Afternoon chaps

I've got a job coming up and the developer has spec'd the use of lash clips on the floor tiling. The tiles are 600 sq super white polished porcelain, 2mm joints and he wants the clips to be used to ensure no lips/shadows etc. Aprox 200mt area with a huge glass wall and bi-folds etc.
Now I don't normally use them so havn't a clue if they are worth using but he's adamant they are to be used on this job as its spec'd by his client and they will be visiting site so my question to you is....

- What system is the best?
- Is there a nack to it? Wetter adhesive?
- Is it going to slow me down and should I charge more for the faffing about and not just for the clips?

Thanks in advance
 
OK looking at Raimondi its 1.5mm or 3mm. He can have that option

Probably the easiest way in to using clips is with the Raimondi style clips and wedges.
If u can wait a week for delivery this company is used by quite a few members and the quality of the product is good.

The 2000 clip deal is very good value.
Wedges, u don't need so many as they're reuseable and u only really need as many as u can use in one day, as next day they're removed, unless you're using rapid of course.

I'd suggest getting the pliers too as its new to you.
The reason I think the pliers are useful is because when tightening by hand it's very easy to push the clip away from u which in turn opens the joint. And if u don't notice it causes obvious problems.
And for what they cost, I think a useful tool.

Yes it helps to have a slightly wetter mix I feel when using clips, and forget the old wives tale about them pulling other pieces up when tightening and causing voids.
If the previous tile is fully bedded correctly, when u tighten the next one, it will snap long before it pulls the tile up.
Watch for adhesive build up around the clips when bedding in, it's just a pain having to rake joint next day.

I believe it speeds the process of laying tiles up, u bed the tile to where u want it, and instead of spending time adjusting to get edges perfectly flat, the clip pulls it in that last mm or 2.
Yes it takes a little practise to get the pressure of tightening correct so that u don't snap them, but after half a dozen or so, u should get feel for them.

Remove clips when the adhesive has set by using a rubber mallet with a sharp tap to the side, this causes the clip to snap free.
If you are too gentle you increase your chances of leaving part of the clip behind which will need to be cut out.

Personally I prefer the Rubi style but they are more expensive and take more practise.

Hope this gives u an idea of what to expect.
