Levelling clips stop tile lippage. Slot the clip base under two adjoining tiles, insert the Flat Out wedge with the pliers, and the clip pulls the tiles level while the adhesive cures. Break the stem off along the scored line next day and reuse the wedges.
The clip base sets a 1.5mm grout line at the same time. Suits tiles 2mm to 12mm thick on floors or walls: porcelain, ceramic, stone.
