Raimondi Tile Spacer Leveling System

The most important as well as the most daunting aspect of setting tiles is to achieve perfect leveling. A common hindrance faced while setting larger format, thicker tiles as well as un gauged and thin tiles is the uneven floor foundation, which makes leveling all the more difficult. As a result, tiles that seemed leveled during installation often have unevenness in the height, once the thinset or adhesive cures, which is unappealing. This can, however, be overcome with the help of ‘Raimondi Tile Spacer Leveling System’ that ensures perfect leveling of the tiles. Fabricated using quality raw material, these spacers are durable, cost effective and easy to use. Not only does it result in proper leveling of the tiles, but also facilitate the tile setting process.

Achieving a smooth level surface, the Raimondi leveling spacers can be used for tiles with varied dimensions. For a tile thickness of minimum 1/8", maximum 1/2", a minimum 3/32" joint is required, which at times is difficult to achieve. However, with the help of the spacers it is no longer a daunting task and can easily be accomplished in just few minutes. Depending upon your requirement, you can select amongst the different Raimondi leveling system kits that include leveling wedges, spacer clips and installation pliers.

One does not have to be a well-qualified professional to use the Raimondi leveling spacers. These spacers are quick and easy to set & remove, and homeowners can do it on their own, without any professional guidance. In case you plan to install tiles on your own, you can make use of these spacers for proper leveling of the tiles. After spreading the tile adhesive, you need to insert the support underneath the tiles on all the sides. In case of larger and thicker tiles, it is advisable to use two support instead of one, on all four sides. Once properly done, set the tiles over the adhesive, and to strengthen the bond you can beat it with a rubber mallet. Next, you need to insert the wedges into the support, which can be easily done by using the special traction-adjustable pliers. However, you need to exercise caution not to pass the breaking point. After the tile adhesive sets and cures, the leveling support needs to be removed, which can be done with the help of special traction-adjustable pliers or rubber mallet. Instead of using these tools, you can easily remove these supports by simply kicking them with your feet, but make sure to beat parallel to the joint.

Not only is the Raimondi leveling spacer easy to set and remove, but has various other features that have made it a preferred choice of many, especially tile installers. Consuming less time and effort, it holds the tiles firmly in place. One does not have to worry about the voids or coverage as the Raimondi leveling spacer enhances the adhesion of the thinset to the tiles. Rather than pulling tiles from the thinset, these are pushed into it, which is easier. Since it is quick and easy, it greatly improves the overall quality of the tile installing project.

WaleTale Vacuum Attachment Dustless Mixing

WaleTale Vacuum Attachment is an important tool which every tile setter should have. This effective tool helps in eliminating dust at the time of mixing mortars and grouts in buckets. It is a well known fact that inhaling dust is harmful as it can lead to various health problems, like eye irritation, sneezing and coughing. Not only does dust worsens the existing heart disease, but also damages the lung tissues and aggravates lung diseases, like asthma. To prevent such scenario, it is advisable to use the WaleTale Vacuum Attachment for avoiding these health problems.

Some people do not realize the seriousness of the issue, unless they themselves suffer from these problems. Dust sometimes contains free crystalline silica that can lead to chronic lung disease silicosis, which causes irritation in the respiratory system. People develop this lung disease on continuous exposure to crystalline silica for a period of five years or more.

The invisible silica dust is so light that remains suspended in the air for a long time and hence travel long distances in air, affecting many individuals, especially tile setters. This health problem is incurable as well as irreversible, where the condition continues to deteriorate even when the exposure stops. Hence, you must take appropriate measures to avoid generation of dust to eliminate the chances of developing this lung disease. Furthermore, prolonged and repeated inhalation of dust can also lead to lung cancer, which can be fatal.

Along with minimizing chances of developing health problems, WaleTale Vacuum Attachment also provides various other benefits. Since it eliminates dust, the surrounding remains clean and you do not have to worry about cleaning the work area after completing the job. As it is compact and effective, you can easily carry and use the WaleTale Vacuum Attachment anywhere, even indoors. It is also not very expensive and suits everyone’s pocket.

WaleTale Vacuum Attachment has also gained popularity because of its various other attributes, like durability, optimum performance, and no maintenance requirements. Moreover, the WaleTale Vacuum Attachment is easy to use; you just have to attach it to the bucket and forget about dust. It effectively pulls dust and does not allow it to escape from the bucket. The attachment sucks up the dust generated while pouring the powder into the bucket, without affecting the powder flow into the bucket.

Many people argue that one can use dustless mortars instead of WaleTale Vacuum Attachment, but such mortars do not eliminate dust completely. Furthermore, dustless mortars are more expensive than the effective and efficient vacuum attachment. Few other people would suggest that you can use mask while doing the job. Though it is effective in protecting you from various health hazards caused due to dust, but it does not protect others on the job site. People working around you will inhale dust and subsequently develop health hazards. Hence, be considerate and responsible; use WaleTale Vacuum Attachment which completely eliminates dust, thereby protecting you as well as those around you.

Owing to all these benefits, more and more people are increasingly using the WaleTale Vacuum Attachment while mixing mortars and grouts for tile setting.

Roto Wedge the Evolution of the Wedge

Wedge is a mechanical device that is extensively being used for providing space between tiles, masonry, wood flooring, as well as other similar jobs. Over the years, wedge has evolved into a more dynamic Roto-Wedge Spacer. This is being preferred by most of the professionals as it is efficient and easy to use. You just have to rotate the Roto-Wedge spacer in order to achieve the perfect spacing needed. This device is used for holding an object in place, lifting an object, and for separating two objects, or different portions of one object. By using a Roto-Wedge spacer, you can save significant amount of time and effort, which can be utilized for accomplishing other tasks.

Earlier, one used ordinary wedges, shims, wood and cardboard scraps for spacing that were not effective. These used to hit the walls or collide with the substrate before being utilized completely. For overcoming these problems, tile setters used to stack wedges, or used spacers in conjunction with wedges, or sometimes even resort to using cardboard, folded into numerous layers. These methods not only demanded time and effort, but were also inaccurate, unreliable and unstable, resulting in unequal spacing. Additionally, these often used to move or fallout, subsequently leading to job failures. However, with the development of Roto-Wedge spacer, tile setters found an effective tool, which had none of the limitations of ordinary wedges.

The rotating design of the Roto-Wedge spacer prevents it from hitting the wall or colliding with the substrate; unlike the ordinary wedges. Owing to its unique design, all you need to do is rotate the Roto-Wedge spacer to achieve the desired spacing. As compared to ordinary wedges, the task can be completed in fraction of time; thereby, one can accomplish more in same amount of time. Moreover, this fast and efficient device increases productivity as it aids in completing the job with unmatched accuracy, stability, and speed.

The only effective and efficient product available for masonry, the Roto-Wedge spacer is available in two variants; viz. Roto-Wedge Spacer Small and Roto-Wedge Spacer Large. Depending upon the requirements, you can select either of these durable and tough Roto-Wedge Spacers. The dynamic wedges are nearly 3 inches long, which facilitate finer adjustment than ordinary wedges. Additionally, the Roto-Wedge spacers create flatter and stable surface owing to their angle, which is less than half as steep as ordinary wedges. Both these spacers can be used for creating a wide spacing, varying from 1/16 to 7/8 inches . Since these Roto-Wedge spacers are never buried in the grout joint, these can easily be removed after completion of the task.

A Roto-Wedge spacer provides perfect spacing solution, due to which it is widely being used for tiles, stones and masonry. Hence, if you are still using the ordinary wedges that do not provide effective spacing and adversely affect your job; you need to try the Roto-Wedge spacer. Not only is it affordable, efficient and easy to use, it is the only perfect spacing solution that helps you
