Techniseal Porcelain Tile Spacers, Rubber and Plastic
Even Joints Across A Whole Porcelain Patio, Without Eyeballing Every Tile
Porcelain shows everything, and an uneven joint line is the first thing anyone notices. Techniseal makes their tile spacer in two materials for two different priorities. The rubber spacer guarantees even gaps and adds noise reduction properties. The plastic spacer guarantees even gaps and adds stability, with a newly optimized 10 mm height.

Why Contractors Ask for Techniseal Tile Spacers by Name
Setting porcelain by eye works for the first few tiles and drifts after that. By the far side of a patio the joints tell the whole story.
- They guarantee even space gaps between tiles. That is the core job, and on porcelain it is the difference between a professional install and an obvious one.
- The rubber version reduces noise. On a balcony, terrace, or any tile over a hard structural deck, that is a real benefit rather than a marketing line.
- The plastic version adds stability and comes in a newly optimized 10 mm height, which suits standard outdoor porcelain joint specifications.
- They save time and effort. Techniseal makes that claim for both versions, and anyone who has set a large porcelain field without spacers knows why.
- The rubber version works indoors and outdoors, so one product covers an interior floor and the terrace it opens onto.
- Made from quality material rather than the brittle spacers that snap when you try to pull them.

Spacer quantity depends on your tile format and layout. Smaller tiles mean more intersections and more spacers per square foot. Work out your tile count and intersections before ordering rather than guessing by area.
Where Techniseal Tile Spacers Works
Anywhere porcelain is being set to a consistent joint.
- Outdoor porcelain paver patios and terraces
- Porcelain pool surrounds
- Balconies and rooftop terraces, where the rubber version helps with noise
- Interior porcelain floors
- Large format tile installations
- Pedestal and adhered porcelain systems
- Any job where joint consistency will be judged up close
Where Techniseal Tile Spacers Should NOT Be Used (Straight From the Manufacturer)
Match the spacer to your specified joint width. The plastic version is optimized at 10 mm, so confirm that suits your design before ordering.
Spacers set the gap; they do not level the tile. Use a leveling system where flatness across large format tile is critical.
Remove spacers per your installation system before jointing, unless the system specifically leaves them in place.
Read the current technical data sheet for the sizing available in each material.

How to Use Techniseal Tile Spacers
Follow your porcelain installation system instructions. This is the shape of the job:
- Confirm your specified joint width and choose the matching spacer.
- Set the first tiles and establish your reference lines.
- Place spacers at each intersection as you lay, keeping them consistent across the field.
- Check the joint line against your reference regularly rather than only at the end of a row.
- Remove the spacers at the point your installation system directs.
- Joint with Techniseal NextGel Porcelain once the tiles are set and the surface is clean.
Check your lines as you go, not at the end. A drift of a millimetre per tile is invisible at tile three and glaring at tile thirty.
Quick Answers
Rubber or plastic, which should I use?
Rubber if noise reduction matters, such as balconies and terraces over structure, or if you want one spacer for indoor and outdoor work. Plastic if you want added stability and the 10 mm optimized height.
Do they work with any tile?
They are made for porcelain tile installation. Check the sizing against your specified joint width.
Can I use the rubber ones indoors?
Yes. Techniseal rates the rubber spacer for both indoor and outdoor use.
What height is the plastic spacer?
Techniseal lists a newly optimized 10 mm height.
Do I leave them in the joint?
Follow your installation system. Most systems remove spacers before jointing.
How many will I need?
It depends on tile format and layout, because smaller tiles create more intersections. Count your intersections rather than estimating by square footage.
