cut

Afternoon all, We have just taken delivery of 23sqm of Soho Grey Polished Mable tiles, that measure 450x450. However apon reflection we are considering cutting each tile in half to create oblong tiles that measure 225x450. As I only own a cheap wet cut saw, even if were to buy a top quality...

We had a conservatory floor tiled by our builders about 3 years ago. I noticed some tiles sounded hollow within a year but these were at the edges, so left. Not sure how the problem progressed but ended up checking thorougly and now have about 20% of floor tiles lifted with about 3/4 of these...

Hello all, Just wondering if it's ok to cut off all the door frame/architrave etc from the bottom of a door and slide a tile under rather than doing a very tricky and time consuming cut? I'm using large tiles and going from one room into another. Is the frame bearing much weight? Many...

sorry folks, sold.

Hia, Just wondered if anyone has any advice about laying laser cut mosaic floor tiles? I've worked with glass and ceramic mosaic with a meshed backing before but from looking on the internet they look like they come with a template. Any tips would be much appreciated Cheers Jeff

Hello folks. Can anyone tell me the easiest way to cut a circle hole in the middle of a tile for my shower pipes??? I've been trying to drill then chip away but always end up cracking the tile. :mad2: My mate said that there is a cutting attachment that you can buy but it's awful...

Hi all, When I have wet or dry cut some of my tiles, I've tended to bevel off the sharp edge with a grinder usually around doorways where there is a slight difference in levels between one area and another, thought it looked better and safer on the toes Is this good practise ?

Hiya, We bought a wet cutter because we are using really large thick tiles in our bathroom. It's perfect for straight lines, however the instructions that it comes with does not make it clear how to cut curves. It just says to lift the wet guard and use the top of the saw to cut the corner...

I thought it would be a good point of reference to create a register of all the known types/makes of porcelain that will not cut well on manual tile cutters (veers off score line). You end up having to wet cut the lot, causing loss of earnings due the the increased time it takes. I will start...

Could anyone offer guidance to a capable DIYer on cutting granite tiles please? I COULD use my B&D 4in Angle grinder with a diamond disc but I really want something to produce absolutely straight cuts to make upstands for the skirting. A bit less dust would be welcome, too! Table wet saws...

Hi, I have a job coming up which is a Terracotta floor and I need to know the best way to do the cuts, never having worked with Terracotta before. I was advised by one person that I should either use a wet cutter but without water or use a hand saw because the use of water would cause staining...
