Questions & Answers

Have a Question?

Ask a Question
  • I’m setting square backsplash tiles. Is there a rule of thumb for calculating how many spacers I need based on the number of tiles?

    It will depend on tile size, installation pattern, and type of spacer to be used. For example, a 3"x6" subway tile installed with a 50% brick joint using horseshoe spacers would be upwards of 20 per square foot. If the same tile was being installed using T-spacers, it would be 10-12 per square foot. Please contact us to discuss your particular tile size and layout by our chat option or call us 262-790-2170
