About this item
- Uniform joint spacing at 1/8, 3/16 or 1/4 in, color coded so you can see at a glance which you are using.
- Vertical and horizontal alignment in one component.
- Load transfer between tiles, which is what gives a monolithic surface rather than independent slabs.
- Cuttable. The disk can be cut into a half or quarter for edges, and the bars can be removed entirely to leave a flat disk when you need support mid-field on a large tile.
- Part of the Gator Tile System with Gator Base, Gator Block Bond and Gator Tile Edge.

Why Gator Spacers?
Set Porcelain Tile Directly on Gator Base
Exterior porcelain is unforgiving. A tile that sits a millimetre proud of its neighbour is a trip hazard and it catches every low sun. Spacers fix alignment in all three axes at once.

Where Gator Spacers Works
Alliance rates Gator Spacers for:
- Exterior porcelain tile patios
- Pool surrounds and terraces in porcelain
- Sidewalks in porcelain tile
- Any Gator Tile System installation over Gator Base
What These Are For (Straight From the Manufacturer)
Exterior porcelain tile installations only. These are part of the Gator Tile System, not a general-purpose tile spacer.
They work with Gator Block Bond XP adhesive and Gator Tile Edge around the perimeter. Used on their own without the rest of the system they do not deliver the load transfer.

Quick Answers
How many spacers do I need?
Multiply your square footage by Alliance's factor for your tile size: 0.4 for 16x16, 0.35 for 18x18 and 20x20, 0.75 for 24x24, 0.29 for 36x36.
What are the colors?
Blue is 1/8 in, grey is 3/16 in, black is 1/4 in.
Can I cut them?
Yes. Alliance says the disk can be cut into a half or quarter unit, and the bars can be removed to leave a flat disk for mid-field support on large tiles.
Do I need Gator Base to use these?
They are designed as part of the Gator Tile System, which puts porcelain directly on Gator Base panels with Block Bond adhesive.
How many in a pack?
50 spacers per pack, and 6 packs per box.
What adhesive do they use?
Gator Block Bond XP polyurethane.
