Porcelain wood plank tile (waxman) - Tile Advice

[Fitwidge]

Has anybody installed the wood plank tiles from waxmans?

I’ve been setting them out but theres lippage on every tile at either end also!
(Floor is level btw)
So just wondering if there supposed to be like than to give it a ‘plank effect’ if that doesn’t sound daft.
ha!

Raimondi rls or similar. It's not uncommon for planks to be bowed. Put 2 face to face to see how bad they are. The clips will pull the bow out of the tile.

A lot of suppliers are suggesting a maximum bond of one third for wood planks. My local supplier has great big warning signs on the collection tickets suggesting this.

Obviously some brands are worse than others. Some are really good.

Clipped you can bond it however you want usually

Just like this one I finished at the weekend...... uses levelling clips and wedges.

Cheers gents, I don’t do many of these floors so was unaware that the clips would bring them together that much. I tend to push LVT when it comes to wood effect stuff.

These particular clips are Mustangs but I will use any bar the Vitrex curved ones.

Ebay is your best bet quick and cheap - China even cheaper but take longer to arrive.
