Mlt

[Spud]

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

Bet that cost.....

@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.

 

[hmtiling]

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.

 

[Italy]

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

 

[Italy]

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

 

[Bill]

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.

 

[WetSaw]

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

 

[hmtiling]

@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.

 

[Spud]

Clips are an option not a requirement and won't make a poor tiler a good one , nothing can replace years of experience but they do make a difficult job easier and all pros want their work to be the best it possibly can be .anything ,tool, method or device that can assist with that is a positive not a negative

 

[Italy]

ok,ok, ok
understand all
be like in italy. lol

Yes I agree with you how can Gary call himself a tiler when he has to use clips to produce this
www.gbwalsh.co.uk and you can lay plank tiles without them. you are truly the best tiler I have ever seen in my life and would like to offer to labour for you free of charge just so I can learn some off the skills it takes to throw down some crappy planks and brag that it is hi end work.

Brilliant reply!

Leveling clips have there place in every tilers tool box, I've just finished a wetroom in 1000x500's, all walls were dot and dabbed and plasterers done a great job apart from one small dip in the wall, the clips got me out of a whole heap of trouble there, only used half a dozen on the whole room but wouldn't be without em in the van..
