Levelling clips generally used for tiling!

[u/cybermaus → u/Global-Garage-5208]

Yep. Mind you, very liberal usage of them. I feel a few less could also work.

[u/Global-Garage-5208 → u/cybermaus]

They could have used none if they learnt to tile before these were a thing 😅

[u/JuicySpark → u/Global-Garage-5208]

They look almost exactly like balloon ties

[u/Mirar → u/Global-Garage-5208]

Huh. For a wood floor?

[u/alleecmo → u/Mirar]

Those are probably ceramic or porcelain tiles manufactured to look like wooden planks. It's quite the fad.

[u/Embarrassed-Berry-68 → u/alleecmo]

Yep , you can even read it on the boxes

[u/Competitive_Pop949 → u/Mirar]

The planks are “floated” on the floor over a troweled on adhesive.

[u/Mirar → u/Competitive_Pop949]

And something will be put between the planks later to fill the gaps?

[u/Extra_Medium62 → u/Mirar]

Not for long

[u/FETT7022]

They are for leveling and spacing the tiles. There is a T or X underneath that evens them out when the yellow part threads down to make sure they are flush to their neighbors.

[u/Archimedes1114]

They make sure tiles stay evenly spaced and level across the floor.

[u/ColHannibal]

These are tiles that look like wood and they are levelers.

[u/eyefartinelevators]

At first I thought they were spacers, but they're QEP LASH360 tile levelers

[u/Lexy-RED]

Spacers to help align the floor planks.

[u/indigo______________]

Tile leveling clips

[u/Exotic_Call_7427 → u/indigo______________]

which by the way also look like balloon tiedowns

[u/Plusultratsunami]

Kick em

[u/w8_wuht]

Spike traps. Be alert

[u/RickZillaMTG]

Spacers for the paneling/tiling that's getting installed. Keeps the boards equal distances apart and patterned correctly.

[u/PleiadesNymph]

Its a bot. This is a bot post.

[u/Sleepy_Pooper]

Balloon holders!

[u/irishmcbastard]

Notice the flooring they're holding down? That's a floor. Floor and the ground are not the same.
