A:Â I use the 1/4 inch spacers because I use the larger tiles (18 inch). The 1/4 spacers are more appropriate for the larger tiles

A:Â Yes. Follow your tile maker's recommendations on spacing. They also recommend particular grouts.

A:Â hard spacers are better for plank flooring since they don't "give" when you are tapping floor into place

A: Hi. These are flexible and meant to keep tile tiles square to each other. That kind of Floor you want to use would compress these. I’d just measure your gap under the baseboard. Good luck.

Good, no issues. They don't help you level the tile so if you're working on a very expensive project, you may want to consider using one that helps you level. These are just your typical, average, old school spacers used by many but if i did a backsplash or shower project, i'd use something else to ensure it's flush w each other and there is no lippage

functional but flawed
The spacers are cut at angle, therefore they don't sit straight up and down. Of the 4 sides you would think you could just use any side but you'd be wrong. Because they are cut at an angle, only 2 sides are usable. They are also out of balance so truly only one side is usable. When racing against set time with mortar, there is not time to investigate which side to use.

Versatile and cheap, we use these puppies for a wide variety of tile applications. When used to space tiles, they can be squished slightly to accommodate tiles of slightly differing sizes. Laid flat on a counter, they provide the an nice gap for caulking.

These Spacers are so easy to use!!!! These took the guessing right out of my tile project. These spacers made it easy for us to keep straight lines and consistent grout lines through out my tile project. The spacers kept everything square and tight. Don't think it is possible to do a tile job without them. There were no draw backs with this product. Would recommend spacer for all tile projects.

Bag should say "an assortment of spacers". I spent hours laying out my tiles and it just did not look right. After investigating my tiles and other things I found the size of the spacers varied from about ,0995" to about .1325". That is more than a 30% variance. Pick and measure these spacers before using.

Inconsistent sizes-thicknesses! I wish I had read the reviews before buying these spacers. I wish I had realized that the spacers were not all the same size as I was installing my tile. Check the photos I included and you'll see what I mean. If you have already bought a bag of these you will have to hand pick the ones to use to make sure they are the same size. If you have not bought them yet I'd suggest you shop for another brand.
