Tile Cross Spacer with Central Pull-Out Handle
Joint widths 1 mm to 3 mm | 1.5 / 2.5 / 3 mm made to order | 100 pcs per bag
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
- Five Joint Widths From One Design: The range covers 1 mm, 1.5 mm, 2 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm nominal joint widths on the same four-arm body, so a specification can be met without changing the setting method on site or stocking a second type of spacer.
- 1 mm And 2 mm From Stock, Other Widths To Order: The 1 mm and 2 mm moulds are running and ship from stock in about 3 days. The 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm 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.
- Pull The Centre Handle, The Whole Cross Comes Out: 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.
- Four Flat Arms Seat On All Four Corners: The arms sit on the tile corners at once and hold the joint width constant while the adhesive is still open. The semi-translucent body lets the setter read the joint line and re-seat a corner straight away, which suits both wall and floor work.
- Virgin Polypropylene (PP) For Wet And Dry Areas: We mould from Virgin Polypropylene (PP) with no recycled filler, and the spacer does not absorb water, so it suits bathroom, kitchen and balcony work as well as dry interior floors. It is unaffected by the moisture in tile adhesive.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which joint widths are available, and which are made to order?
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. The 1.5 mm, 2.5 mm and 3 mm 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.
Q2. How does the centre pull-out handle work?
The centre handle is an 8 mm high, 7.3 mm wide plate rising from the joint, so it can be gripped while the adhesive is still open. Pull it 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. No tools are needed at any stage.
Q3. Which tiles and applications are these spacers 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. Wider joints are commonly used on natural stone and exterior paving, where the joint also absorbs small variations in tile size.
Q4. Is this product a tile leveling system?
No. It is a joint spacing product. It sets and holds the joint width between tiles and does not correct height differences between tiles. If your project also needs the tile faces brought level, that is a separate accessory and we will say so plainly rather than describe this spacer as something it is not.
Q5. How do I choose the right joint width for my project?
The joint width follows the tile and the grout plan, not the spacer. As a general guide, 1 mm suits standard ceramic and porcelain work; 2 mm is the usual width for large format porcelain; and 2.5 mm to 3 mm suits natural stone and rustic surfaces where a wider line absorbs small variations in tile size. Tell us the tile format and we will confirm the size.
