Hello. I’m about to do a patio around a pool outside. I’ve been looking at manual scribe and break cutters for my 20mm porcelain pavers. Has anyone successfully done this in a long 48” 20mm thick tile? I’ve been looking at the Rubi TX max 1250, Sigma 3M series push 49”, masterpiuma P3 and RTC...
Hi everyone,
Hope to get some help and advice please.
I have laid down 8mm of self levelling compound on a concrete floor after priming it so it was a good level to work off (I also included an 8mm expansion joint around the perimeter) (Conservatory is 15 years old and area of 14 m2).
I then...

Hi All.
I'm just looking for a little bit of help please. I am laying a 25 sqm 800x400 patio in the coming weeks. I am going to hopefully do all my straight cuts with an angle grinder and a straight edge. I have both a 41/2" and 9" grinder and was wondering in your experience which size disc...
Hi, new to forum but tiled a few DIY jobs for friends and family over the years.
Can anyone recommend a cutter - either wet or dry that will give me a clean cut on 20mm porcelain slabs?
I was initially thinking of going with a Rubi Evo 650 with a decent blade or the Vitrex bridge saw both...

As the title suggests I'm hoping to get some good advice from you folks about tile adhesive for tiling 20mm porcelain tiles in a garden.
The base hasn't been prepared yet but I imagine it will be 75mm concrete to an area of 8M x 4M. Forgive my ignorance but I haven't done this before so i'm...
I am using a Marcrist CK850 blade on a Rubi TC-180 wet cutter and cutting 1 meter Porcelain tiles that are 20mm thick and seem pretty tough.
It takes me about 20 minutes to make a 1 meter cut using light pressure on the saw. Also, Ithe blade generates a lot of sparks.
Just looking to get...

I need some advice on which adhesive to use and the thickness of adhesive bed required. I want to lay 400 x 600 20mm porcelain tiles onto some concrete steps I have made outside. I read somewhere that a 20mm bed is required but that sound excessive. I have 30 of these tiles to lay. Thanks in advance

Hello All,
I'm seriously considering using the above system, do any tilers on here have any experience, good or bad, they would like to share please?
One concern I have is if there would be a noticeable hollow sound but unsure if this would travel through 20mm porcelain tiles and I'm only...
Hello All,
After a few months respite I'm back. Some of you may recall my pre-Christmas dilemma with laying 30+sqm porcelain on what I thought was a unlevel slab. Well I heeded everyone's advice and got a professional tiler in who did a superb job and it turned out the floor was only 5mm lower...
I've been to look at a screed part of which is 20mm higher than the rest . Easy option screed up , but that's going to take £700 of levelling .
So options I see .
Grind it , score/cut into sections with disc cutter and kango or take that piece of screed right out .
Any bright ideas and options...
20mm external porcelain is a huge opportunity for tilers and at TileFix we are trying to make life simpler for tilers. Leaving exposed edge 20mm porcelain can be very unsightly. Grinding a profile can look great.. on through colour, but not so good on glazed. The new 20mm PorcelQuick 316...
