Spacer size sets the grout line and it is the decision that shows most on a finished wall. A 2mm spacer gives a fine joint that suits a regular machine-made tile. A 6mm or 8mm spacer suits a handmade or a rustic tile where the tiles themselves vary. The spacer size is also fixed once the first row is laid, so it is decided before tiling starts.
Once that is chosen, the sequence is fixed. Adhesive is spread with a notched trowel, the tiles are set with spacers, the spacers come out, grout is worked in with a float, and the surface is cleaned off with a sponge float before it sets.
A grout float and a sponge float are different tools used minutes apart. The grout float has a firm rubber face that presses grout into the joint. The sponge float cleans the excess off the tile face without pulling it back out of the joint. Deep sponge face floats at 280 x 140 x 20mm hold more water for cleaning a larger area.
Removal work uses different tools again. A grout rake takes failed grout out of a joint without chipping the tile edge, and a silicone sealant removal tool cuts a bead out cleanly. Spacers come in packs of approximately 150 and 250. Send the tile and joint width to 07754288583 on WhatsApp. An adhesive spreader and grouter at 175mm combines two stages in one hand tool.
