Laying tiles with TLS

The tile leveling system is used to level the surface when laying ceramic tiles on floors and walls. It is compatible with 3-12 mm thick tiles and is easy to handle for both experienced tilers and beginners. Without the use of a SVP, there will be uneven laying, which entails such problems as the appearance of mold and mildew between the joints, the risk of injury, destruction of tiles due to operational loads, etc.

The tile leveling system consists of several elements:

1. Wedges for leveling tiles. These are reusable accessories made of durable plastic that can be reused. Thanks to them, the tiles are clamped effortlessly by hand. Wedges for leveling tiles are sold in packs of 100-750 pieces and are calculated depending on the area of installation and dimensions of the tiles.
2. The foundation. This is a disposable plastic element that allows you to level the surfaces of the tiles flush with the level and get the same gap between the tiles. The “technical seam” provides a precise lift-off at the base.

Reasons to buy SVP for tiles

Thanks to the SVP, tiles are laid faster and more efficiently. It is used sparingly: the upper part is reused, the lower part is inexpensive. Even a person without experience can cope with it, it is universal and suitable for tiles of any size.

The SVP system for laying tiles has many advantages:

• recyclable;
• provides smooth seams;
• evenly distributes glue without unevenness and voids;
• prevents tiles from sinking;
• increases styling speed;
• fixes the tiles tightly and prevents them from shifting during drying.

When choosing a suitable option, you need to take into account the quality of the SVP elements. Cheap samples from thin plastic do not cope with the assigned functions and quickly deteriorate. If you are interested in an option with an optimal price-quality ratio, you can choose clamps for laying tiles TM Plitkom. They are made of durable polypropylene, create uniform tile joints and are compatible with all types of tiles and porcelain stoneware.

Styling features

Laying tiles using a 1.5 mm SVP does not require special skills. To do this, it is enough to clean the work area from debris, apply a layer of glue on it and distribute it evenly. Then you need to install the first tile, securing it along the edges of the SVP. Use the same method to lay the tiles throughout the entire working area and leave them until the glue is completely dry. After that, the wedges are removed from the connectors, the base clamps break off completely, leaving only the base area under the tile.

Using a high-quality reusable tile leveling system, everyone can quickly and professionally lay the tiles on their own, the main thing is to observe the temperature regime in the room and follow the instructions. Thanks to it, you can improve the appearance of the room, as well as extend the life of the tile, preventing its chips and cracks, the appearance of which occurs when air bubbles enter the adhesive layer or the presence of differences in laying height.
