Spanish term or phrase: nervios de separación
Hi, I'd appreciate some help with this term.

It is about removing raised floor tiles.

"Nunca se deben quitar los nervios de separación, salvo en casos especiales y en dicho casos se harán de 1 en 1."

Thanks :)

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks! This is a raised floor as in a "falso suelo" for passing through cables and whatnot. I suspect it is the rubber strip between tiles and not spacers for subsequent grouting. Any other suggestion?
