FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
- What are the benefits of tile spacers?
Tile spacers help maintain a consistent grout joint width between tiles, making accurate positioning easier and creating even grout lines. Different spacer sizes allow you to choose the required joint width for your tile type, layout and application.
- How do I choose the right tile spacer size?
The right tile spacer size depends on the tile type, dimensional tolerances, application and required grout joint width. Rectified tiles can generally be installed with narrower joints than non-rectified tiles, which may require more space to accommodate variations in size.
- How many tile spacers do I need for my project?
The number of tile spacers you need depends on the tile size, laying pattern, installation area and type of spacer used. With classic cross-shaped spacers, a spacer is typically positioned where four tile corners meet in a standard grid layout. Different laying patterns may require a different number or type of spacer.
- When should I remove tile spacers?
Remove tile spacers before grouting, once the tile adhesive has set sufficiently to hold the tiles securely in position. Follow the adhesive manufacturer’s instructions for the required setting time before grouting.
