FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Tile Rite Levelling Spacer?

Its main purpose is to ensure perfect tile-to-tile alignment and create a consistent 2mm grout line, especially crucial for large format tiles.

Can I use these spacers for grout lines larger than 2mm?

Yes, you can combine the 2mm spacer with regular tile spacers to achieve grout joints up to 6mm wide.

What types of tiles are these spacers best suited for?

They are designed for large format Porcelain, Marble, and Stone tiles up to 12mm thick.

Do I need a special tool to use these spacers?

You will need tile levelling wedges and a tool (like pliers or a dedicated levelling tool) to tighten the wedges.

How do I remove the spacers after the tile adhesive has set?

Typically, levelling spacers are removed by carefully tapping them with a rubber mallet or the handle of your trowel, often in the direction of the grout line.

Are these spacers reusable?

While they are designed to be durable, they are often single-use per installation to ensure proper function and alignment. Cleaning them thoroughly after use may allow for some reuse in less critical applications.

What is the benefit of using a levelling system with these spacers?

Levelling systems, used in conjunction with these spacers, prevent 'lippage' – where one tile edge is higher than another – ensuring a smooth, flat, and safe surface.

Troubleshooting

Tiles are not aligning evenly.

Ensure wedges are fully engaged with the spacer and tighten evenly. Check that the spacers are correctly positioned and not obstructed by adhesive.

Spacer breaks during tightening.

Avoid excessive force when tightening wedges. If using for thicker tiles, ensure the spacer is suitable or combine carefully with other spacers.

Uneven grout lines after removing wedges.

Ensure all spacers were removed correctly. Double-check that the correct size spacers were used for the desired grout line width.

Pros and Cons

  • Reduces the risk of uneven tiling and lippage.
  • Simplifies the process of installing large format tiles.

Cons

  • Specifically designed for a 2mm grout line; requires additional spacers for wider joints.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Place the Tile Rite Levelling Spacer at the corner where four tiles will meet, or along the edge between two tiles.
  2. Insert levelling wedges through the slots in the spacer to engage with the tile edges.
  3. Tighten the wedges using pliers or a levelling tool to draw the tiles together and ensure a flat surface. Do not overtighten.
  4. For grout lines wider than 2mm, combine with standard tile spacers before wedging.

Compatibility:

  • Tile Types: Ideal for Porcelain, Marble, and Stone tiles.
  • Tile Thickness: Suitable for tiles up to 12mm thick.
  • Grout Line: Primarily for a 2mm grout line, combinable up to 6mm.
  • Systems: Works with standard tile levelling wedges and pliers.

Care:

  • Clean spacers after use with water to remove adhesive residue. Allow to dry completely before storage.
  • Store in a dry place away from direct sunlight to prevent material degradation.
