I have just recieved the rolls royce of lash clip systems today the MLT , this is very popular with some of the top tile guys in the U.S.A and I am looking forward to trying it out on my next large format tiling job MLT Systems

@GaryTheTiler got any pics / link?
Why are they so good compared to other's and will you be doing a review when you use them?

 

[Spud]

The guy that devised the MLT invented the Tuscan levelling system this is the latest one he has come up with I will do a review when I get a chance to use it , it is very well thought out and designed by a tiler ,the tensioning straps have very close teeth/ ratchets on them so gives a bit more control than some of the other lash systems , like the Tuscan and rubi clips they pull from above so don't knock the tiles of square when tightening up I have been using raimondi for years and like it so am looking forward to trialling the MLT

Can you imagine using those on a shopfitting job and telling the foreman that he can't cover the floor up even thought the tiles have set.........sometimes I wonder how you lot can call yourself tilers.

Think they're more for large format stuff. High end residential maybe? Wouldn't think you'd need them bashing out a Spar or Tesco express

 

[Bill]

I do high end stuff........ jeepers every floor prep is like a billiard table now anyway.

They are products for those not tiler
true @3_fall ?

each head their own ideas, I challenge any tiler lay 600x1200 or 200 x 900 or the like with no leveling ...... even with perfect bottom.
there is no comparison with leveling straighten tiles non-planar. Money well spent, finite problems tiles distorted
of course I will be half trowel, not a professional, but the night I sleep tranquillo.in peace with myself knowing that I did the best I could fare.amen

900x200 no clips...........

 

[hmtiling]

I've never used any levelling system before and done loads of plank floors. I'll be having a go with the Raimondi or Rubi ones in the new year on 1200x2400 porcelain. I think they'll be needed. Each to their own.

By 'eck, you boys'll be telling me next you're using lasers instead of water levels and "adhesive" instead of sand and cement. I suspect that you're using new fangled electrical wizardry to cut tiles as well

@3fall was shocked at me not mixing slc with a stick

900x200 no clips...........

Neither did I for these planks but the option is there if needed....

I've been anti-clips for years but this year I've changed my view. Some still have the potential to lift tiles from the adhesive bed, and all potentially allow idiots to make a nice looking job with spot fixing. But on large format and very large format they have a definite place now in my van.
