One of the best tiling aids there is...

Very useful to maintain that gap for silicone joint around baths and shower trays and around wall to floor joints.

Does anybody use them ..?

If you have used them then Tradetiler will be happy to supply them to you..


0 - 5 mm Wedges x 500


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

Don't know, can't remember but I will find out for you.

...e-bay...it would not be etiquet for me to post links because of our sponsorship.

Yes russ, but i think mr Tradetiler would get them in if enough interest was there.....

can we have an .OI OI....if you would buy the bigger wedges..

I will certainly buy some next time I am buying "bits and pieces".

I'd go for it if TT had them

I used these yesterday for installing skirting board after I tiled a bathroom floor, I wanted to lift the skirting by just 1mm so when I come to paint I have just that little bit of play knowing the paint won't run into the grout.

Masking tape never works when grout is involved mate, you always get some sort of over spill were it doesn't stick right. I started this game as a painter and decorator some 14 years ago (a flash in the pan for some of you) and If I could offer you guys some advice it would be buy some decent brushes. Purdy brushes are the way forward, been using them for years and no one comes close

Oi Oi

Got mine from tiletrader, use them around baths and showers. Very handy indeed.

Colour Republic, I've done exactly the same thing with the wedges to lift the skirting board. Much easier than mucking around with masking tape, and you achieve a better finish.

As for wedges, use them on virtually every job. Lots of different uses

here are the little wonders in action

there like american express
don't leave home without them

ive had them for years and never used them and used cardboard. whats wrong with me!

Cardboard

you can make them bigger by sliding one up another

Never used them before but bought some yesterday to try out.

I used the ones I got in my floor laminate kit, I thought "I can use these at work" a couple of days later I saw them on tt's site. Never actually bought any off tt yet 'cos I keep forgetting to stick them on my order!
I tend to use random glazing packers,usually by 50 of each from 1mm to 5mm ones

I've used various methods before, from cardboard to screws and panel pins, even chewing a 3mm spacer down to size....now I know there's a proper way

I'd be lost without my wedges,love em immensely,lol.
anyway i got more this week from TT,but i have bigger ones too,i bought them local from a RAIMONDI stockist,raimondi make bigger ones with different colours in single bags(red,green,white).
superb quality,try googling them,not sure where online,well worth having.
