support.
  • Wedges are single-use and must be broken off after installation.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place a LASH clip flat under the edge of two adjacent tiles, ensuring it is positioned correctly to engage both tiles.
  2. Slide a Vitrex Tile Levelling Wedge into the clip.
  3. Push the wedge firmly until the tiles are level and consistently spaced. You will feel resistance as the system tightens.
  4. Once the tile adhesive has fully cured, use a rubber mallet or your foot to strike the top of the clip (along the grout line) to break it off cleanly below the tile surface. The wedge is single-use.

Compatibility:

  • These wedges are specifically designed to be used with Vitrex LASH clips. They may not function correctly or safely with clips from other brands.
  • Compatible with most standard wall and floor tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone. > Info needed: Confirm compatibility with extra-thick or unusually shaped tiles.

Care:

  • The wedges themselves are disposable items and do not require cleaning.
  • Ensure LASH clips are clean before use to prevent debris from interfering with the levelling process.
