They are a great way to ensure tile surfaces are perfectly flat (or \"level\"), and to prevent lippage, which is when one tile edge sits higher than the adjacent one. They consist of plastic clips and wedges or caps that lock tiles into the same plane while the mortar sets, serving both floor and wall applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTile leveling systems are designed to eliminate uneven edges.
