Tile Cross Spacer 1.0 mm with Central Pull-Out Handle

1 mm in stock | 100 pcs per bag | 20 mm overall span

What It Is

• A tile cross spacer pressed into the joint where four tiles meet.
• Four flat arms hold the tile corners in line; the joint width stays constant while the adhesive sets.
• A raised centre handle is pulled out afterwards and the whole cross comes out with it.
• It sets joint WIDTH only. It is not a leveling system and does not correct height differences between tiles.

Why Buyers Choose This Spacer

1. 1 mm Cross Spacer For Standard Floor And Wall Joints: The 1 mm moulding matches the joint width used on standard ceramic and porcelain tiling. Four flat arms seat on all four tile corners at once, so every joint in a run keeps the same width while the adhesive is still open. Suitable for importers, distributors and tiling contractors running repeat residential and commercial work.
2. Central Pull-Out Device Removes The Whole Spacer: Once the spacer is set, the setter pulls the raised centre and the complete cross comes out in one movement. The body is never levered out blade-first, so the joint line stays clean and the tile edge is not chipped. The same motion works on wall and floor work, and the spacer can be reused when it is pulled before the adhesive cures.
3. Pull It Out Before The Adhesive Cures: The centre handle is an 8 mm high, 7.3 mm wide plate rising from the joint, so the spacer can be lifted out while the adhesive is still open. This suits porcelain and polished surfaces that do not tolerate adhesive residue, and it avoids the bending and finger strain of prying out conventional crosses. No tools are needed at any stage.
4. Moulded From Virgin Polypropylene (PP): We mould from Virgin Polypropylene (PP) with no recycled filler, so the four arms hold their shape under load and the spacer does not absorb water. It suits bathroom, kitchen and balcony installation as well as dry interior floors, and it is unaffected by the moisture in tile adhesive.
5. OEM Packaging, Colour And Size Options: Spacers ship 100 pieces per bag. Private label bag printing, custom carton markings, custom colour and additional joint widths are available on request, with new joint widths subject to order quantity.

Product Details

Frequently Asked Questions

What is this product and what is it used for?

It is a tile cross spacer, also searched as a cross tile spacer, tile cross, tile joint spacer or tile spacing spacer. It is pressed into the joint where four tiles meet, so the four arms hold the tile corners in line and the joint width stays constant while the adhesive sets. A raised centre handle is pulled out afterwards and the complete cross comes out with it. Ceramic and porcelain wall and floor work both use the same spacer.

Which joint widths do you offer?

The range covers 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm joint widths. The 1 mm and 2 mm moulds are running, so those two ship from stock. Other joint widths are made to order, with a new mould opened once the order quantity supports it. Tell us the tile format and grout plan and we will confirm the right size for your project.

How is the spacer installed and removed?

Press it into the joint by hand where four tiles meet; no setting jig or tool is needed. Because the body is semi-translucent the joint line can be checked while the adhesive is still open, so a corner can be re-seated straight away. After tiling, pull the raised centre handle and the complete cross comes out as one piece, ideally before the adhesive cures. The 1 mm spacer measures 20 mm across, with an arm width of about 2.5 mm and a centre handle 8 mm high by 7.3 mm wide.

Which tiles and applications is it suitable for?

Wall and floor installation with ceramic tiles, porcelain tiles, natural stone and mosaic. There is no tile size limitation: larger format tiles simply take more spacers according to the layout and joint configuration. This is a joint spacing product, not a tile leveling system, and it does not adjust height differences between tiles; it sets and holds the joint width.

Is it suitable for bathrooms and other wet areas?

Yes. The spacer is moulded from Virgin Polypropylene (PP) with no recycled filler and does not absorb water, so it suits bathroom, kitchen, balcony and other wet-area installation as well as dry interior floors. It is unaffected by the moisture in tile adhesive. Wall and floor work both use the same spacer.
