Re: lash clips form tradetiler
I recomend them, I do a fair wack of big porcelain and these save me time, I hate coming back the next day to find 1 or 2 have sunk .
As long as u use a big notch and back butter u wont have any voids.
Also push the tile down very firmly, then use the clips to level.

Si..
They also stop the tiles from dropping if the adhesive bed slumps.....which it can do sometimes..

Re: lash clips form tradetiler
the trick is to always use the correct notch size for the tile size, ie the bigger the tile the deeper the notch also leveling the floor with leveling compound will help, i also use a tavy puck which helps with leveling and clicks if lippage is present when pushed across the tile edge onto the next tile.
there is a few lippage tools out there from Raimondi, Tuscan leveling system etc the lash seems to be the cheap alternative. seems to me if you have trouble with voids then you need to look at your trowel..i use marshall town 1/2 and 3/8 by 1/4, a 10mm raimondi and a hofman 18mm u also i back butter and mix the standard set so it is soft and easy to trowel i only use rapid on small jobs that need to be done n finished in a day.

TAVY Tile Puck
It clicks when you run it over the join in your tile, i use my finger to feel for any lips as my finger is free

Re: lash clips form tradetiler
a tavey puck is a level, put it in the center of the floor tile and it will show you if it level....or not!
TAVY Tile Puck
this is the tuscan leveling system (very expensive tho)
First truly simple tile leveling system which virtually eliminates lippage, ideal for large format tile: marble, slate, porcelean, granite
more overpriced systems
RLS - Raimondi Leveling System
i will say this (tongue in cheek) this product is not needed if the wall or floor is flat ,level ,plumb but as this is almost non existent then these products work well, the only time i have seen a perfectly level wall or floor is when tilers screed with dry pack on the floor(over battens) and a lime sand cement on walls (w/battens) but this method is dying out even in the USA Hardi backer, weedi, durock n custom easy board etc has taken over due to the cost and ease of use and all you need is a screw gun,recommended screws,levels and shims along with fibretape and jointing compound(flexi adhesive)..haha try putting that to a customer with the final price you would be on the dole in no time so i guess the old plaster board n skim will have to do so i guess these leveling systems can be very effective ...shoot..the yanks dont like mastics (acrylics) its usually thinset and at $30 plus a tub i agree and only used it once when it was on clearout at my local Daltile..lol
here is a nice video of the raimondi product in action

I have a Tavy Puck. Don't actually use it much though. More fun to slide across somebody else's floor to find the lippage.:lol:
I do like the TLS. The advantage over the other systems is the gun that pulls the straps. Allows you to adjust the tension you need. And easy to remove the next day. You can reuse the caps but obviously have to buy new straps.
Here is a link to an extremely long thread regarding the TLS on the John Bridge Forum.
