Been having fun trying to cut some marble around a flange and keep breaking the time trying to do a round cut so thought I would try this out. Def much easier to make a square cut.
Any reason not to use them though. There's always a stack of them in lowes and they are covered in dust because they never sell. They seem to work great.
It's a flange spacer but you also use it to tile upto. You add as many as needed to bring the flange to the top of the tile. Normally I would just use the spacer kits that go on top of the flat but then also act as square edge to cut the tile too. I think it looks tidy but didn't know if anyone had issues with them.
Not in this damn marble it ain't. It breaks just picking it up wrong. Worried my MLT leveling kit ain't gonna work as they are so brittle I think it's gonna break them.
I did a small bath floor during the summer... one of those jobs that the homeowner started, then had to call me. For some reason they were all excited to show me this tile buddy thingy and explain it to me because the Lowes guy told them all about it.
I just sat it aside and tiled the floor regularly.

It didn't need a spacer... I think they bought it because Lowes told them that they needed it. I can see how it would work but I think it was just one of those inventions to generate huge cash flow from diy'ers
I think on that job I was able to get the tile underneath the flange because there was a little play in it. Then screwed it back down and used a regular wax ring
Stopped using wax rings after about my second bathroom job here. Every damn on I have pulled out had water damage because flanges were set at wrong heights.
thanks, I'll have to check into some of those next time.
