FAQs

How many tiles can one pack of 200 spacers cover?

One pack of 200 spacers is typically sufficient for a medium-sized area, depending on tile size and layout. For a standard 12x12 inch tile laid in a grid, 200 spacers can support approximately 25-30 tiles.

Can I reuse these tile spacers?

StrataRise tile spacers are designed for single use. While they may not break, reusing them can compromise the precision of spacing in subsequent applications.

What is the difference between T-shaped and regular L-shaped spacers?

T-shaped spacers provide consistent spacing from all four sides of a tile, ideal for grid layouts. L-shaped spacers are more common for linear patterns or situations where spacing on two sides is primarily needed.

Which spacer width should I choose?

The choice depends on your aesthetic preference and tile manufacturer recommendations. Common choices are 1.5 mm to 3 mm for a modern, minimal grout line, or 5 mm and up for more traditional looks or tiles with slightly uneven edges.

Are these spacers suitable for very small mosaic tiles?

For very small mosaic tiles, a different type of spacer or manual spacing might be more appropriate. These T-shaped spacers are best suited for standard to large format tiles.

What is the weight of the pack?

The pack of 200 StrataRise tile spacers weighs approximately 0.2755778275 pounds.

Troubleshooting

Spacers break during installation

Ensure you are using the correct spacer width for your tiles and that the adhesive bed is not excessively thick or uneven, which can put undue pressure on the spacer.

Spacers are difficult to remove

Allow adequate curing time for the adhesive. If still stubborn, try gently tapping around the tile edge or using a thin, flat tool to carefully lever the spacer out. Avoid excessive force that could damage the tile or grout.

Uneven grout lines despite using spacers

Verify that the tiles themselves are flat and not warped. Ensure spacers are fully inserted and that tiles are pressed evenly into the adhesive. Check that the subfloor is level.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures perfectly uniform grout lines for a professional look.
  • Available in a wide range of sizes to suit diverse tiling applications.
  • Simplifies the tiling process, especially for beginners.
  • Helps in planning grout widths accurately, reducing waste and errors.
  • Cost-effective solution with 200 pieces per pack.

Cons

  • Single-use product, requiring replacement for each project.
  • May be more challenging to remove from certain adhesives or large format tiles.
  • The T-shape might not be ideal for all edge or corner tiling situations compared to specialized corner spacers.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place a StrataRise tile spacer at the junction of each tile corner before setting the tile in place. For straight runs, position spacers between adjacent tiles along the intended grout line. Ensure the spacer is seated correctly to provide the desired gap.

Compatibility: These spacers are compatible with most standard tile types, including ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and glass tiles. They are suitable for use with various types of tile adhesive and grout.

Care: StrataRise tile spacers are designed for single use. After the tile adhesive has cured sufficiently (typically 24-48 hours, depending on adhesive manufacturer instructions), carefully remove the spacers. They can be gently pried out or tapped loose. Dispose of used spacers responsibly. No cleaning or maintenance is required for the spacers themselves.
