Curator's pick: Tile Leveling System Clips and Wedges
Forget trying to eye-ball 60x60 slabs; large format tiles are notorious for 'lippage' if your subfloor isn't perfect. These clips are the only way to ensure a flat finish that won't trip you up or chip your furniture legs later.
⚠ Worth knowing: Ceramic tiles are thinner and more brittle than porcelain; if you drop a heavy cast-iron skillet on these, they will crack. For high-impact garage floors or outdoor driveways, skip these and look for full-bodied vitrified tiles instead.
