FAQs

How many spacers are in a pack?

What is the size of the grout line?

These spacers are designed to create a 3mm grout line.

Are these spacers reusable?

Yes, the Vitrex long leg tile spacers are designed for reusability.

What tile types are these spacers compatible with?

These spacers are compatible with most common tile types, including ceramic and porcelain.

How do I remove the spacers?

Once the adhesive is dry, gently remove the spacers. Use a rocking motion to avoid damaging the tiles.

Can I use these spacers for larger grout lines?

No, these are 3mm spacers. You will need different sized spacers for larger grout lines.

What should I do if the spacers are hard to remove?

Make sure the adhesive is fully cured. You might need to use a putty knife to gently pry them out, be careful not to damage the tiles.

Troubleshooting

Spacers are difficult to remove.

Wait for the adhesive to cure properly before removing the spacers. Use a gentle rocking motion and avoid excessive force to prevent tile damage. Consider using a putty knife to carefully pry them out.

Tiles are uneven or not aligned.

Ensure the surface is level before starting. Check the tile alignment frequently while the adhesive is setting. Adjust tiles as needed before the adhesive hardens.

Grout lines are inconsistent.

Double-check that you're using the correct spacer size (3mm in this case). Make sure the spacers are fully inserted and that no debris is preventing proper spacing.
