best tile levelling system rubi or raimondi need to know - TilersForums.com

[stephenoneill]

quick from people who have used either one laying some large tiles in the next week or so

Raimonde for us !

 

[White Room]

Hav'nt used any yet but do have some Raimondi on standby....

Lash clips seem ok and quite cheap in comparison to others.

 

[cam_low]

avoid the rubi ones !!!

 

[thompsonbrown]

I always wanted to try the Rubi ones. Just too tight to buy the tool to install them.
What problems did you have using them?

 

[cam_low]

I was given them to try. They are not strong enough to lift large format tiles up to the level. maybe good for 300x300 but if you cant manually level 300x300 then you wanna give up !

Used lash clips a couple of weeks ago on approx. 20m2 of 600 X 600 tiles. First time ever and I was very impressed (did make my sensitive little thumbs a bit sore though squeezing the wedges in)

 

[Qwerty]

I have used LASH clips before which were ok to use. Turn the wedges around to save your thumbs

Somebody mentioned that way at rays geoff. I dont use them but might try them on a job I got coming up.

 

[Mr Tiler]

That post is completely irrelevant to this thread haha..... what size are the tiles mate?

 

[thompsonbrown]

Apparently the water more water in the mix the better the product, and would also assume a fibre mixture would be the strongest hope this helps

sorry Ash haven't got a clue what your on about

 

[Diamond Pool Finishers]

Ramondi here, and i have been sent an american system and tool free of charge and the quality is fantastic........

 

[Mr Tiler]

Thought it was a thread on slc not tile levellers and then read other comments and realised lol

I have the riamondi too. Good but has limitations. If using rapid set, the spacer will set in the adhesive, then can only push down with the wedge. They are strong too, unlike the lash clips from tops, which you will need a metre deep bed to accomadation the curled up ends. I have only used hem on marble floors where you can justify them ( nearly).
still nothing better than a straight edge, a flat for checking lippage, a good toutch and a pair of eyes!
