Achieve professional tiling results with our high-quality range of tiling tools. 

Laying tiles, whether ceramic, natural stone, or porcelain, requires precision and care to ensure a perfectly smooth and level surface. Uneven tiles, often referred to as 'lippage', can be visually unappealing and a safety hazard, causing tripping or sharp, protruding edges. This is where professional tile levelling tools become essential, transforming a challenging task into a manageable, accurate process.

Our range of tile levelling systems is specifically designed to eliminate lippage and ensure a consistent grout joint width across the tiled area. These tools are indispensable for tiling professionals and dedicated DIY enthusiasts alike, aiming for a flawless, high-quality finish on floors and walls.

A typical tile levelling system consists of three main components, each playing a crucial role in achieving a level tile installation:

1. Tile Clips (or Spacers): Tile spacers are disposable components inserted under the edges of adjacent tiles. They serve the dual purpose of acting as uniform tile spacers to set the desired grout line width and providing the base for the levelling process.

2. Tile Wedges (or Straps): Tile straps are reusable components that can be pushed or pulled through the tile clip to engage the two adjoining tiles. The tapered design of the wedge exerts downward pressure, forcing the tile edges to align perfectly and remain level.

3. Tile Pliers (or Tile Tensioning Tools): Used to consistently apply the correct amount of force to the wedges. While some systems can be installed by hand, a dedicated tensioning tool ensures uniform pressure across all tiles, speeding up the installation process and reducing the risk of hand strain.

Benefits of Using a Tile Levelling System

Utilising a tile levelling system offers several advantages, including:

• Eliminates Lippage: This is the primary benefit, ensuring that all adjacent tile edges are flush, resulting in a smooth, professional surface that is easy to clean and aesthetically pleasing.

• Consistent Grout Lines: The clip component serves as an accurate spacer, ensuring uniform grout joint widths throughout the installation.

• Faster Installation: By keeping tiles locked in a perfectly level position, tile systems significantly reduce the need for constant checking, adjustment, and re-laying, saving significant time.

• Reduces Fatigue: Consistent results are achieved with less effort, allowing installers to work more efficiently on large-scale projects.

• Prevents Tile Movement: As the tile adhesive cures, the system holds the tiles firmly in place, preventing 'slumping' or movement that can occur, particularly with larger, heavier format tiles.
