MICROPOINT STRUCTURES FOR TILE EDGE SPACING
A micropoint structures for tile edge spacing system and method for use with tiles set with mortar as floors or walls on prepared surfaces, providing spacing tabs having micropoint structures, where the spacing tabs can be used as components of lippage-control units or be used or reused as auxiliary or standalone spacers. Each micropoint structure protrudes from a face of the spacing tab and has a contact area at an extreme point. Each micropoint structure has a corresponding micropoint structure on the opposite face of the spacing tab, and the distance between the contact areas of corresponding micropoint structures controls the spacing of the gap or grout line between the installed tiles. The configuration and placement of the micropoint structures provide proper setting of the gap between tiles at the top edges, avoiding spacing problems caused by irregular tile side surfaces or irregular underlayment, and provide for avoidance of becoming bound or blocked by the set mortar or tiles which could cause difficulty during removal and cause damage to the set tiles. The micropoint structures are provided in several embodiments each having a small contact area at an extreme point and a tapering or decreasing profile away from the contact area.
