About the product
Big Spin Hurricane 500 x Tile Spacer Bases & 200 x Cap Bundle Kit — 3mm, 4mm & 5mm (For Tiles 3–25mm)
The Big Spin Hurricane 500 x Spacer Bases & 200 x Cap Bundle Kit is one of the best value tile levelling bundles on the market — a complete professional solution for achieving perfectly flat, lippage-free tile and slab installations in a single purchase. Available in 3mm (for standard tiles 3–15mm deep) or 4mm and 5mm (for deeper tiles and paving slabs 15–25mm deep), it’s a system our customers consistently come back to tell us they’re delighted with: fast to install, reliable under pressure, and genuinely time-saving on site.
Each bundle contains 500 spacer bases (2 tubs of 250) and 200 reusable caps (2 tubs of 100), giving you everything you need for a full day’s tiling without running short. Choose the right size for your tile depth: 3mm for tiles 3–15mm deep, or 4mm/5mm for tiles and slabs 15–25mm deep.
We’re a small, family-run business — I’m Cleo, the owner, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals, and between us we’ve seen a lot of tile levelling systems come and go. The Big Spin Hurricane is consistently one we recommend — the spin-lock cap mechanism is fast, reliable, and genuinely saves time on site.
We recommend this bundle for professional tilers and paving contractors working with porcelain, marble, natural stone, limestone, Indian sandstone, or ceramic tiles and slabs — particularly for large format work where consistent joint spacing and zero lippage matter most. If you’re laying standard wall or floor tiles, go for the 3mm kit (suitable for tiles 3–15mm deep). For external paving, large-format porcelain, and thicker slabs, choose the 4mm or 5mm kit (suitable for tiles and slabs 15–25mm deep).

How to Use the Big Spin Hurricane Tile Spacer Bases & Caps
- Spread your tile adhesive evenly over the substrate
- Slide the spacer base under the edge of your tile until it sits flush against the tile face
- Use 4 spacers per square tile — one at each corner. For larger format tiles or planks, use 6
- Lay the adjacent tile, rotate and apply light pressure to the base until the tiles are flush, then place the cap and spin down to lock
- Work across the surface — the system holds everything level while the adhesive cures overnight, eliminating slumping or sinkage
- Before grouting, spin or kick off the caps. The bases snap cleanly at the designed break point — a mallet tap is enough if needed
- The caps are reusable — store them back in the tub for your next job
Remember to wipe any excess adhesive from the spacer and cap before it sets for clean, easy removal.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m Cleo, owner of The Paving Experts, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we’re asked every single day.
How does the Big Spin Hurricane save landscaping contractors money?
The Big Spin Hurricane can help reduce installation time, rework, and wasted materials — all of which can quickly add to the cost of a paving project. By keeping slabs level and maintaining consistent joints as you work, the system makes it easier to achieve a professional finish first time. The reusable caps can also be used across multiple jobs, helping you get more value from every kit you buy.
Can a tile levelling system really save time on a landscaping job?
Yes. The Big Spin Hurricane is designed to make levelling and spacing part of the same process. Instead of repeatedly checking tile or slab heights by eye and making adjustments, the cap applies pressure to hold neighbouring slabs flush while the adhesive or bedding cures. On larger patios and paving projects, saving a few seconds on each slab can add up to a significant amount of labour time.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help reduce labour costs?
It can help reduce the amount of labour required for correcting uneven slabs, repeatedly checking levels, and adjusting individual pieces during installation. The biggest saving will depend on the size and complexity of the project, but for contractors working on larger areas, reducing small amounts of installation time across hundreds of slabs can make a meaningful difference to overall labour costs.
How does the Big Spin Hurricane reduce rework?
Uneven slabs can mean lifting, adjusting, and relaying sections of paving before the installation is complete. The Big Spin Hurricane helps hold adjoining slabs at a consistent height while the adhesive cures, reducing the chance of slabs moving, sinking, or sitting proud of their neighbours. Less correcting during the job means less time spent going back over work you’ve already completed.
Why is the reusable cap useful for landscaping contractors?
The caps are designed to be removed from the disposable bases and used again on future installations. Rather than buying a completely new cap every time, contractors can collect the caps after each job, clean them if necessary, and return them to their tubs ready for reuse. You can also buy replacement caps separately in packs of 100. This makes the Big Spin Hurricane particularly practical for contractors who lay paving regularly.
How many paving slabs can I level with the Big Spin Hurricane bundle?
There isn’t a fixed number because it depends on the size and layout of your slabs. As a general guide, use 4 bases per square slab and 6 for larger-format tiles or planks. The 500-base bundle therefore provides a substantial quantity for professional paving work, while the 200 reusable caps can be used repeatedly across multiple installations. If you need to top up on bases, you can also buy 250 x 3mm bases, 250 x 4mm bases, or 250 x 5mm bases separately.
Why buy the 500 bases & 200 caps bundle instead of smaller kits?
For contractors who regularly install paving, the larger bundle provides better job-site convenience and means you’re less likely to run out of bases part-way through an installation. Having 500 bases and 200 reusable caps ready to go also means you can keep the system in your van or workshop and use it across multiple projects rather than purchasing smaller quantities for individual jobs.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane worth using on smaller landscaping jobs?
It can be. While the time savings are often more noticeable on larger installations, the system can also be useful on smaller patios or feature areas where the finished appearance is particularly important. Because the caps are reusable, contractors can keep them for future jobs rather than treating every installation as a completely new investment.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane easy to use for landscaping teams?
Yes. There are no specialist tools or complicated mechanisms to learn. Position the base beneath the slab, lay the adjoining slab, fit the cap and spin it down to bring the surfaces flush. Because the process is simple and repeatable, it can also be easily adopted by different members of a landscaping team.
Does using a levelling system make training new team members easier?
A levelling system can make the installation process more consistent because spacing and levelling are built into the same process. Rather than relying entirely on visual judgement to achieve the correct joint and height, the Big Spin Hurricane gives installers a straightforward system to follow. This can be particularly useful when several people are working on the same paving project.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help contractors work more consistently?
Yes. One of the advantages of using a systematic approach to paving is consistency. The bases provide the selected joint width while the caps apply pressure to bring neighbouring slabs into alignment. This helps different installers follow the same process and maintain a more uniform finish across the project.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane suitable for contractors who lay paving every day?
Yes. The system is designed with professional installers in mind, particularly those working regularly with porcelain, natural stone, and other large-format tiles and paving slabs. Its simple spin-lock mechanism, reusable caps, and clean break-off bases make it practical for repeated use across different projects.
Why is the Big Spin Hurricane a good choice for a landscaping contractor’s van?
The system is compact, organised, and supplied in handy tubs, making it easy to keep a supply of bases and reusable caps together. Having a levelling system ready in the van means you’re less likely to arrive on site without the right spacers or need to make an additional trip to buy supplies.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane an investment rather than just another consumable?
For professional contractors, the reusable caps make the system more than a one-job purchase. The spacer bases are consumable, but the caps can be bought separately and used again on future projects. Combined with the potential time savings and reduced rework, this can make the system a practical addition to a contractor’s regular paving equipment.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane useful for large landscaping projects?
Yes. The system is particularly useful for large-format porcelain paving, patios, terraces, and other projects where there are lots of slabs to keep aligned. With 500 spacer bases and 200 reusable caps, the bundle gives contractors a substantial supply of clips and caps in one purchase, helping keep a larger job moving without constantly stopping to restock.
Does the Big Spin Hurricane make laying porcelain paving easier?
Porcelain paving can be particularly unforgiving because even small differences in height between slabs can be noticeable. The Big Spin Hurricane helps bring adjoining slabs into alignment and keeps them held in position while the adhesive cures. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent, professional-looking surface across the whole installation.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help improve the finished appearance of my landscaping projects?
It can help create a more consistent finish by keeping adjoining slabs aligned and maintaining uniform joints. This is particularly noticeable with large-format porcelain paving, where uneven edges and inconsistent joints can stand out. A consistent joint pattern and flatter transitions between slabs can contribute to a cleaner, more professional-looking installation.
Does the Big Spin Hurricane reduce the need to keep checking slab levels?
It can reduce the amount of constant visual adjustment required. Once the adjoining slabs are positioned correctly, the cap holds them together and helps maintain their relative height while the adhesive cures. Contractors should still check the overall falls, levels, and drainage of the installation as they work — the levelling system is designed to assist with tile-to-tile alignment rather than replace good installation practice.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help prevent trip hazards?
By helping adjoining slabs finish at a more consistent height, the system can reduce uneven edges between neighbouring slabs — commonly known as lippage. This is particularly useful on patios, paths, and terraces where noticeable height differences can affect both the appearance and usability of the finished surface.
Does the bundle reduce the need to buy separate tile spacers?
Yes. The Big Spin Hurricane spacer bases perform two jobs at once: they maintain the specified joint width and work with the cap to level adjoining slabs. That means you don’t need to buy separate conventional spacers for the same installation, helping simplify both your kit and your purchasing.
How much can a landscaping contractor save by using the Big Spin Hurricane?
The saving will vary from project to project because it depends on the size of the area, slab format, installation method, and labour rates. The potential savings come from several areas: faster installation, less adjustment and rework, reusable caps, and fewer separate components to purchase. For contractors completing paving work regularly, these small efficiencies can accumulate across multiple projects.
What is a tile levelling kit?
A tile levelling kit is a tool used to ensure even, flat tile installations and prevent lippage — that’s the uneven edges you get between tiles when one sits higher than the next. The system works by holding tiles at the same height while the adhesive sets, giving a professional finish every time.
What are the main components of a tile levelling kit?
Most tile levelling kits consist of two key components: bases, which are placed under the edges or corners of tiles to maintain alignment, and caps, which are pressed or twisted onto the bases to create pressure and hold the tiles securely in place. The Big Spin Hurricane uses a spin-lock cap mechanism for fast, precise levelling — no wedges, no tools, just a quick twist.
How does the Big Spin Tile Levelling System work?
The Big Spin Hurricane uses a rotating spin-lock cap over a base. Slide the base under the tile edge, lay the adjacent tile, then spin the cap down to apply gentle, even pressure — aligning tiles perfectly and holding them flat while the adhesive cures. Once set, kick or tap off the base at the designed break point. The caps are reusable and store neatly back in the tub.
When should I use a tile levelling kit?
Use a tile levelling kit when installing large-format tiles, tiles with uneven backs, or porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles on walls or floors where perfect alignment is important. Levelling kits reduce lippage, save time during grouting, and — with the Big Spin Hurricane — the caps can be reused across multiple jobs.
Why should I use a tile levelling system when laying paving slabs?
A tile levelling system keeps slabs aligned at the same height while the bedding cures, preventing lippage and creating a flatter, safer surface. This helps avoid trip hazards on patios, pathways, and terraces, and — because each slab is held firmly in position — stops corners from lifting or sinking during installation. Even slab alignment also helps distribute weight more evenly across the surface, reducing stress points and movement that can lead to damage over time.
Which size kit should I choose — 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm?
Choose the 3mm kit if your tiles are between 3–15mm deep — this suits most standard wall and floor tiles. Choose the 4mm or 5mm kit if your tiles or slabs are between 15–25mm deep — this is the right choice for external porcelain paving, natural stone slabs, and other thicker materials. If you’re not sure, give us a call on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll help you pick the right size.
Can I reuse the bases and caps?
The caps in the Big Spin Hurricane system are reusable — once you’ve kicked or tapped off the base at the break point, simply store the caps back in the tub for your next job. The bases are designed as single-use clips, with a precision snap point that makes removal clean and fast. Need extra caps? Buy them separately in packs of 100.
Do tile levelling kits work on both floors and walls?
Yes — the Big Spin Hurricane can be used for both floor and wall tiles. On vertical surfaces, take a little extra care to ensure the adhesive is suitably stiff to prevent slippage before it sets, and work in manageable sections.
Do I still need spacers if I use a levelling kit?
No — the Big Spin Hurricane bases act as both spacer and levelling device in one. They maintain your chosen joint width (3mm, 4mm, or 5mm) at the same time as keeping each tile flush with its neighbour. No separate spacers needed.
Are levelling systems only for professionals?
Not at all — they’re useful for both contractors and homeowners. They make installation more controlled and accurate, especially with porcelain or large-format paving where achieving a flush finish by eye alone is very difficult. If you’re not sure which kit is right for your job, give us a call on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll point you in the right direction.
How do I remove the levelling system after the adhesive has set?
Once your adhesive has cured, kick or tap the base at the designed break point using your foot or a rubber mallet. The clip snaps off cleanly at the joint line. The cap unscrews and can be stored for reuse. Remember to clean any excess adhesive from the spacer and cap before it fully sets for the easiest removal.
What is a Tile Levelling System?
Tile levelling systems are designed for perfect tile-to-tile alignment. They allow the tiling or paving contractor to level, align, space and hold each individual tile during installation. The spacer bases and caps form a two-part system that creates a perfectly symmetrical surface, with accurate, consistent spaces between each tile for a uniform, precision joint when grouting.

For professional contractors, the reusable caps make the system more than a one-job purchase. The spacer bases are consumable, but the caps can be bought separately and used again on future projects. Combined with the potential time savings and reduced rework, this can make the system a practical addition to a contractor’s regular paving equipment.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane useful for large landscaping projects?
Yes. The system is particularly useful for large-format porcelain paving, patios, terraces, and other projects where there are lots of slabs to keep aligned. With 500 spacer bases and 200 reusable caps, the bundle gives contractors a substantial supply of clips and caps in one purchase, helping keep a larger job moving without constantly stopping to restock.
Does the Big Spin Hurricane make laying porcelain paving easier?
Porcelain paving can be particularly unforgiving because even small differences in height between slabs can be noticeable. The Big Spin Hurricane helps bring adjoining slabs into alignment and keeps them held in position while the adhesive cures. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent, professional-looking surface across the whole installation.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help improve the finished appearance of my landscaping projects?
It can help create a more consistent finish by keeping adjoining slabs aligned and maintaining uniform joints. This is particularly noticeable with large-format porcelain paving, where uneven edges and inconsistent joints can stand out. A consistent joint pattern and flatter transitions between slabs can contribute to a cleaner, more professional-looking installation.
Does the Big Spin Hurricane reduce the need to keep checking slab levels?
It can reduce the amount of constant visual adjustment required. Once the adjoining slabs are positioned correctly, the cap holds them together and helps maintain their relative height while the adhesive cures. Contractors should still check the overall falls, levels, and drainage of the installation as they work — the levelling system is designed to assist with tile-to-tile alignment rather than replace good installation practice.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help prevent trip hazards?
By helping adjoining slabs finish at a more consistent height, the system can reduce uneven edges between neighbouring slabs — commonly known as lippage. This is particularly useful on patios, paths, and terraces where noticeable height differences can affect both the appearance and usability of the finished surface.
Does the bundle reduce the need to buy separate tile spacers?
Yes. The Big Spin Hurricane spacer bases perform two jobs at once: they maintain the specified joint width and work with the cap to level adjoining slabs. That means you don’t need to buy separate conventional spacers for the same installation, helping simplify both your kit and your purchasing.
How much can a landscaping contractor save by using the Big Spin Hurricane?
The saving will vary from project to project because it depends on the size of the area, slab format, installation method, and labour rates. The potential savings come from several areas: faster installation, less adjustment and rework, reusable caps, and fewer separate components to purchase. For contractors completing paving work regularly, these small efficiencies can accumulate across multiple projects.
What is a tile levelling kit?
A tile levelling kit is a tool used to ensure even, flat tile installations and prevent lippage — that’s the uneven edges you get between tiles when one sits higher than the next. The system works by holding tiles at the same height while the adhesive sets, giving a professional finish every time.
What are the main components of a tile levelling kit?
Most tile levelling kits consist of two key components: bases, which are placed under the edges or corners of tiles to maintain alignment, and caps, which are pressed or twisted onto the bases to create pressure and hold the tiles securely in place. The Big Spin Hurricane uses a spin-lock cap mechanism for fast, precise levelling — no wedges, no tools, just a quick twist.
How does the Big Spin Tile Levelling System work?
The Big Spin Hurricane uses a rotating spin-lock cap over a base. Slide the base under the tile edge, lay the adjacent tile, then spin the cap down to apply gentle, even pressure — aligning tiles perfectly and holding them flat while the adhesive cures. Once set, kick or tap off the base at the designed break point. The caps are reusable and store neatly back in the tub.
When should I use a tile levelling kit?
Use a tile levelling kit when installing large-format tiles, tiles with uneven backs, or porcelain, ceramic, and natural stone tiles on walls or floors where perfect alignment is important. Levelling kits reduce lippage, save time during grouting, and — with the Big Spin Hurricane — the caps can be reused across multiple jobs.
Why should I use a tile levelling system when laying paving slabs?
A tile levelling system keeps slabs aligned at the same height while the bedding cures, preventing lippage and creating a flatter, safer surface. This helps avoid trip hazards on patios, pathways, and terraces, and — because each slab is held firmly in position — stops corners from lifting or sinking during installation. Even slab alignment also helps distribute weight more evenly across the surface, reducing stress points and movement that can lead to damage over time.
Which size kit should I choose — 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm?
Choose the 3mm kit if your tiles are between 3–15mm deep — this suits most standard wall and floor tiles. Choose the 4mm or 5mm kit if your tiles or slabs are between 15–25mm deep — this is the right choice for external porcelain paving, natural stone slabs, and other thicker materials. If you’re not sure, give us a call on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll help you pick the right size.
Can I reuse the bases and caps?
The caps in the Big Spin Hurricane system are reusable — once you’ve kicked or tapped off the base at the break point, simply store the caps back in the tub for your next job. The bases are designed as single-use clips, with a precision snap point that makes removal clean and fast. Need extra caps? Buy them separately in packs of 100.
Do tile levelling kits work on both floors and walls?
Yes — the Big Spin Hurricane can be used for both floor and wall tiles. On vertical surfaces, take a little extra care to ensure the adhesive is suitably stiff to prevent slippage before it sets, and work in manageable sections.
Do I still need spacers if I use a levelling kit?
No — the Big Spin Hurricane bases act as both spacer and levelling device in one. They maintain your chosen joint width (3mm, 4mm, or 5mm) at the same time as keeping each tile flush with its neighbour. No separate spacers needed.
Are levelling systems only for professionals?
Not at all — they’re useful for both contractors and homeowners. They make installation more controlled and accurate, especially with porcelain or large-format paving where achieving a flush finish by eye alone is very difficult. If you’re not sure which kit is right for your job, give us a call on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll point you in the right direction.
How do I remove the levelling system after the adhesive has set?
Once your adhesive has cured, kick or tap the base at the designed break point using your foot or a rubber mallet. The clip snaps off cleanly at the joint line. The cap unscrews and can be stored for reuse. Remember to clean any excess adhesive from the spacer and cap before it fully sets for the easiest removal.
What is a Tile Levelling System?
Tile levelling systems are designed for perfect tile-to-tile alignment. They allow the tiling or paving contractor to level, align, space and hold each individual tile during installation. The spacer bases and caps form a two-part system that creates a perfectly symmetrical surface, with accurate, consistent spaces between each tile for a uniform, precision joint when grouting.

Frequently Asked Questions
I’m Cleo, owner of The Paving Experts, with over 25 years in the construction industry working with businesses including Tarmac and Instarmac. I work alongside a small team of incredibly knowledgeable and caring individuals who share the same passion for getting it right. The FAQ answers below come from the questions we’re asked every single day.
How does the Big Spin Hurricane save landscaping contractors money?
The Big Spin Hurricane can help reduce installation time, rework, and wasted materials — all of which can quickly add to the cost of a paving project. By keeping slabs level and maintaining consistent joints as you work, the system makes it easier to achieve a professional finish first time. The reusable caps can also be used across multiple jobs, helping you get more value from every kit you buy.
Can a tile levelling system really save time on a landscaping job?
Yes. The Big Spin Hurricane is designed to make levelling and spacing part of the same process. Instead of repeatedly checking tile or slab heights by eye and making adjustments, the cap applies pressure to hold neighbouring slabs flush while the adhesive or bedding cures. On larger patios and paving projects, saving a few seconds on each slab can add up to a significant amount of labour time.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help reduce labour costs?
It can help reduce the amount of labour required for correcting uneven slabs, repeatedly checking levels, and adjusting individual pieces during installation. The biggest saving will depend on the size and complexity of the project, but for contractors working on larger areas, reducing small amounts of installation time across hundreds of slabs can make a meaningful difference to overall labour costs.
How does the Big Spin Hurricane reduce rework?
Uneven slabs can mean lifting, adjusting, and relaying sections of paving before the installation is complete. The Big Spin Hurricane helps hold adjoining slabs at a consistent height while the adhesive cures, reducing the chance of slabs moving, sinking, or sitting proud of their neighbours. Less correcting during the job means less time spent going back over work you’ve already completed.
Why is the reusable cap useful for landscaping contractors?
The caps are designed to be removed from the disposable bases and used again on future installations. Rather than buying a completely new cap every time, contractors can collect the caps after each job, clean them if necessary, and return them to their tubs ready for reuse. You can also buy replacement caps separately in packs of 100. This makes the Big Spin Hurricane particularly practical for contractors who lay paving regularly.
How many paving slabs can I level with the Big Spin Hurricane bundle?
There isn’t a fixed number because it depends on the size and layout of your slabs. As a general guide, use 4 bases per square slab and 6 for larger-format tiles or planks. The 500-base bundle therefore provides a substantial quantity for professional paving work, while the 200 reusable caps can be used repeatedly across multiple installations. If you need to top up on bases, you can also buy 250 x 3mm bases, 250 x 4mm bases, or 250 x 5mm bases separately.
Why buy the 500 bases & 200 caps bundle instead of smaller kits?
For contractors who regularly install paving, the larger bundle provides better job-site convenience and means you’re less likely to run out of bases part-way through an installation. Having 500 bases and 200 reusable caps ready to go also means you can keep the system in your van or workshop and use it across multiple projects rather than purchasing smaller quantities for individual jobs.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane worth using on smaller landscaping jobs?
It can be. While the time savings are often more noticeable on larger installations, the system can also be useful on smaller patios or feature areas where the finished appearance is particularly important. Because the caps are reusable, contractors can keep them for future jobs rather than treating every installation as a completely new investment.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane easy to use for landscaping teams?
Yes. There are no specialist tools or complicated mechanisms to learn. Position the base beneath the slab, lay the adjoining slab, fit the cap and spin it down to bring the surfaces flush. Because the process is simple and repeatable, it can also be easily adopted by different members of a landscaping team.
Does using a levelling system make training new team members easier?
A levelling system can make the installation process more consistent because spacing and levelling are built into the same process. Rather than relying entirely on visual judgement to achieve the correct joint and height, the Big Spin Hurricane gives installers a straightforward system to follow. This can be particularly useful when several people are working on the same paving project.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help contractors work more consistently?
Yes. One of the advantages of using a systematic approach to paving is consistency. The bases provide the selected joint width while the caps apply pressure to bring neighbouring slabs into alignment. This helps different installers follow the same process and maintain a more uniform finish across the project.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane suitable for contractors who lay paving every day?
Yes. The system is designed with professional installers in mind, particularly those working regularly with porcelain, natural stone, and other large-format tiles and paving slabs. Its simple spin-lock mechanism, reusable caps, and clean break-off bases make it practical for repeated use across different projects.
Why is the Big Spin Hurricane a good choice for a landscaping contractor’s van?
The system is compact, organised, and supplied in handy tubs, making it easy to keep a supply of bases and reusable caps together. Having a levelling system ready in the van means you’re less likely to arrive on site without the right spacers or need to make an additional trip to buy supplies.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane an investment rather than just another consumable?
For professional contractors, the reusable caps make the system more than a one-job purchase. The spacer bases are consumable, but the caps can be bought separately and used again on future projects. Combined with the potential time savings and reduced rework, this can make the system a practical addition to a contractor’s regular paving equipment.
Is the Big Spin Hurricane useful for large landscaping projects?
Yes. The system is particularly useful for large-format porcelain paving, patios, terraces, and other projects where there are lots of slabs to keep aligned. With 500 spacer bases and 200 reusable caps, the bundle gives contractors a substantial supply of clips and caps in one purchase, helping keep a larger job moving without constantly stopping to restock.
Does the Big Spin Hurricane make laying porcelain paving easier?
Porcelain paving can be particularly unforgiving because even small differences in height between slabs can be noticeable. The Big Spin Hurricane helps bring adjoining slabs into alignment and keeps them held in position while the adhesive cures. This makes it easier to maintain a consistent, professional-looking surface across the whole installation.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help improve the finished appearance of my landscaping projects?
It can help create a more consistent finish by keeping adjoining slabs aligned and maintaining uniform joints. This is particularly noticeable with large-format porcelain paving, where uneven edges and inconsistent joints can stand out. A consistent joint pattern and flatter transitions between slabs can contribute to a cleaner, more professional-looking installation.

Contractors should still check the overall falls, levels, and drainage of the installation as they work — the levelling system is designed to assist with tile-to-tile alignment rather than replace good installation practice.
Can the Big Spin Hurricane help prevent trip hazards?
By helping adjoining slabs finish at a more consistent height, the system can reduce uneven edges between neighbouring slabs — commonly known as lippage. This is particularly useful on patios, paths, and terraces where noticeable height differences can affect both the appearance and usability of the finished surface.
Does the bundle reduce the need to buy separate tile spacers?
Yes. The Big Spin Hurricane spacer bases perform two jobs at once: they maintain the specified joint width and work with the cap to level adjoining slabs. That means you don’t need to buy separate conventional spacers for the same installation, helping simplify both your kit and your purchasing.
How much can a landscaping contractor save by using the Big Spin Hurricane?
The saving will vary from project to project because it depends on the size of the area, slab format, installation method, and labour rates. The potential savings come from several areas: faster installation, less adjustment and rework, reusable caps, and fewer separate components to purchase. For contractors completing paving work regularly, these small efficiencies can accumulate across multiple projects.

Even slab alignment also helps distribute weight more evenly across the surface, reducing stress points and movement that can lead to damage over time.
Which size kit should I choose — 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm?
Choose the 3mm kit if your tiles are between 3–15mm deep — this suits most standard wall and floor tiles. Choose the 4mm or 5mm kit if your tiles or slabs are between 15–25mm deep — this is the right choice for external porcelain paving, natural stone slabs, and other thicker materials. If you’re not sure, give us a call on 0330 122 1025 and we’ll help you pick the right size.
Can I reuse the bases and caps?
The caps in the Big Spin Hurricane system are reusable — once you’ve kicked or tapped off the base at the break point, simply store the caps back in the tub for your next job. The bases are designed as single-use clips, with a precision snap point that makes removal clean and fast. Need extra caps? Buy them separately in packs of 100.
Do tile levelling kits work on both floors and walls?
Yes — the Big Spin Hurricane can be used for both floor and wall tiles. On vertical surfaces, take a little extra care to ensure the adhesive is suitably stiff to prevent slippage before it sets, and work in manageable sections.
Do I still need spacers if I use a levelling kit?
No — the Big Spin Hurricane bases act as both spacer and levelling device in one. They maintain your chosen joint width (3mm, 4mm, or 5mm) at the same time as keeping each tile flush with its neighbour. No separate spacers needed.
