TILE-SETTING SNAP-CLIP LIPPAGE CONTROL
A tile-setting snap-clip lippage control system and method for tiles set with mortar as floors or walls on prepared surfaces, providing tab-and-clip pairs with a footed tab lower unit having a footplate connected by a bending neck, a multi-tapered descending portion having a thicker center, tapering base, tapering sides, and a clip mount, and a snap clip upper unit for removable attachment to the footed tab through a tab mount, having a clip body with snap posts and clip ledges, and having two snap flaps mounted through flap hinges, each with a snap hole to engage with a snap post, a flap ledge to engage with a clip ledge, and a flap tooth to engage with the underside of a flap hinge. Two adjacent tiles are held with compressive force between the footplate and one of the snap flaps during curing of the mortar. The footed tab is then removed by lateral striking, shearing at the bending neck, leaving only the encapsulated footplate.
