Discuss Hexagon tile cutting in the Canada Tile Advice area at TilersForums.com.

Hi Guys,

I’ve have a job coming up to install lily pad porcelain hexagon tiles.

It’s the first time fixing hexagon tiles, it’s straight forward just one wall 2.3m x 0.9m.

My question is this, when it comes to cutting the tiles is it only really possible with a wet cutter or grinder due to the tile shape?
I’m just thinking for example cutting through the top and bottom points, then snapping on a manual cutter won’t work?

Any help/tips appreciated.

Cheers.

Depends what manual cutter you have, i use a Rubi tx to cut them, no problem.
