are small, usually cross-shaped or T-shaped, plastic or rubber pieces used during the installation of tiles. They serve to ensure uniform spacing between tiles, helping to create straight grout lines and a professional finish. Here’s how they’re typically used:
- Spacing: Tile spacers are placed between adjacent tiles at the corners to maintain consistent spacing. The size of the spacer determines the width of the grout line between the tiles.
- Alignment: They help ensure that tiles are aligned properly, both horizontally and vertically, resulting in a neat and uniform appearance.
- Leveling: Some tile spacers are designed with built-in leveling mechanisms to help ensure that tiles are installed evenly and without any lippage (unevenness between adjacent tiles).
- Grout Removal: After the tiles are installed and the adhesive has dried, the spacers are removed before grouting. This creates space for the grout to be applied evenly between the tiles.
