Tile levelling system
Tile leveling system
The tile leveling system is used to level the surface when laying ceramic tiles on floors and walls. It is compatible with tiles with a thickness of 3-12 mm, while it is easy for both experienced tilers and beginners. Without its use, there will be uneven laying, which entails problems such as the appearance of mold and mildew between the joints, the risk of injury, destruction of tiles due to operational loads, etc.
The system consists of several elements:
- Wedge. It is a reusable accessory made of durable plastic that can be reused. Thanks to him, the tiles are clamped effortlessly by hand. Wedges are sold in packs of 100-750 pieces and are calculated depending on the area of installation and dimensions of the tiles.
- Clip (base, clamp). 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 A SVP SYSTEM FOR TILES
Thanks to the SVP, tiles are laid faster and more efficiently. It is consumed sparingly: the upper part is reused, the lower part is inexpensive. Even a person without experience can cope with it. It is versatile and fits all tile sizes.
The SVP system for laying tiles has many advantages:
- suitable for reuse;
- provides smooth seams;
- evenly distributes glue without unevenness and voids;
- prevents tiles from sinking;
- increases the speed of laying;
- tightly fixes the tiles 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 become unusable. If you are interested in an option with an optimal price-quality ratio, you can buy the TM Plitkom tile leveling system. It is made of durable polypropylene, creates uniform joints between tiles and is compatible with all types of tiles and porcelain stoneware.
Styling features
Laying tiles using 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 clips break off completely, leaving only the base area under the tile.
Using a high-quality 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.
