Abstract: The system includes receivers and wedges. Each receiver has a base and a perpendicularly-extending hook having an aperture. Each hook is disposed as a spacer between a pair of tiles in an array laid in bedding, to provide for side-by-side tile spacing. The base is disposed beneath the pair. Each wedge has a clamping surface and a ribbed gripping surface orientated angularly thereto. Each wedge extends through the aperture such that: the pair is captured between the base and wedge, with the clamping surface disposed in coplanar relation to the pair; the gripping surface grips the receiver, to resist wedge withdrawal and maintain the clamped engagement until the bedding has cured. The gripping surface width is less than the wedge width. The hook has a wall that defines one edge of aperture, is opposite to and presents towards the planar element in perpendicular relation. The wall fits between the ribs.

Abstract: A wedge system for creating a tiled surface includes wedge receivers and wedges. Each wedge receiver has a planar element and a hook extending from the planar element in perpendicular relation. The hook is disposed as a tile spacer between a pair of tiles. The planar element is disposed beneath the tiles. Each wedge has a clamping surface and a ribbed gripping surface orientated in angular relation to one another to meet in an edge with the ribs comprising an arcuate arrangement. In use, the wedge extends through the aperture of the wedge receiver such that the clamping surface is positioned in abutting relation against the tiles and the hook is resiliently deformed to provide for a clamped engagement of the tiles between the clamping surface and the planar element, to provide for substantially coplanar relation of the tiles. Further, the gripping surface grips the wedge receiver to resist withdrawal of the wedge and maintain the clamped engagement until the mortar has cured.
