levelling
Levelling or leveling (American English; see spelling differences) is a branch of surveying, the object of which is to establish or verify or measure the height of specified points relative to a datum. It is widely used in geodesy and cartography to measure geodetic height, and in construction to measure height differences of construction artifacts.
It is also known as spirit levelling and differential levelling.

I got hold of some of the above from the well known builders warehouse. When using the tool to push in the wedges, several of the clips broke at one side and it was a royal PITA to lift the tile and get another in. Is this down to the quality of the clips or am I doing something wrong? If it's...

I am starting a large floor tomorrow in 1200 x 1200 tiles and am now thinking to myself should I be using one of these levelling systems kicking about. I have never used them and had no reason or desire to. I've always thought a decent tiler shouldn't need them..... But... A 1200 x 1200 tile...
I need to lay some tiles on a bathroom floor area of about 2m by 2.7m.
The tiles are 300mm square porcelain. The floor is 18mm plywood, marmox, heating mat and SLC.
Despite my best efforts, the floor is sloping slightly. It's about 7mm out over the 2m width.
Can I use a floor levelling system...
Hi all,
Firstly I would like to say this forum has a lot of useful content, I’ve found it extremely helpful over the past few weeks as a diy tiler.
I’ve installed an electric ufh mat and put down a suitable self levelling compound. The compound is pretty much dry and I’ve noticed in some areas...

Good evening,
I have pain stakingly lifted the floor tiles in my kitchen which were VERY well adhered to the subfloor below (which is particle board - not concrete). I am now left with adhesive more or less all over the floor - my question is (if I have the height) if I were to level the floor...

So this is my first time using SLC, it's Mapei ULTRAPLAN 3240. Once I was coming to the end of the mix I notice a sludge at the bottom, I assume because I've mixed too fast *Facepalm. I mixed half a 25kg bag. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm worried the mixed might be too wet now...
