1.Name: tile spacer,plastic cross

2.Material: Mostly mature products on the market always use PE material. Its color is white, with the advantages of good toughness, tension, non-toxic, impact resistance, resistance to wet and so on.

3.Product use: Adjust the aperture between ceramic tile, to make the ceramic tile more neat and beautiful, and make the aperture uniform.

When we referring to the laying of the ceramic tile, we must stress on the aperture. Currently there are some so-called seamless ceramic tile on the market, but actually it is a trick. Remaining the aperture of the ceramic tile is not only to adjust the problem of neat but also to remain the place for expansion and contraction. Perhaps , everyone have heard of seamless steel tube before, but the seamless ceramic tile is different from the seemless steel tube. We can prove this through physics. The inflation of the seamless steel tube is 360 degrees outward, so there is no cracks. But we usually lay the ceramic tile in a closed space, to take the metope as an example, generally there must be some wall or floor around the ceramic tile. If there is no aperture between the ceramic tile, and when the inflation happened, where did the ceramic tile elongate? Obviously, if we want to achive the seamless ceramic tile, we must make sure there is no expansion and contraction. And everyong knows that it can’t happen. So what is the result if we forced to make the seamless ceramic tile? The answer is :ceramic tile arch.

4.Specifications: 1.5mm,  2.0mm,  2.5m,  3.0mm,  4.0mm,  5.0mm,  6.0mm,  8.0mm and so on.

1.5mm just means the width is 1.5mm

For the wall space, we usually use the specifications of 1—2mm, for some small tile, we usually remain the aperture more bigger to make it more beautiful.

And for the floor, commonly we use the specifications of 3—10mm, but for some vintage ceramic tile, we will use the specifications of 5mm—10mm.

The following information is only for your reference. And the specific size is according to your hobbies.

1.5mm                 for seamless brick and marble tiles

2.0mm                 for wall brick            

2.5mm,3.0mm          for small size ceramic tile        

4.0mm,5.0mm,6.0mm     for middle size ceramic tile     

8.0mm                 for big size ceramic tile and outdoor brick

5. dosage

 In normal circumstances, one brick with one cross. We can take down the 5mm cross when the brick is almost dry and use it again. Usually we can use it for 3 times to save some costs. But it is hard to take down the 3mm and 2mm crosses, otherwise the brick is easy to drop. only after the brick is thoroughly dry, can we take down the cross. So it is difficult to reuse the 3mm and 2mm crosses. If you don’t want to take down the cross, you can remain it in the wall and fill the seam. We suggest you to buy the cross according the the principle of one brick with one cross.

6.the purpose of remaining seam

first, in order to adjust the aperture size of the brick and make it neat and beautiful.

Second, in order to remain space for the sagging from the above bricks, avoid brick empty and falling off.

7.Using methods: keep upright and keep flat
