Product Description – Ceramic Tile Leveler (Ceramic Tile Leveler)
There are many parameters in the topic of ceramic tile installation that, if observed, will make the ceramic tile more beautiful and better usable after installation. One of these important and sensitive parameters is the leveling of the ceramic tile with respect to each other. It has been customary in the past to level or align the ceramic tile with respect to each other by first pouring mortar or tile adhesive on the surface, then placing the tile on it, and then striking the surface with a plastic hammer and continuously checking with a plumb line to level them with respect to each other.
This method of aligning tiles and ceramics has disadvantages, including a significant waste of time, as well as the movement of tiles and ceramics, or so-called sliding due to impact. To increase the quality of tiling and facilitate their leveling relative to each other, plastic parts called tile levelers or tile levelers have been produced and supplied. The leveling spacer consists of two parts: the leveling clip and the leveling wedge, which is the male wedge and the female clip. When tiling, the tile leveling clips are placed between the ceramic tiles and locked by the wedge, causing the tiles and ceramics to be completely and accurately leveled relative to each other, completely eliminating the need for hammer blows and the use of a plumb line, and creating a smooth and even surface that is much better than traditional methods.
The leveling system can also be used to level various types of flooring, such as parquet. In addition to being an important principle in tiling and making the tiling surface more beautiful, aligning tiles and ceramics with each other will also have other advantages, including the absence of water accumulation during washing in the nitty-gritty areas between two tiles, which will prevent dirt from clogging and dulling the joint areas between two tiles.
The leveling wedge should be selected and used according to the size of the ceramic tile. Small wedges are used for thin-thick ceramic tiles and large wedges are used for installing thicker ceramic tiles.
Tile levelers are very useful in installing ceramic tiles, which require high precision and coordination. Using levelers helps to ensure that the surface of the tiles is completely smooth and without inconsistencies, which makes the final result of the work much more beautiful and professional.

Consumption of ceramic tile leveler
Bed leveling consumption
What is the consumption rate of the bed leveler?
The amount of ceramic tile and tile joint used in tiling is determined by the dimensions of the ceramic tile and the surface area. Smaller ceramic tiles require fewer joints, but larger tiles require more ceramic joints on each side.
- Number of tile levels required for dimensions up to 30*30 cm:
The number of aligners required for small tiles, such as 30×30 tiles or smaller, is one aligner in each corner of the tile. Note that if one aligner is placed in each corner of the tile, the aligner must be placed in the middle of each face.
- Number of tile levels required for dimensions 40*40 to 50*50 centimeters:
For ceramic tiles up to 50 x 50 cm, the number of aligners used is 2 on each side of the tile. It is recommended that the aligners for these dimensions of ceramic tiles be placed 10 cm away from the edges of the ceramic tiles.
- Number of tile levels required for dimensions 60*60 to 80*80 cm:
The number required for these dimensions is 3 on each face. In this way, two parallel ones are placed 10 centimeters from each edge and the third parallel one is placed in the center of the desired face.
- Number of tile levels required for dimensions larger than 80*80 cm:
In larger sizes, an equal number of ceramic tiles should be used for every 20 to 25 centimeters of the length of each side.
Ceramic Tile Leveling Tips

What are the essential tips when using a flat tile level?
- Note that you should choose the level according to the thickness of the ceramic tile or parquet. Usually, medium and large levelers are used for ceramic tile and parquet and small levelers are used for wooden floor tiles. Note that using a large leveler is not suitable for low thicknesses and the wedge inside the clips will not be fully locked. On the other hand, using a small leveler is not suitable for high thicknesses because the wedge cannot perform properly for leveling.
- Be sure to allow enough time for the mortar or adhesive under the tiles and ceramics to set and dry, then proceed to break the ceramic alignment clips. If the mortar under the work has not yet dried, the tiles may sink and slip if they move on the surface, which will disrupt the alignment and order of the tiles relative to each other.
- Whenever possible, use a wrench or special alignment pliers to lock the clips and wedges together. Aligning the ceramic by hand is not possible at all, as there will not be enough pressure to apply to the surface to align. On the other hand, placing the wedge in the clips by hammering is also not a good idea. Because in addition to not aligning the surface perfectly, there is a possibility of breaking the clips due to impact.
- Given that the clips are disposable, but the wedges are reusable. When purchasing, be careful to purchase fewer wedges than clips. For example, if a section with an area of 500 meters is to be tiled in two stages, it is necessary to calculate the required number and purchase half the number of wedges as clips to make it economically viable.
Note:
- If you do not use level tiles in the tile joints, in addition to creating uneven joints, you will have an uneven or so-called pterygoid surface. If the work surface is pterygoid, it not only reduces the quality and beauty of the work, but also provides a suitable space for water to accumulate during washing, which after a while will become a surface with scale and dullness, creating an inappropriate appearance.
How to use ceramic tile leveler

Ceramic tile leveling is made up of two parts, clips and wedges, and is designed and produced in several sizes for different thicknesses. First, choose the appropriate ceramic leveling size according to the thickness of the ceramic tile or parquet. Then, to start tiling, try to start tiling from a corner of the desired area as much as possible. In the first step, using tools such as a protractor, ruler, and meter, or using laser meters in the corner, draw two lines at a 90-degree angle to each other to install the first ceramic tile.
Apply tile adhesive to the surface under the work. After tiling the entire surface, according to the method mentioned, allow the tiles to set and adhere completely. Then, by applying a blow with a hammer or the tip of a shoe, the clips will easily break from the point where the vertical plate connects to the horizontal. The horizontal part of the clips will remain under the tiles and the vertical part will come out.
It should be noted that the clips are disposable in the operation of leveling the surface, but the wedge can be used several times. If possible, apply tile adhesive to the surface with a spatula. First, place and fix the first tile or ceramic according to the drawn lines. To place the remaining tiles and complete the layout, place the clips in the desired number according to the dimensions of the tile or ceramic, on each side, and then place the other tiles. After placing the two tiles next to each other, insert the wedge into the slot of the clip that has come out of the joint between the two tiles or ceramics and lock it with a special aligning pliers (tile aligning wrench). After finishing tiling the entire surface, according to the method described, allow the tiles to fully adhere and adhere. Then, by applying a blow with a hammer or the tip of a shoe, from the side, the clips will easily be left behind from the connection point of the plates and the vertical part will come out. It should be noted that the clips are disposable in the surface leveling operation, but the wedge can be used multiple times.
