“It works great, it actually does exactly as advertised”.

"Recently I was asked my opinion of the Tuscan Leveling System and to tell of my experiences with it. I thought this would be a perfect opportunity to share information with fellow installers and even the occasional Do-It-Yourselfer that may benefit from use of the product. The truth is, there is not a lot one can say about the Tuscan Leveling System except to say “It works great, it actually does exactly as advertised”. Since introduced to the Tuscan Leveling System a few years ago I have had occasions to use the system several times. Each time I feel the job was completed faster and with more perfection than would have been possible using my old method. Each time I use the product I get a good feeling of confidence that I have produced a job to be proud of. I have learned to always have the Tuscan product available on my truck primarily for the installation of the trouble spots that so-often arise without warning. As everyone knows it doesn’t matter how diligently you appraise or prepare a jobs sub straight there are always some areas that jump out to grab you when you least expect them. Areas that will cause lippage in a large format tile installation. Tuscan Leveling System is the quick and professional answer to those issues. I like the system and think it makes perfect sense, why didn’t it come along a long time ago?" Bud Cline Installing Tile Since 1976

"These installations are flat as a desk top..."

"The Territory Manager for Pearl Abrasives is an old friend that I have not seen in a long time, so I picked up the phone and he was in my office that afternoon. Within a week, the inventor of the Tuscan Leveling System was training our installers. The Tuscan Leveling System was beginning to make my dream come true. Step two solved!

Getting started

Installation materials have always been kind of a "me too" industry with one standing out at the cutting edge of technology. I opened a dialog with another old friend who happens to be a V.P. at Laticrete International. Laticrete has always been a leader in their industry.

"Action shot"

We not only landed on installation products that will work, Laticrete has stepped up to the plate and offered their 100% labor and materials warranty on installations using the Tuscan Leveling System and Laticrete products. Steps three and four solved! We now had four legs under the horse and it was time to see how he could run.

Park Shore Kitchens & Interiors Floor Covering Division has now completed thousands of square feet of large unit porcelain tile installations using the Tuscan Leveling System system, thinset bed, with 1/32" grout joint. These installations are flat as a desk top and all of the "Achilles heels" have been corrected. We now have the system!

Flat, Flat, Flat!

Our real test is getting the word out. There is a whole lot of incorrect information circulating out there and there are always the old-schoolers that will never "get it".

The really good news is that through the internet, in the John Bridge Forum, on what is called "professionals hang-out" I am finding overwhelming support from across the country. There is now a large movement toward this new technology and it is getting larger by the day. Refreshing and exciting!

“You got the bull by the horns on this one!!!"

The Tuscan Leveling System is a great tool to have, by far the most user friendly, simple tool I have used in a very long time. It makes up for that slight variation in either the floor or the product that has always been the last sticking point in the final setting process for me. Reduced the taking up & adding or subtracting thinset by at least 80-90%.” Thanks Again! Louis Fowler Fowler Tile & Stone.

"Using the Tuscan Leveling System has helped fast track things.”

“I just thought I would drop you a line. I have been using your Tuscan Leveling System for 7 months and have done some very large jobs. Some of the stonework floors the pieces have been 1800 x 1200 20mls thick. It did not take long for my guys to be able to master the system. What I have found is that with this system it has helped my business grow faster because I have not had to rely on people with a lot of knowledge to work the system. As we all know there is a shortage in the world of trades people, and using the Tuscan Leveling System has helped fast track things.”
Eric Pederson Auckland, New Zealand

“…the Tuscan Leveling System pulls the tiles into the thinset, not out."

"Today we ran out of caps again, so we installed about 30 m2 without them (the old way) and I could not believe how painful it really was. Tiles were sinking and the time it takes to re-bed them is incredible. You don't realize how good your system is until you install with out it. I am truly sold on it…” Darren Conroy Queensland , Australia

"Large unit porcelains with TLS and Laticrete sparked a great deal of interest..."

I spent the week-end working a local Home & Garden show. The showing of large unit porcelains with TLS and Laticrete sparked a great deal of interest. While there, I was asked to be an 'expert' on the panel for two of Jim Parks seminars. Jim is the host of HGTV’s New Spaces show. The more we talked, the more excited about it he became. Here is a photo that I wanted to share with you.
