Leveling handmade, rustic, or irregular tiles: Use them to individually adjust tiles that have natural variations in thickness or shape, ensuring each piece sits flush with its neighbors.
Setting a perfectly level and plumb first row: Absolutely critical for walls. These wedgies help fine-tune the height and alignment of that foundational course.
Fine-tuning tile height in detailed work: Ideal for backsplashes, shower niches, or accent areas where precision is highly visible and small adjustments make a big difference.
Compensating for slight substrate imperfections: If there's a minor dip or rise in the subfloor or wall under a specific tile, a wedgie can help bring it into plane without over-applying mortar.
Supporting tiles in offset patterns (like subway tile) during setting: Helps prevent sag on the unsupported end of a tile before the mortar fully sets, especially when working up a wall.
Making micro-adjustments around fixtures or outlets: When you need just a hair more or less space or height around an obstacle.
