tile spacers |
Tile spacers are used to get an equal gap between each tile. A larger gap between some kinds of tiles will enhance their appearance.
 |
 |
Tile spacers are normally made form plastic and come in several different sizes. |
 |
Tile spacers can be used on each corner of the tile and
ensure that the tiles are laid squarely.
Most DIY books show people to use spacers this way but this is not the best way to use them. |
 |
Tile spacers are normally left in place and then grouted over, but this often means that the grout is too thin where the spacer is and often the spacers can be seen through the grout! |
 |
Tile spacers are much better if they are used like
this, often referred to as "pegging".
The spacers can be removed and used time and time again, saving money. |
| Using the tile spacers in this way can be very helpful when a thick tile is being used as normally the spacer will be lost in the bed of adhesive. | |
ENSURE THAT THE TILE ADHESIVE IS FULLY SET BEFORE GROUTING!
