RTC Plastic Horseshoe Tile Spacers: Perfect Tile Alignment Made Easy

RTC Plastic Horseshoe Tile Spacers (also used as shims) make it easier to set straight, consistent joints on porcelain, marble, granite, and stone—especially on walls and large-format installs. The U-shape slips in fast, lifts corners when needed, and holds its thickness under load for dependable spacing.

Features

  • U-Shape for fast placement: Slides under tile edges to lift corners and fine-tune joint alignment without fighting a bulky spacer.

  • Color-coded thicknesses: Grab the right size instantly—1/16" (Blue), 1/8" (Red), 3/16" (Yellow), 1/4" (Black)—for consistent grout joints and shimming needs.

  • Heavy-duty plastic that resists compression: Helps maintain spacing on heavier wall tile and stone where softer shims can crush and change joint width.

  • Works vertical or horizontal: Useful for wall tile leveling/shimming and floor layout spacing—one spacer style for most installs.

  • Clean removal after set: Pulls out without leaving residue, so your grout joints stay clean and consistent.

  • Secure placement with center opening: 1/2" center bolt space supports stable positioning when you need it.

  • Reusable and easy to sort: Durable plastic and color coding makes cleanup, storage, and re-use simple.

  • Jobsite versatile: Handy around tile transitions, trims, and general shimming for openings and set points (windows/doors/curtain wall situations).

  • Cost-effective: Speeds up spacing decisions and reduces rework caused by uneven joints.

  • High-impact plastic durability: Built to last through repeated installs and tool-bag abuse.

More Details

RTC horseshoe tile spacers are a practical choice when you need clean grout joints and dependable shimming on porcelain, marble, granite, stone, and large-format tile. The U-shaped design makes them easy to slide into place—great for tightening up a layout line, lifting a corner to match a neighboring tile edge, or maintaining consistent spacing while thinset grabs. Because the plastic is built to resist compression, these spacers hold their thickness better under load, which helps avoid joints that “pinch” on heavy wall tile. The color-coded sizes speed up workflow on the job: grab blue 1/16" for tight joints, step up to red 1/8", yellow 3/16", or black 1/4" when you need wider spacing or more shim height. When the setting material firms up, they pull out clean so you’re not scraping residue out of the joint before grout.
