FAQs
What size grout line do these wedges create?
The Vitrex Wd250 wedges create a 5mm grout line.
How many wedges do I need for a project?
The number of wedges needed depends on the size of the tiles and the area being tiled. Plan for a wedge at each corner and potentially along the sides of larger tiles.
Can I reuse the wedges?
No, the Vitrex Wd250 wedges are designed for single use and should be discarded after the adhesive has set.
What kind of tiles can I use these wedges with?
These wedges are compatible with most types of tiles, including ceramic, porcelain, and natural stone.
How do I remove the wedges?
Once the adhesive has cured, you can typically remove the wedges by hand. If they are difficult to remove, use pliers.
What if my surface is very uneven?
For extremely uneven surfaces, you may need to use more wedges or consider a self-leveling compound before tiling.
Are these wedges suitable for floor and wall tiling?
Yes, Vitrex Wd250 wedges are suitable for both floor and wall tiling projects.
Troubleshooting
Tiles are uneven after setting.
Double-check wedge placement and surface level before the adhesive cures. Use a level.
Wedges are difficult to remove.
