An ATR Tile Leveling System Review

When nosotros tackled our Modern Bathroom Renovation, nosotros did a LOT of tiling. When it came to leveling our vertical tiles, nosotros by in addition to large used a minor mitt level, our eyes, in addition to our fingers to experience whether it was degree or not. This fourth dimension our fireplace is the primary focal indicate of our novel living room in addition to nosotros were looking for something a fleck to a greater extent than accurate.

Enter the ATR Tile Leveling System. The agency these guys operate is that you lot attach the screw (with the spindle on it) into the apartment base, in addition to then you lot spot the apartment slice downwards nether the tile. You simply start setting your tiles, in addition to then identify 1 of these bases at each tile intersection. There are bases for 2 tile, 3 tile, in addition to iv tile intersections.

Once you lot select the tiles layed, you lot tighten upwards the spindles. This tightening keeps the tiles perfectly level. It industrial plant sort of similar a clamp in addition to pulls the adjoining tiles into the same plane.

When the tiles are develop in addition to the sparse develop is dry, you lot tin john unscrew the screw/spindle in addition to easily delineate it off earlier you lot grout the tiles.

Honestly nosotros were VERY impressed amongst this system! I couldn’t believe how slow it was to purpose them, in addition to our tiles are develop perfectly. They were slow to purpose in addition to definitely worth the money. I would definitely recommend the ATR System.

The residue of our renovation progress:

So nosotros got the entire front end of the fireplace tiled. Just select to do both sides, in addition to grout it all.... shouldn't live on also hard, right?! lol.

Aside from the fireplace, nosotros got a distich of installs done too. Like our novel Nest thermostat to command the fireplace temp!

Or our beautiful novel sconces beside the fireplace.

Or our novel modern outlets from radiant past times Legrand!

How beautiful are these screwless wall plates? Have you lot seen anything similar this before? I hadn't! And I'm inwards dear amongst how sleek they look!

Not to hollo the beautiful outlets themselves! Like the 1 higher upwards amongst a nightlight, or the 1 below amongst usb hubs. So perfect for our modern space!
