In reply to Jeff S..
you should have a clean (no mortar) line in the area where tile stopped.
you can use the Edge spacer an inch or so inside the and the following day you start your new tile just like starting the first day.
when starting new day you start with making sure the old and new part are aligning once you do you good to go
ATR leveling question. How do I stop laying tile for the day (large 680 sf project) and return the next day? Do I dig out the area (mortar) where the spacers are on the edge of the tiles where I will continue the next day? Then do I place the spacers in the area where I removed the mortar before I leave for the day?

Yes you can use the leveling system with any floor heating.
The base of the leveling attached to the bottom part of the tile and embed in the thinset
How think are the spacers ? i read that i can use the system with underfloor heating. The wire of my floor heating system appears to be 3mm (1/8) but maybe as much as 5/32. Can i still use the 3mm product and expect the tile level to be above the wire or would the heating wire hold the base above the subfloor?
In reply to Robert Cook.
Hello Robert
The 3mm design for anti fracture and the can’t be use on walls, if you want to use more then 2mm on walls then you need to add 1/8″ or larger spacer
I like to use a 3mm / 1/8″ spacer for 12×12 wall tile, but see that for you 3mm spacer it says floors only, please explain?
In reply to Jim.
Can these be used with tile spacers so I can use the proper grout size according to the manufacturer’s specs?
Yes you can but you will not going to get the spacers future of the Cross or T spacer and you need to make sure your tile are in straight line, one of the advantages of the ATR on other leveling system we carry is that the spacing plates lock the tile into position giving you the most perfect intersection of the tile and straight lines without requiring consistent adjustments
can I purchase just edge spacers since I would need more edge spacers than corner spacers on an elaborate installation like a pinwheel pattern?
Yes you can buy individual boxes of any type or size or Kits
In reply to Jim.
Hi Jim
Yes you can
A 3mm spacer is equal to a 1/8″ grout line. Can I use spacers if the tile manufacturer calls for a 3/16″ grout line?

In reply to Todd.
The floor spacing plate with its patented blade design is created to flex and accommodate structural movement.
Hi, it says that the 3mm spaces for floor only. Why is this? why can’t I use the 3mm spacers for a wall tile job (that is using 12×24 tiles)?
In reply to Paul.
Hi Paul
Yes you can use the ATR with floor heating.
Hi, I am interested in using this product. I want to verify this product can be used with electrical radiant floor heating. The wires are spaced every 2 inches and I am concerned that the clip that is put underneath the tile will melt. This could cause all kinds of problems including melted plastic, shrinkage where the clips are, etc. Can you please verify if the ATR leveling system can be used with electric radiant heat. Thanks

Hi Carolyn
The shouldn’t obstruct your laser, in any case you have 30 for full refund if it did not work for you
Hi, I am a novice tiler and am looking to purchase your ATR system and the Bosch GTL3 tile laser. Can you advise whether the ATR spindles are likely to obstruct the laser line? I have been in contact with Bosch and they don’t think so but both systems are a sizeable investment and Would appreciate your thoughts.
