Raimondi levelling pegs tested on a recent job - TilersForums.com

[afright]

I think the ATR system is very pricey for bits of plastic.

I have a brother who works for an inventive engineering company, I must show him these clips etc to see what they make of it from that angle.
Crazy price for them all IMO.
I have some Genesis ones but haven't tried them enough really.

these maybe good for a floor that is completly flat and dosnt need any building up but again i just dont see the need for these as its not as easy as just sticking the tile down and screwing these pegs on but if it helps folk out then cool

Hey, Glasgow tiler I have been able to try on a small area where I needed to build up by 25mm or so, the clips were fine but I agree they are not for everyone, on large commercial work completely impractical on a financial basis.

One thing to add I have been able to use the wedges three times over so far but I think that probably about it with them as the serrated top edges are showing wear now.

Again I would like to stress so far only tried on porcelain so can not give a view on other tiles i.e travertine etc.

For me the pegs are not there to level the floor they lessen the chance of lippage when the adhesive is drying back. The clips will not pull a tile up or down by huge amounts so the adhesive contact should not be broken as the clips will break if you squeeze the wedge in with to much force

Well done Jeff ! and thanks for the write -up from a truly independent source M8, as so many write -up have to be taken with a pinch or bucket of salt as they are bias in the fact that the writers are getting freebies .....lol

first thing i would buy when i use the lévl-system is a little cordless skrewdriver.

i am a bit lost on why these clips are needed for stone
we have had instances where porcelain flexes and can see the point in this instance possibly although with care we can avoid lippage.
stone does not flex in same way and can only think that if you applied these clips on a stone that does not flex then you are a causing other stesses and possibly forcing the tile off the bed laid.

Hi johny, I didn't really need the clips on this job, but I chose to use them!
They don't cause any stress they just hold the tile in place while the adhesive goes off, once the wedge is removed it's only the adhesive holding them down.
Hope this helps

I have always been taught to read the floor/wall substrates before tiling with straight/feather edge etc.. and prep before if required, surely we can serrate a floor/wall and fix tiles without lippage . Personally i don't think its for me at this moment in time.
