The Tile Rite Big Spin Hurricane Tile Levelling Spacer Bases are designed for tile installers, especially those working with large format porcelain, marble, and stone tiles. They provide a key benefit of reducing lippage and ensuring a consistently level surface for a professional finish. A caveat is that the system requires separate purchase of the Big Spin Hurricane caps and protection plates to function fully. This two-part system uses bases and caps to clamp tiles, ensuring they remain aligned while the adhesive cures, with a thin spacer leg snapping off cleanly afterwards.

These bases are part of a system designed to keep adjacent tiles perfectly level during installation, preventing lippage and ensuring a smooth, professional finish.
Yes, this product contains only the spacer bases. The Big Spin Hurricane caps and protection plates are sold separately and are required to complete the levelling system.
They are suitable for large format porcelain, marble, and stone tiles with thicknesses ranging from 3mm to 15mm.
Once the tile adhesive has fully cured, the thin spacer leg is designed to be snapped off cleanly at the grout line, typically with a tap from a rubber mallet or using pliers.
The bases are typically single-use items as they are embedded under the tile and the thin leg is snapped off. The caps, however, are reusable.
The bases have a 3mm spacer leg, which sets a consistent 3mm grout joint between tiles.
Yes, the bases are interchangeable with the wider Tile Rite Big Spin level system, allowing them to be used alongside other components in that product range.
Ensure the bases are fully inserted under the tile edges and that the caps are properly seated on the bases. Check for any debris preventing a flush fit. The adhesive may also be too wet, causing the tiles to shift. Allow more curing time.
Ensure the adhesive is fully cured. Use a rubber mallet or pliers to carefully snap the leg at the grout line. If resistance is high, the adhesive may not be fully set, or the base might be embedded too deeply. Try a gentle tap from the side.
Verify that the cap is correctly aligned and seated on the base. Check for any obstructions or adhesive that might be preventing smooth engagement. Ensure the levelling tool is engaging the cap correctly.
Confirm that the bases are consistently positioned and that the 3mm spacer leg is making proper contact with both tiles. Uneven subfloors can sometimes contribute to apparent grout line variations.
