    90 degree herringbone grout line issue

    I’m trying to do square (straight) herringbone with a 4x12 tile. I’m not getting the math on how you can do it if you add grout lines to horizontally laid tiles. If I add 1/8 line the width becomes 4 1/8 and 3 tiles horizontally are now 12 1/4. I see examples on the web but no one mentions how...

Now my question is, would it be better to buy a 1250mm montolit slide cutter or would I be best off buying the flash line system for up to large format of 3.4 meters? I just don't know how efficient that would be...

    Thickness of grout line query

    Fired Earth recommend using a 3mm grout thickness on their 200x100mm tiles when fixed onto plaster, to allow for movement. My tiler has gone ahead and used 2mm spacers, he says he always does this for walls. Could i have a problem. British Standards say a minimum of 2mm.

    Visual line seen where tiles butt together

    Hi, I am interested in the Michigan Grey Rustic Brick Effect Tiles (see photo), but notice that if one tile is butted against the next one, there is a visible line seen that is not on the grout lines of the main tile. Any ideas on how I can hide this line to get around the problem? Bob

    How do you wrap tiles onto window sill? Just can’t seem to get the joints to line up perfectly?

The problem is the installer applied a 1/4 inch of line of grout between the liner and the wall. Although the grout is a dark color, it is not as dark as the liner and looks bad. I...

    Vitrex Ulitmate blade walks off line

    I am cutting 16mm porcelaine paving with a Vitrex bridge cutter. I fitted a Vitrex Ultimate blade to replace the standard blade. It cuts better, with less chipping but on a 600mm cut it walks off line by 3mm. The saw runs true and the standard blade cuts true but it chips like a MF. So any...
