Achieve a professional finish with tiling spacers from Kingfisher Direct.

Tile spacers are small, cross-shaped or T-shaped plastic tiling tools used to ensure a consistent, uniform grout joint width between tiles. 

They are an essential component for both professional tilers and DIY enthusiasts, allowing you to achieve a high-quality, professional-looking tiled surface on walls and floors. By holding the tiles in place while the adhesive cures, tile spacers prevent them from shifting, a factor which is especially important with larger-format or heavier tiles.

Using tile spacers is crucial for several reasons, such as:

• Uniform Grout Lines: Tile spacers create uniform gaps between tiles. This consistency is vital for an aesthetically pleasing finish, as uneven grout lines immediately draw the eye and make the whole installation look messy!

• Preventing Tile Movement: As the tile adhesive dries and cures, the tiling spacers hold the tiles firmly in place, preventing them from slipping or moving down the wall or floor. This is particularly important for tiling vertically on walls or when using fast-setting adhesives.

• Helping Tile Variation: Even tiles of the same size can vary slightly. Tile spacers help distribute these minor differences evenly across the tiled area, preventing noticeable misalignment.

• Improving Structural Integrity: Consistent grout joints ensure proper grouting and structural integrity. The grout not only provides a waterproof seal but also acts as a buffer, allowing minor tile expansion and contraction with temperature changes.
