Application Instructions

• Preparation: Ensure the tiling surface is clean, level, and ready for installation. Select the appropriate spacer size (2mm, 3mm, 4mm, or 5mm) based on your desired grout line width and tile design.
• Placement: Apply tile adhesive to the surface, then position the first tile. Insert long-leg spacers at each corner or along edges, pressing them firmly into the adhesive to secure them upright between tiles.
• Alignment: Continue laying tiles, placing spacers as needed to maintain uniform spacing and alignment across the entire wall or floor area. Adjust tiles as necessary to ensure a level surface, using the spacers as guides.
• Removal: Once the adhesive has fully set (typically 24-48 hours, depending on the adhesive type), carefully remove the spacers by hand or with pliers, ensuring not to disturb the tiles. Clean the grout lines and proceed with grouting.
• Storage: After use, store any remaining spacers in their original bag or a dry container to keep them organized and ready for future projects.

Care & Maintenance

• Cleaning: After removal, wipe spacers with a damp cloth to remove adhesive residue or dust, ensuring they’re clean for reuse or storage. For stubborn residue, use a mild soap solution, then rinse and dry thoroughly.
• Drying: Allow spacers to air dry completely after cleaning to prevent moisture retention, which could affect their shape or performance over time.
• Storage: Keep spacers in a cool, dry place, ideally in their original packaging, to protect them from damage or deformation. Avoid stacking heavy items on top to maintain their long-leg structure.
• Avoidances: Refrain from using harsh chemicals or abrasive tools during cleaning, as these could weaken the plastic. Do not leave spacers embedded in adhesive permanently, as they are intended for temporary alignment use only.
