Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Ensure the surface is clean, level, and prepared according to the tile adhesive manufacturer's instructions.
- Application: Apply adhesive to the surface or the back of the tile.
- Placement: Insert the 2mm spacers at each corner of the tile.
- Positioning: Carefully position the tile, ensuring it is level and aligned with adjacent tiles.
- Setting: Allow the adhesive to set according to the manufacturer's instructions. Avoid disturbing the tiles during this period.
- Grouting: Once the adhesive has fully cured, remove the spacers (if reusable) and grout the joints. If the spacers are designed to be embedded, grout directly over them.
Compatibility: Compatible with ceramic, porcelain, and stone tiles.
Care: Clean up any adhesive or grout from the spacers immediately after use. Store the remaining spacers in a dry place.
