Installation/Set-Up Challenges for Levelling
When using leveling systems, some common installation or setup challenges that users may encounter include:
Improper Material Selection: Choosing the wrong type of leveling system for the specific tiles being used can lead to difficulties in achieving the desired leveling effect.
Inadequate Surface Preparation: Not properly cleaning and preparing the substrate before installing the leveling system can result in poor adhesion and leveling performance.
Difficulty in Tile Alignment: Ensuring proper alignment and spacing of tiles can be challenging, especially for beginners using leveling systems for the first time.
Breaking or Slipping of Clips: Incorrect use or overtightening of leveling clips can cause them to break or slip during the installation process, affecting the leveling outcome.
Uneven Tile Thickness: Varying tile thicknesses can pose a challenge when using leveling systems, as achieving a consistent flat surface becomes more difficult.
Adhesive Cure Time: Timing the adhesive cure time correctly is crucial to allow the leveling system to work effectively in holding tiles in place while setting.
Lippage Removal: While leveling systems help reduce lippage (height differences between adjacent tiles), completely eliminating lippage may still require additional adjustments or manual leveling.
It's important to thoroughly read the manufacturer's instructions, practice with the leveling system before starting a project, and address any challenges promptly during the installation process to ensure a successful outcome.
