Levelling systems & when to use them - Tile Advice

[James De]

Is that because of the thickness of your tiles? Or do you need a 2mm grout joint? If it’s the latter then you can simply add a spacer between tiles.

Ohhh you can use spacers with them.. hurrah!!!! Thank youuuuuu

I would say yes on a tile that size. If

Why is it, the stuff you actually need like RIGHT NOW you can never get!! Tile cutter to cut 1200’s.. NOPE! Had to trek to northampton and I can’t bloody use the thing. Flat spacers for levelling. NOPE! Mail order only..

Why can’t you use cutter?

Don’t use the clips as spacers use clips thinner than the spacer you use, you can chip the tile when taking them out as I found out a while back

Honestly the tiles are like concrete! I’ve tried various ways and all have failed. Sigma might actually be coming out to take a sample of the tile

How are you cutting them now.

The tiles you are trying to cut are the ones from CTD and I have tiled a wet room lately with the 600x300 tile, they cut no probs at all on my Sigma 3C3M. I do suspect it’s just a case of setting your cutter up right. Have a look online at Sigma there are instructions to set up and cutting/breaking techniques

we need a sigma tips thread.....

There’s probably a few dozen on here already.

To be honest, I only scanned the manual. Need to have sit down and proper read whilst sat on the loo.

 

[acaciaguy]

Any links to sigma manual? Or tips thread would be great

I had a quick look online but couldn’t find anything. Also had a quick look on YouTube. Not much on the height adjustment.

I think I’ll start a thread.
