[QUOTE="Jeff the tiler, post: 657058"] Hey all. I said I would post my experience using Raimondi floor levelling pegs. Got a complete set from Kwik splt what i thought would do the job for a 34 metre floor using 60 x 30 porcelain tiles, so 500 3mm base clips and 200 wedges. I would say the cost was was around the £80 mark. Sounds expensive but purchased with a Pull rapid washboy and a few other bits and so got some discount which helped. So new pliers boxes of clips and wedges and away I went. Initially broke a few clips by not getting the pressure correct on the pliers and some of the clips seemed to snap of their own accord which was not great. Then over time i got the feel of the pressure and how many clicks [3 generally]you could push the wedge into the clip [serated top edge of the wedge clicks as you push it into the clip] I started to really see the benefit of the system. I lifted a couple of tiles to check if it was creating air gaps but it seemed fine. An important point is the clips are there to make slight adjustment in height so you stil have to get the tile pretty level first. if you try to pull up to much difference the clips will break as the suction of adhesive creates to much pressure. I would say the main benefit was that over the 34 metres I did not have to lift a tile to re bed and over the the whole job would say I saved a good few hours in time making sure everyhting was perfectly flat and level. So just in man hours I would say they paid for themselves. I know some will be reading this saying i can get a perfectly flat floor without these but honestly, and i am not promoting Raimondi as there are others out there, they certainly help me do the job quicker than by the traditinal method of eye, straight edge and spirit level. I am old school and quite reluctant to change but this is a product i will definately use again on domestic price work even if i can not pass on the cost just in man hours saved it covers the cost. I am trying them on 60 x 60 next week and, also have some Australian Atr levelling pegs so hopefully will be able to post a thread comparing them next week. If you have any questions let me know and i will try to answer if I can [ATTACH]48124.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]48125.vB[/ATTACH][ATTACH]48126.vB[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
