Parts of the DTA Lippage System

- Tile leveling spacers – used to prevent your tile from being too close together as well as keeping an even distance for each tile during the installation.

Before using the DTA Lippage Leveling System, you should first ensure that the floor is already prepared and leveled.
- Once the floor is ready and adhesives are already mixed, it is now time to lay down the first tile.
- Place the tile leveling spacers under the first tile that is already laid down. Make sure you space them out evenly if using multiple leveling spacers.
- After that, lay down the second tile, with the spacers hanging out in between the two tiles.
- Fit the cap on top of your leveling spacers and tighten them using the tile leveling gun.
- Gently repeat the whole process until you’ve already set the tiles on the entire floor.
- Wait for the adhesive to dry first, then remove the caps by simply kicking them off.
