Afternoon chaps

There have been a few post about different levelling systems recently. Read 'em, intrigued by them, but spotted a possible issue......
The Acorn system, the splines are available in 2 or 3mm thick, so they can be used as spacers also. Genesis straps are 1.2mm and Rubi are only 0.75mm, which is...

We are having a constant battle with learners and employers of apprentices regarding leaving tile spacers in the joint. This is something I have never done on any job ( that I can remember:rolleyes5:). There are loads of YouTube vids and many pieces of literature that show the spacer in the...

Any recommendations for buying big volumes of long leg spacers? Good prices on trade tiler but NI postage is coming up as £15 :yikes: so not viable unfortunately.
Hello all. Just a quick one. I spoke to a guy yesterday who told me he grouted over some of his cross shaped floor spacers which he laid down in the joint between 4 tiles. The spacer has since reappeared on the joint but due to the grout having set he can't remove it. I told him he'll have to...

often overlooked by many tilers a good tile spacer is important ;having used many over the years i have found the raimondi 3 mm spacer to be the best;the spacer is large and holds the tile perfectly in place and due to its shape it is easy to fit between the tiles and more importantly easy to...
Been using the Sigma tile wedges this week ... Really good they are.. worth getting some IMHO , they are upto 5mm depth but are wider in size than the rubi ones and more robust IMO..
Anyone else use them .?

I'm after some advice. Having the above tiles fitted today and was wondering what spacers people use? I think it looks better without any spacers as there is still 0.5mm gap due to the edges of the tiles bevelled. What do you guys think?
