1 8 Vs 1 16 Tile Spacers
If they re consistent a 1 16.

1 8 vs 1 16 tile spacers. For small format tiles that do not have lugs i will usually use 1 16 spacers. Depending upon the texture and consistency of the tiles i may use 1 8 spacers on this is especially true if sanded grout is used in joints narrower than 1 8. 12 x 12 to 16 x 16 tiles typically have between a 1 16 and 1 8 grout line the latter is usually used for flooring. Tiles larger than 16 x 16 can be a bit trickier because you need to measure the tiles for consistency.
Layout a few rows on the floor side by side using different spacer size and see what looks better that is the best way to go. Epoxy grout the top of the line i discovered there are liquid grout stains that are just like penetrating wood stains. Nonsanded grout works best for grout lines less than 1 8 inch wide 1 16 inch is ideal. The larger line allows the sanded type grout a space to get into.
With the flexcolor i would use 1 16th spacers but remember it will give you a larger grout line as the tile itself already has 1 16 built into it. That being said talk to your installer based on the tile he would know what would look better a 1 8 or 3 16 joint for a straighter and more professional looking job. Extremely tight tolerances and usually designed to be installed with 1 16 spacing.
