by Swastiktile Spacers Swastik Tile Spacers
When it comes to lay tiles on the floor of a new project, one of the most important aspects that are considered is of spacing between the tiles which should be uniform & straight. Ahead of human errors, there are tile spacers taken in use to make sure that uniform spacing is maintained no matter what the design style is chosen.  

Why Consider Tile Spacing?

The utility of tile spacers is with the correct alignment of tiles on the floor. As a general thought, it would seem unconventionally odd if the tiles are unequally placed or installed. The appropriate style & design can be made if the spacing between these rectangular pieces is made constant. This spacing is predetermined before cutting & laying of tiles. What generally happens in cases of non uniform spacing is that the edge-line tiles may have to be cut into a smaller size or adjustment, leading to design variations. Starting out the tiling work without apt measurement on the basis of guesses, the whole of arrangement will become unattractive. So, with spacers, a finish to the ground work will be ensured.

Size of Spacers as per Needs

For lining up the tiles, tile spacers are of prime use. But there are different sizes of spacers available as per needs. The choice of spacers is generally based on the width to be maintained within the tiles. The available sizes are of 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 6mm & similar others while the one that is highly used is of 6mm tile spacer. The reason of popularity is not of any significance as the tillers feel 6mm spacers to provide best form of consistency in separation width maintenance. The important thing is that the space of the floor & the design chosen should be well covered with respect to the size of the tile.

Simple Tips for Choosing Spacers

4mm or 6 mm tile spacers, which should be taken in use? This can be chosen if the type of floor is considered. If the floor base over which the tiles are to be placed is not regular, the small size spacer will be much more useful as it will result in smaller grout lines.

Furthermore, it is with the help of professional’s knowledge & suggestions that the choice of tile spacers should be made. With their experience, they know what kind of spacer will suit any particular kind of tile chosen to give the most perfect look & appeal.
