Good evening fellow tilers.........

Has anybody out there ever laid 1200 x 1200mm porcelain?
If so, have you used a snap cutter that can handle them?
They're from tilestoyou.co.uk
I blame Grand Designs!!
Any advice would be magic.
 
1200 x 1200 porcelain are not so uncommon.
If they're 10-11mm thick, most any decent slide cutter will handle them easily.
I was fitting 1800 x 800 x 10mm porcelain couple weeks ago, and my sigma handled them with ease, only on the cross cuts obviously.

Thanks for the reply 3_fall
I'll see if Sigma do a 1200mm slide cutter.
1800 x 800mm is big!!!
 
What did you charge per metre to install that, do you mind me asking?
Unfortunately we can't discuss prices in public forums.
Because of regional differences it can cause problems for fixers when say a client from London wants to know why he can't pay the same as a client in a less affluent area.
So that topic is barred.
However, once you've achieved 50 posts or more and can prove your profession is that of a full time fixer, you can enter the professional area of the forum, where you can discuss anything you like.
For me personally, I never charge a metre rate as such.
I estimate the time on the job and price by what I want to earn for a day.
The majority of my work would not be suited to a meterage price.

You can see those 1800 x 800 x 10mm here
if you wish.
 
I did a 1200x1200mm porcelain job a bit ago. Easy when there are 2 people but when your 'mate' goes walkabout and you've only got a Zimmer frame for help it becomes hard work - yes you know who you are...

Got to admit I think my limit for working on my own with normal thickness tiles to drop in on the floor is 1200 x600 or 1000x 1000
