Hi

Can someone tell me about Rubi Wedges ie what are they used for etc?

Are they just used instead of normal peg / cross spacers or is there a special use for them??

Thanks alot

Use them as spacers....... very handy on tiles that are of slight size variation. Use normal spacers but now and again you may need to use one of the wedges just to get things back in order!

[garretridge]

the wedges are used for the last tile cut to the floor as the floor will run of so the wedges keep the grout space even!

I use them a lot for the bottom row of wall tiles, especially if the floor substrate is uneven

Ahh yes now i understand, i just double my peg spacers over or use cardboard strips to overcome that problem at the minute so i will definately invest in some of these!

Thanks for your help!

What are tile wedges?

These will save you lots of time and therefore money. Used for wall tiling in situations when you are putting bottom cuts in above any uneven surface like rough concrete etc. Using bits of card board and tile nibblings is OK But takes ages. if nothing is used the tiles keep slipping, especially when they have a thick layer of adhesive on them. The trick is to use a wedge instead but obviously you can only insert it the thickness of a tile. Turning it to the side over comes this problem. (see 'in use' picture) Micro adjust the height up to 5 mm. Use on top of each other to go over 5 mm. Great for marble wall tiling where each piece varies slightly and standard spacers will not work REUSABLE

Ok i have rubi wedges.raimondi wedges.and tradetilers wedges and can say this- the rubi ones are very hard! The tradetiler ones are softer and stay in position really well.the raimondi ones are very good too.they are bit bigger with steeper angle on them so very handy.some review here.lol

Wedges are functional for the purpose they were invented
