Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the exact size of the grout line created by these spacers?

These spacers create a precise 3/32 inch (2mm) grout line.

Are these spacers suitable for all types of tiles?

They are optimized for large format and rectified tiles. While they can be used with other tiles, their long leg design is particularly beneficial for larger formats.

How many spacers are in a pack?

Each pack contains 300 Rubi Long Leg Tile Spacers.

Can these spacers be reused?

While technically possible to clean and reuse, they are generally considered single-use items for installation efficiency and ensuring a clean finish.

What is the benefit of the 'Long Leg' design?

The long legs provide greater stability, better visibility, and help maintain alignment on larger tiles, reducing the chance of them getting lost or shifting.

Are these spacers easy to remove after tiling?

Yes, once the tile adhesive has set sufficiently, they can typically be removed by hand or with gentle prying.

Troubleshooting

Spacers are difficult to insert or remove.

Ensure the grout line is clear of debris. For removal, gently pry them out with a thin tool or pull them out by hand once adhesive is set.

Uneven grout lines despite using spacers.

Check for tile lippage (uneven height between tiles) or ensure spacers are fully seated and not obstructed by tile edges. Verify tile back buttering is consistent.

Spacers break during insertion.

Ensure you are using the correct size for your desired grout joint. The quality material should prevent breakage under normal installation pressure; excessive force may still cause issues.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Ensures uniform grout lines for a professional aesthetic.
  • Long legs offer enhanced stability and ease of placement.
  • Durable construction minimizes breakage during use.
  • Generous pack quantity suitable for substantial projects.
  • Ideal for modern large format and rectified tile installations.

Cons

  • May be less suitable for smaller tiles or irregular patterns.
  • Requires careful placement to avoid shifting during adhesive curing.
  • Can potentially be more visible than smaller spacers on certain tile designs.
  • Cost might be a consideration compared to generic spacers for smaller jobs.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Place your first tile.
  2. Insert Rubi Long Leg Tile Spacers at the corners where tiles will meet.
  3. Place the adjacent tile, ensuring it meets the spacer.
  4. Continue placing tiles and spacers around the room, ensuring consistent insertion.
  5. Remove spacers once the tile adhesive has set sufficiently (refer to adhesive manufacturer's instructions).

Compatibility:

These spacers are specifically designed for large format tiles (typically larger than 12"x12") and rectified tiles (tiles with precisely cut edges). They are suitable for use with ceramic, porcelain, natural stone, and other tile materials where precise spacing is desired.

Care:

Rubi Long Leg Tile Spacers are single-use items for installation. After removal, they can be discarded. Clean any adhesive residue from the spacers if you intend to reuse them, though this is not their primary design purpose.
