Doga clip and wedge system is engineered to create the perfect balance between toughness and flexibility. The result is a clip which has a predictable break off and doesn’t fracture when tightening.
Doga has been injection moulding plastics since 1964 and now operate globally. They have engineered a unique clip using a polypropylene as the base component. They use their experience and expertise in the industry to add a copolymer for toughness, as well as a small amount of plasticizer is added to increases flexibility. This combination brings with it several key benefits, not found in other clips, such as.
A lot of levelling clips are brittle and too rigid which causes clips to break randomly whilst inserting the wedges. Rigid clips also break off in the incorrect place when being removed. A bit of flexibility ensures they bend rather than crack unpredictably, giving a cleaner break.
Tiles aren’t always perfectly uniform in thickness. A slightly flexible clip can bend a little to adapt, keeping pressure even without cracking.
If the clip is too rigid, it will concentrate stress in one point, potentially causing lippage or even chipping the tile edge. Flexibility helps spread pressure across both tiles.
When pushing wedges in, a rigid clip could transfer too much force directly into the tile. A flexible clip absorbs some of that stress, reducing breakage risk.
Flexibility makes it easier to insert wedges without extreme force, while still achieving tight levelling.
In Summary
Doga clips flexibility reduces tile damage, improves consistency of levelling, and facilitates easier tightening and removal.
