A method and assembly for laying and leveling adjacent tiles. The assembly includes a base member having a bottom plate and a cam tool. The cam tool is pivotally combined with the base member so that the cam tool rotates relative to the base member about an axis of rotation. The cam tool has a handle combined with a cam member. The cam member has a tile engaging surface around its outer periphery with a first portion that is a first distance from the axis of rotation and a second portion that is a second distance from the axis of rotation. Rotation of the cam tool around the axis of rotation causes the distance between the tile engaging surface and the bottom plate to change. One or more tiles is adapted to be placed between the tile engaging surface of the cam member and the bottom plate of the base member. The tiles are compressed between the tile engaging surface and the bottom plate as the cam tool is rotated to a desired position.

A device for leveling and aligning tiles and a method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment of the tile leveling device, a body defines a viewing opening. A base is orthogonally coupled to the body with a base to body coupling including a frangible breakaway section. The base and the body are integral prior to frangible separation and the frangible breakaway section, upon breaking, frangibly separates the body from the base. Respective arms are moveably connected to the body opposite the base. Each of the arms may operate from an open position to a closed position where the arm releasably mates one or more tiles.

A device for leveling and aligning tiles and method for leveling and aligning tiles are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling device includes a body and two spaced and parallel strip members extending transversely from the body. Each of the spaced and parallel strip members extend to the front and rear of the body. Two opposing lateral open windows are formed in the body. A breakaway section is defined along the body. A wedge device is provided for penetrating one or more of the two opposing lateral open windows and exerting a force on the tiles for leveling them relative to each other.

A rainscreen panel may be installed using tools for spacing, positioning, and attaching the rainscreen to a supporting structure. A rainscreen installation tool may have a first short leg and a second and third long leg extending from a center. One of the long legs may be orthogonal to the short leg and the other parallel to the short leg. The rainscreen installation tool may also have a fourth short leg extending from the center which is orthogonal to the first short leg. One or more of the rainscreen installation tools may be positioned with one of the short legs between an installed rainscreen panel and new rainscreen panel so that the new panel is appropriately spaced from the installed rainscreen panel. A fastener may be positioned at an edge of the rainscreen installation tool in order to secure the new rainscreen panel to the supporting structure.

A device for levelling tiles includes a traction member having a base which can be inserted below two or more of the tiles which are adjacent at mutual edges, and a C-shaped element extending from the base, the free ends of its wings being associated with the base. The device further includes a wedge having a surface with a serrated profile for interaction with the traction member at an edge of the core of the C-shaped element. The wedge is insertable inside the C-shaped element of the traction member between the wings thereof.

A levelling spacer device for the application of slabs for covering surfaces, including a base having a lower surface and an opposite upper surface, a separator element extending upwardly from the upper surface of the base, a threaded stem which rises up from the separator element, a pressing element able to screw into the threaded stem, and a corner spacer that rises up from the upper surface of the base. The separator element includes a main zone having side faces parallel to one another and spaced apart defining a first thickness of the main zone. The corner spacer includes two side edges parallel to one another and square-angled with respect to the side faces. The separator element includes a central zone proximal to the base having a non-zero second thickness smaller than the first thickness. The corner spacer joins the central zone and has a longitudinal axis perpendicular to the side faces.

A tile spacing device and accompanying system and method are disclosed for spacing a plurality of tiles having a contour. In one embodiment, the tile spacing device includes two parallel bodies connected by at least one spanning member. The first body, the second body, and the at least one spanning member form a cage-like fused-member structure having a four-tile engagement configuration, a three-tile engagement configuration, and a two-tile engagement configuration, respectively. Within each of the three engagement configurations, engagement of a tile with a spacer can be seen by a user through the cage-like fused-member structure.

A tile-securing system having a polymeric one-piece bracket having a first flange, a second flange, and a central raised-wall portion, the first flange and the second flange opposing each other and being in the same plane, the central raised-wall portion being orthogonal to both the first flange and the second flange; a slot opening located on an exterior edge of the raised-wall portion; the slot opening having a first width and a first length, wherein the first width is less than the first length, and the slot opening configured to receive a wedge that upon insertion into the slot opening expands the first width to a greater second width.

A leveling clip and tile leveling device for use of the same are disclosed. In one embodiment, the leveling clip includes a body defining an opening that is configured to accept a wedge device thereat. Tapered legs extend from the body and join a base at a base to body coupling. The base extends to a front and a rear of the body. The base to body coupling includes a frangible breakaway section that is integral prior to frangible separation and the frangible breakaway section, upon breaking, frangibly separates the body from the base. The leveling clip may be used with the wedge device to install two, three, or four tiles.

A supporting device (10) for laying tiles comprising: a base (20); a separator element (30) projecting from the base; and a pusher element (50) adapted to cooperate with the separator element (30), wherein the base (20) comprises two flaps (23) arranged at opposite sides with respect to the separator element (30), wherein the flaps (23) are tilted between each other and form a dihedral angle lower than the straight angle opposite to the separator element (30).
