Spacer Mosaic

Are you supposed to use a spacer between each individual tile when tiling mosaic tile?

It’s wall tile. And they’re stone tiles(each one is 1inch X 2inch) on a 12 inch X 12 inch mat.
Or can each mat be grouted before applying to wall?
Any hints?
Thanks

You will likely need spacers doing a wall. You dont need spacers between the individual stones attached to a backing.

Buy the small plastic X shaped tile spacers of the correct spacing. You can stick just a point of them into the space, making them easier to pull out when the mortar sets.

No, you dont grout it before putting it up. Use a spacer that gives you the same spacing as the tiles on their backing have.

Once the mortar or mastic you are using to set the tile has set, remove your spacers.

You probably need more advice on tiling than just this. Go to your tile supplier, that is, if they really know tiling.

good luck,
