Tile Levelling plastic breaks? - TilersForums.com

[Gnasher]

Hi,
I am about to fix some ceramic 600 x 300 rectified tiles to a bathroom wall and was planning to use the PREMTOOL tile levelling system for the first time. Having read some reviews of these type of systems, some people have said that the plastic does not always snap in the right place, leaving plastic protruding.

Is this a problem with these systems or is it just poor technique? Your experience of this would be useful, thanks.

I am tiling to tanked Hardiebacker using Ardex X77W adhesive.

As long as you make sure to clean the grout lines of all adhesive before it sets you shouldn't have a problem. If adhesive squeezes up and sets around the clip then it can't move when you hit it and therefore won't snap.

Thanks, that makes sense.

I’d also recommend that if you’re using 3mm spacers get 2mm clips, or if you using 2mm spacers get 1mm clips as it’s definitely easier to remove them if the clips are smaller.....
