Leveling System

What size of trowel to use for 12x24 tile?
@@cpccpc1749 1/2" x 1/2" 👍
Landberg Tile TV Hello thanks for replying so fast. Just to follow up, I cannot use 1/4x1/4? Just I don’t want the floor to be too high?What do you think?
What do you mean by collapse?
you prolly dont give a damn but does anyone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot the login password. I appreciate any help you can offer me!
This worked great for redoing the shower/bathtub of my kid's bathroom. ruclips.net/user/postUgkxfiuHoZJo3bgdVPFRxQ-iqPpfbEHl2cYt I didn't like the guide, so I took it off. I just used a fine tipped sharpie on the tile and followed that line. It does make a wet mess, and once I started looking like I wet myself I started wearing a towel and apron while cutting. The blade it came with worked great until we wore it out. It was better than the replacement one we bought. I tried looking for just their blade, but failed. Not really for larger tiles unless you stack stuff on either side to support the tiles. Anyway, would definitley buy again.
One mistake that must be avoided when using tile leveling systems such as this wedge system, is not to over tighten the wedge when pressing it into place. Doing so causes the clip to bend/flex which in turn causes the grout line to widen. It took us alot of time to realise what was causing our lines to be wider in many places. The lesson? Tighten just until you feel the wedge is fastened securely and that's it! Don't force it in any further so that the clip maintains its straight form. This will ensure consistent grout lines throughout your installation.
blueskies I found this the hard way too. Also, tightening causes the bottom flange of the spacer to “fold” like a taco as it’s pulled into the joint. This can actually push the tile up away from the mortar bed.
thankyou!
Absolutely priceless advice for a newbie. Thank you very much.
@@Samlol23_drrich No problem. Also another reason for not over tightening is that sometimes the clips will actually break, then you're screwed because you have already laid your tile but lost your levelling clip. Hate it when that happens.
One more tip: Another cause for having random wider grout lines can be because you may be using tiles that have inconsistent edges with some edges that are tapered (not squared perfectly) and so the result will be varied grout line widths. This is also very annoying. So make sure you inspect the tiles quality before installing.I learned the hard way on one job when I had to shave of all the tile edges to square them of so that I can get a consistent 2mm grout line. Not fun at all.
What about for your first row, i noticed that the tiles tend to move when using spacers
Excellent demo. The clear glass tiles made your points … so transparent. Appreciate the effort.
Thank you so much for showing what's going on behind the tiles!!! This is so much more informational than "just do it because we says so"!
Great demo. detailed and to the point without all the unnecessary blah blah. Thanks
Another quick tip I’ve found helpful is to completely clean out the access thinset that may squirt out around the clips. Not cleaning out the grout lines can cause a lot of trouble when breaking the clips off after installation. This is good practice anyways to ensure there is plenty of grout in between the tile but is very critical around the clips. I’ve found keeping an old toothbrush and a bucket of water next to me works best.
Wonder, straight to the point, no BS, video. Love it. Thanks!
EXCELLENT...the glass shows what happens on the back of tile.
Thank you from all who like things done to last. And look right.
Thank you for watching! 👊
You a certainly the best tile man out there thank you so much for your help
Great video. Brilliant use of glass to illustrate what's happening behind the tile.
Brilliant video, none of the "I'm a great guy" rubbish - straight to the point, clearly explained and the glass tiles just make the whole video work. Excellent.
thanks!
Yup, absolutely right! I like this video - straight to the point, no BS.
Great video. i learned a ton and have a ton more confidence heading over to Menards get my mortar and trowel in about 5 minutes. This was just the video I was looking for to make sure my bathroom tiles were set properly and with zero lippage. Thanks a ton !!!!
I'm happy we could help with your installation! Good luck and thanks for watching 👊
Thanks for the great video on setting floor tiles on thinset. It is very helpful and I appreciate your time and helpful advise.
Best explanation I could find on youtube. Thank you!!!
Very *clear* demonstration! You explained this better than anyone else.
Has nothing to do with leveling system. That was correct and incorrect way of applying the thinset
Lol right
Which they already made a video about. I hope they put more effort into tiling than choosing titles for their videos.
even that was done dishonestly. He didnt apply any down pressure to the first 2 tiles to collapse the ridges. I know directional troweling is important but he fudged the experiment to get his desired result
BACKBUTTER
You noticed also
Awesome video. Thank you. It helped a lot on my living room tile install. Very educational.
Thanks for the kind words! Happy you enjoyed it. 👊
I've done a lot of things but I've never tiled and I'm about to tile my parent's bathroom floor and you literally answered every question I had and a few I didn't even know I should have with this one video. I feel confident that I can nail this job no problem.
Thanks!
So how did it turn out ?👍
Do not back butter that tile it is not professional and may create blotting and cracking
@@user-jl7yb9cw1w The people who built my house 20 years ago did not back butter. That is why there are air gaps when i step on the tiles years later. Very little penetration on the back of the tile.
Thanks King. Its my first time doing this kind of job and this video helped me 100%
Great demonstration. Thank you
Fantastic video...love the cause-and-effect use of glass panes. Very beneficial
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent perception with the transparent glass illustration 👌 nice touch
Thank you very much!
Very helpful to see through the tiles! Thanks!
Thank you. Very good video, it did help me a lot.
Thanks for this from a master tilesetter that is still learning new techniques after 15 years.
If you would backbutter the glass you would have even more coverage and bonding.
But if you did that it might have been hard to see what's going on so I understand why you left it out.
That happens when you pretending that you know the job hahah funny video.
He mentions this in the video that’s why he left it out because viewers would not be able to see what was going on
Ugh where was this video 2 weeks ago when I needed it! damn you google algorithm! thanks for the tips
Excellent! And I agree back buttering would have yielded nearly 100%.
Thank you so much for clarifying the ceramic installation
Thanks bro 4 make a very useful video.it's helpful for me because im a tile fixer in uae.thanks again
You guys have made me a better tile guy and I thank you very much. Nothing but love
Thanks for the comment my man! Tile on 👊
Very concise, very informative.
Excellent, excellent video. Thank you.
THAT is how you do it! Thanks, man!
thanks for tips! very educational
Great video many thanks.
What size spacing between the tiles would you recommend on floor tiles in a bathroom. The tiles I am using are 600mm x 300mm and 8mm thick.
Thanks Chris
Professional tile installers in our area still swirl the thin set and eyeball the level. Amazing.
Great video! Very informative!
Good demo thank you
Thank you sir! 👊
Great video. Thank you
Great instructional video
Awesome video, I like how you used glass panels to show how well the tile will bond. What I learned from this video is that if the thinset is not applied properly then the tile leveling system is almost ineffective.
Yes! That's exactly what I was trying to demonstrate. You should check out my how to use tile leveling systems on walls video I recently posted, it's a good one! 👊
Yes!
You got the point, others missed.
The way you trowel is the way you set the tile. No tile leveling system can work againdt poorly trowelled cement.
@@LandbergTileTV How much you earn for a day or oer hour?
Great video! Thanks for sharing!
Short and sweet, good content, thanks
Glad you liked it!
Spot bonding is needed during certain situations.
So helpful thank you
Thnx. Great 👍🏼 tutorial
Excellent video bro...nice,simple and understanding. #no-long-talk
This video was more about troweling than it was using a leveling system like the title says
Good point Travis, I could have gone over more info on leveling systems. Thanks for giving me a good idea for the next video! 👊
Incorrect troweling is a not a wrong way to use clips.
Sort of like a video on the correct way to use screws, and the content covers adhesive application.
Sorry for beating the dead horse.
He was trying to point out that the leveling system works better with throweling the right way so the ridges can collapse properly. At least that's what I learned from this video.
I think he's trying to show that the leveling system is not meant to compensate for poor trowelling technique
Hey Guys, there’s a good possibility that it was a video about all the above. All of your thoughts encompassed into one video. 😉
Porfin alguien q muestra la realidad de estos productos
great information
you have good trick n review,, thanks for video
Thank you, I'm happy you enjoyed It! 👊
Dropping truth! Great video Sir!
Thanks man! Thought it would be a cool video to make!
helpful, thank u
Great demo.
Awesome video, quick and informative! Do the back butter trowel lines need to be going in the same direction as the floor lines as well?
We only skim coat the back of the back of the tile and trowel with ridges on the floor. Thanks for the watch and comment! 👊
Most informative video on the subject matter on RUclips. Well done, visual demonstration was fantastic- very informative.
Thank you sir! Appreciate the kind comment. 👊
Going a bit far now mate
Thank you for that
and thank you for watching!
Great short guidance
Thanks for watching! 👊
Verry verry good,thanks
I did the correct method for my first tile job👍
Iv been cleaning carpet, tile and grout professionally for the last few years. Looking to finally start my own business in Florida installing and cleaning tile and grout. Seems pretty straight forward to me. Iv never installed a single tile yet, but this makes perfect sense to me.
In florida!??! Tile installation doesnt pay, people here are always broke. And if you do that back buttering waste of time u wont last in the business, at least in fl
Come to canada its 3-12$ a sqft vancouver to b exact 8$ is what id say most charge u can make 20k+ a month
@@ecom300 nova Scotia 3 bucks.supply mortar and delivery.
@@stevedimock3001 wow thats cheap down in bc they charge 8-12 ive even heard ppl charging 20 a sqft only grout incl
@@ecom300 I been doing this for 35 years the only thing that's gone up is the size of the tile and amount of mortar and effort. Oh and the warranty to 3 years with 3 8ths ply over 5 8ths chipboard that's swelled and delamenated from rain and weather.
It looks like green is your favorite color I never seen lime green gloves before
within the first 30 seconds I liked the video. Before the end I subscribed and ringed the bell
Thank you.
A great video about how to apply thinset. As others have said, this was all about how to apply thinset and push down on the tile to collapse the ridges and nothing about using the wedges. The only useful tip about using wedges that you did show was removing the thinset between the tiles. You did it but did not talk about it.
Thanks Dexter :)
Nice video! Thx!!
You're welcome, thanks for the view and comment! 👊
Kinda funny how you didn't push the first tiles down as hard as you did on the second one's where you used directional trialing. 🤔
You failed Need to back butter all tile before setting tile in troweled area. Next
@@bryanthomas5275 he addresses this if you were paying attention. Second he's using glass for a reason and back buttering would have taken away from the demonstration of what happens to the ridges.
kinda funny how its very obvious your still doing it the wrong way!
Love this!!!!
Emmy Braxtly
Thank you! 👊
Hi .. I have removed the old floors from a bathroom, around 5 square meter. There was a celotex (50mm), sitting on a concrete slab. I repeated the same model, but I added a membering first then 50mm celotex then 12mm Hardibacker. I fixed the hardibacker with screws to the main concrete slab through the celotex. Any potential problem with that? Any advice before tiling?
I love your vids short sweet and spot on! Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing. You’re a BOSS at laying tile!
Thank you sir! Appreciate the comment 👊
is pliar required necessary for pushing wedges? or can we make it tight with our hand by pushing them?
Good job sir exilent well updat
I already put some tiles without backbuttering, can I do the rest of my tiles backbuttering style, or my existing tiles will sit too low??
Tiles are 24x24
Do you use these leveling pieces by edges ? If not , does tile stay even leveled if u don’t use them ball wall edge?
At 3:25 and 3:31 you spread the adhesive with the trowel, did you add any adhgesive or just spread what you have on the board please?
Awesome. Thankyou👍🇪🇬 🇪🇬💪
Cheers😊
1:56 rhythmic spotbonding! Nice
super A1 keep it up.
Thank u...
Great video and explanation! Subscribing now.
Awesome, thank you!
Glad I watched this vid😎🤙🤘🖖✌
Thanks for watching! 👊
This is definetly the only correct way to do it properly!
Yes sir! Thanks for watching 👊
Not is Not
how to make slight incline/decline (balcony ) for water movement ?
Hi, should we let the first tile dry before installing the next tiles? If don't, will the the first tile move after we tighten the wedges?
AWESOME!! Would have been even better if you showed how to use the levelers for those beginners. How do you uninstall the levers?
Great video, thanks for this! Do you have any tips for using the leveling system when installing 3”x12” tiles? I’m tackling that this weekend. Thanks!
We have definitely used them for that smaller size. I would recommend against a pliers set and only use your fingers. Keep in mind, you'll use a ton of clips. Good luck and thanks for the watch!
I purchased 200 clips and 100 wedges. The bathroom is 35 sq ft. The clips aren’t cheap, but will be worth the cost if everything comes out level!
In which direction do you backbutter?
Oh great - so I found another channel (this one) that I must subscribe to.
I give up - subscribed. 😅
To level tile on a 3x5 sheet is a lot different than finding a high spot and going off it in a 300sq’ room
This is indeed so, while the tile leveling systems are NOT meant to fully compensate for uneven floors, some help on how to deal with such floors would be appreciated
Or 1000 🤣
Wow bro how much you have changes in 3 years. You look like a completely different guy. Still the 🐐 tho
Very informative, thank you! :)
What about some tiller use watery cement to tiles.. especially you tube video from Vietnam.. does it okay?
Hi, i would like ask you please.? If you need install porcelain 60cmx60cm what's the standard space between porcelain less than 2mm or more, same question to the porcelain 60cmx120cm
After you Directional trowel whatever size trowel you use your supposed to move the tile 3x the distance of the notch to knock down the ridges to get your coverage. Back buttering helps only with transfer not with coverage
This is more of a video on how to trowel. Was looking for more details on how to level them properly
I have lots of videos on leveling systems, here is my playlist link:
ruclips.net/video/oo1cVAy8wxc/видео.html
What if you need a larger 1/4" grout line?
What thinset is needed to make sure its a clean break? Thank you, for the video
Thinset doesn't matter, make sure you clear out the edge of the tile before setting and keep thinset away from the clip base👊👊👊
