Spacers & Wedges

While the beauty of your selected tiles surely contributes to the overall appeal of your tiled area, the sometimes neglected features of tile spacers and wedges are just as important in attaining a professional and faultless finish. At HighTiles, we recognize the significance of these seemingly little components and provide a selection of high-quality spacers and wedges to guarantee your tiling job is successful.

Understanding the Function of Tile Spacers and Wedges

Tile spacers and wedges are vital equipment for achieving equal grout lines and level tile installation. They keep the tiles from moving throughout the setting process, resulting in a tidy and professional finish.

Tile Spacers: These little plastic or cross-shaped devices are inserted between tiles to keep gaps constant. They come in a variety of sizes to fit different grout line widths.

Tile Leveling Spacers and Wedges: These systems are made up of two components: a clip that fits between neighboring tiles and a wedge that is fitted into the clip to level the tiles. They are especially handy for large-format tiles and maintaining a completely level surface.

The Benefits of Using Tile Spacers and Wedges

Using tile spacers and wedges offers several advantages:

Consistent grout lines: Ensures uniform spacing between tiles for a professional appearance.

Level installation: Prevents uneven tiles and reduces the risk of cracking.

Time-saving: Improves efficiency by speeding up the tiling process.

Improved adhesion: Creates optimal conditions for adhesive application.

Reduced grout lines: Minimizes the amount of grout required, saving time and material.

Choosing the Right Spacers and Wedges

Selecting the appropriate spacers and wedges depends on several factors:

Tile size: Larger tiles often require larger spacers.

Desired grout line width: Choose spacers accordingly.

Tile type: Some tile types, such as porcelain, may require specific spacers.

Project complexity: For intricate designs or large-format tiles, levelling systems may be necessary.

How to Use Tile Spacers and Wedges

Prepare the surface: Ensure the substrate is clean, level, and ready for tiling.

Apply adhesive: Spread the tile adhesive evenly on the surface according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Place spacers: Insert spacers between the tiles to maintain consistent gaps.

Use levelling system: For large format tiles or precise levelling, use tile levelling clips and wedges.

Remove spacers: Once the adhesive has set, remove the spacers.

Apply grout: Fill the grout lines with grout and finish as required.
