Will the use of tile locators cause hollowing?

Of course not.

The overall conclusion on whether using a leveler to lay tiles will cause hollowing is that it will not cause hollowing. The hollowing of ceramic tiles is not directly related to the use of leveling devices, but rather may be caused by improper operation or poor quality of matching materials. ‌

Improper operation or poor quality of matching materials may lead to specific reasons for hollowing

When laying tiles, the mortar did not fill the tiles completely, resulting in the tiles still being hollow.

The wall surface is extensively uneven, and without prior use of cement mortar for leveling, the use of a leveling tool cannot solve the problem.

Improper operation or poor quality of matching materials when using tile adhesive may also lead to hollowing.

The correct method and precautions for using a leveling device

When using tile adhesive, the leveling device can evenly distribute force and avoid hollowing.

When using a leveling device, pay attention to leveling the ground. It can be paired with ceramic tile adhesive powder to reduce the problem of hollowing appropriately.

Avoid improper operation or poor quality of matching materials, ensure that the mortar is filled with tiles, and level with cement mortar in advance.
