20m2 600x600 bnq porcelain quote?

[Martino]

Hi guys just a quicky....I have heard these 600x600 B n Q specials are nasty to cut so just wanted a heads up on the pricing....are they flat or are they a bugger?.....I have read that they chip very easily...its a kitchen floor so there will be alot of cuts..most will be hidden and if i can ill get the skirting off for a better finish.

What if any would you put on top of your normal price for the messing about.,..if any?

I think it depends on the tile , B&Q have sold loads of these 60x60 over the past few yrs and then ones i have installed have been ok, mostly it has been the transit wax but as for chipping or hard to cut, then not what i have seen or used.

 

[Martyn Leeds]

Just the transit wax for me & you will definately get a few slightly bowed.

Explain and show the customer clearly so you can set there expectations.

If they're pre-sealed thats half the battle I think.

Have fun!

Had first experience of these on a job before xmas, 55m2 polished porc, square, flat and true, no need for sealer, very good value for money, but the glaze is very very thin. Do a test for grout staining, just to be on the safe side, good luck.

I laid a 12m kitchen and quote a few was bowed and made my life hell. I used a rubi ts 60 plus and quite a few tiles smashed to bits as it didn't want to break. In the end I was scoring and snapping by hand. I guess different batches may be different.

60+ won't cut them mate, not suitable for porcs.

Should have scored them then tapped them along the back of the tile with your snips as long as the cut was quite large.

that story again

The cutter has done stacks or porcelain floors and never had a problem but the b n q tiles chipped eaey

 

[Stef]

A 60+ will more times than not break out at the feet.
We had a 60 & 60+ & the 60 would always cut porcs better but still not great.

I have gone through several breakers mind lol. The point tends to wear quickly with porcelain. I have been looking at getting the montolit but holding back until I get my tax rebate
