Can I use Twist-it clips with caps from other brands?

How do I calculate how many packs I need for my project?

When should I remove the clips?

Troubleshooting

Tiles remain uneven after tightening

Ensure clips are fully inserted under the tile edges and try tightening the twister caps further. Check that the subfloor is level.

Twister caps won't screw onto clips

Verify that you are using genuine Flat-Pro twister caps, as they are not compatible with other brands. Ensure the clip is correctly positioned and not obstructed.

Clips break during tightening (especially with outdoor tiles)

Use additional clips around corners and edges for thicker outdoor tiles (20mm). Tighten twisters carefully and do not overtighten.

Difficulty removing clips

Tap firmly along the grout line with a rubber mallet or safety shoe. Ensure the adhesive has fully cured (12-24 hours).
