The Tile Rite Big Spin Hurricane Standard Base is designed for tile installers seeking perfectly flat and lippage-free tile installations, particularly with large format porcelain, marble, and natural stone. Its key benefit is creating consistent grout joints and ensuring tiles are flush, minimizing visible height differences. A caveat is that this pack contains only the standard bases; the necessary Big Spin Hurricane Caps are sold separately. This system provides a reliable method for achieving professional-looking tile surfaces.

Its purpose is to create a uniform 1mm grout joint and help level adjacent tiles, ensuring a lippage-free and flat surface during tile installation.
Yes, the Big Spin Hurricane Caps are sold separately from the standard bases.
The standard bases are suitable for tiles ranging from 3mm to 15mm in thickness.
The standard base features a fixed 1mm spacer. Other components in the Tile Rite Big Spin range may be available for different joint widths.
No, the standard bases are designed for single use and are removed and discarded after the tile adhesive has cured.
This system is ideal for large format porcelain, marble, and natural stone tiles where even small height variations can be visually apparent.
This pack contains 250 standard bases.
Ensure the Big Spin Hurricane Cap is properly threaded onto the base stem and is tightened evenly. Check that the base is fully inserted under both tiles and that the tile adhesive has not hardened prematurely, preventing movement.
Verify that the 1mm spacer tab on the base is intact and properly positioned between the tiles. Ensure no excess adhesive is obstructing the spacer tab.
If adhesive has seeped excessively around the base, carefully cut away any hardened adhesive with a utility knife before attempting removal. The system is designed for easy removal.
Setup: Insert the Tile Rite Big Spin Hurricane Standard Base under the edge of two adjacent tiles, ensuring the 1mm spacer tab is positioned correctly to define the grout line. Then, thread the separately sold Big Spin Hurricane Cap onto the stem of the base. Place the cap over the tiles and tighten it to draw the tiles level. Once the tile adhesive has fully cured, the caps and bases can be removed, leaving the tiles flush with a 1mm grout joint.
Compatibility: These standard bases are designed to work with the Big Spin Hurricane Caps. They are interchangeable with other components within the Tile Rite Big Spin levelling system, allowing users to mix and match bases and caps to accommodate different tile thicknesses (3mm-15mm) and desired grout joint widths.
Care: The bases are single-use items and are discarded after installation. Ensure they are clean and free of debris before use to prevent contamination of the adhesive or interference with the levelling process. Store unused bases in their original packaging in a dry environment.
