How to order

1) Measure your wheelhead as shown in the video guide below.  (Please do not use manufacturers guidelines to take measurements as they can sometimes differ from your own wheel).

2) Select your wheelhead size from the options in the drop down boxes.

3) If you don't see your size listed, select 'Bespoke Size Requested' and then enter your own measurementsin the 'Bespoke Design' box. We will then make you something that is custom-fit to your wheel measurements.

Please note that our Over-the-Wheel Tile Batt Systems are specifically designed to be slightly bigger than your wheelhead measurement.  This is essential in order for the master batt to go on and off easily.  It is quite normal to have a millimetre or so of movement when you put your master batt on the wheel.  When the wheel starts spinning, and the wet batt rug is in place, there will be no excess movement.  This is part of the unique design.  It has been successfully tested for throwing up to 10kg of clay.  

The minimum size wheel head required for this batt system is 300mm.  If your wheelhead is smaller, take a look at our Mini Over-the-Wheel Russian Doll Batt System.  

How to look after me
Do not leave batts soaking in water.  Wood is a natural Product and this could cause swelling or warping.
To clean just wipe with a damp sponge to remove any clay.
Remove the batts and rug from the wheel when not in use.   
Do not stack these batts together, dry & store vertically..
Do not use metal scourers or screwdrivers on these batts as this can result in damage.
