not all tile leveling systems are created equal. 😂🔨
When you're installing large-format tile, keeping neighboring tiles sitting evenly with each other is a BIG part of getting that clean finished look.
Brad's preference?
The wedge-style leveling clips.
The clip sits at the grout joint, and the wedge pushes through it in one direction to help bring the adjoining tiles into alignment.
Brad likes that straight, one-directional movement because you're not introducing a twisting motion right at the edge of freshly positioned tile.
Compare that with some twist-style leveling systems, where you rotate the cap to tighten everything down.
Brad's concern?
You're literally twisting something against the tile you're trying NOT to move. 😂
That doesn't mean twist systems can't work when they're used correctly. Plenty of installers use different leveling systems successfully.
Brad just prefers the wedge.
Push.
Tighten.
Level.
And please stop moving the tile we JUST spent ten minutes getting perfect. 😂
