I had no idea how ridiculously expensive the T-spacers would be!



Pardon my ignorance but why would you need T shaped spacers? Wouldn't
ordinary X shaped ones do just as well? Used poking in they can be
removed before grouting and used again.

This is the method I mean.

Because the tiles are not square - they are rectangular so the tiles in
a row overlap the ones in the adjacent rows. Much in the same way as
laying bricks in a wall.
