Shmox leveling clips - Tile Advice

[Colo]

I have some 1.5 Schmox clips The packet states they are for up to 3mm grout line, but I want a 4mm grout line. Is it ok to use them with a 4mm spacer or can i get thicker clips.
Cheers.
As always I appreciate your advice and time and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

I personally use a smaller width Schmox clip with a spacer. i.e. a 1.5mm clip used in conjunction with a 2mm spacer.

If you just use the clip you stand a greater chance of chipping a tile when you kick or hammer the clip away, as sometimes tile adhesive gets caught up in the clip.

So to answer your question. Yes, you can use a 4mm spacer with your 1.5mm clip.

4mm is quite a wide joint line!

Hi,
Thanks for input. They are 900 porcelain plank floor tiles do you think 3mm would be better.

I’d go with 2mm. Definitely not 4.

I'd go 2 also, 3mm maximum

As above 2mm for me

Thank you all for your advice. I bow to your experience. 2-3mm it is then.
