Proleveling System
The Proleveling System makes it easy and quick to lay any flooring indoors and outdoors, with just two elements (leveler and tie rod). The system includes a complete range of 1, 2, 3 and 5mm cross, T-shaped and linear levelers for floors and 3- to-40-mm-thick coverings. The white T-shaped and cross levelers and the light blue linear ones are equipped with a threaded pin for the tie rod to rotate. The tie rod, made of transparent polyethylene, features a few holes for the user to check tiles for proper alignment and grout lines for uniformity. The system is completed with a protection cap to protect delicate floors such as marble, natural stone and porcelain ones, lapped by the tie rod’s rotating action, from scratches; an unscrewer for the levelers broken by the tie rod to be removed quickly and easily using a common drill.

Cyclone Level System
Rubi Tools USA introduces the new Cyclone Level System. The main function of this new level system is to avoid the generation of lippage during the installation of ceramic tiles, both during flooring and cladding.

Rubi leveling systems are especially recommended to improve the finishes when working with large-format tiles. Although they can also be used in smaller formats (recommended from 12- x 12-inch tile) and always with double gluing. Make sure to use a regularized support and in perfect flatness conditions for optimal results.

The use of the Cyclone Level System, by Rubi, is very easy and intuitive. In addition, the results are less sensitive to the user's skill and experience than with the rest of the leveling systems on the market.

The Cyclone Level System flange range has different thicknesses and includes cross and T bases to replace the traditional tile spacers. Each flange thickness is easily identified thanks to the range of different colors available.
