Mosaic Tiles

[Unregistered]

My DH has just started tiling our kitchen splashbacks with some lovely tumbled mosaic tiles...and he has tiled before, so he knows what he's doing, but where there is a gap of half a tile or so, how do we fill / cut the tiles to fit?

Is it possible to cut mosaic tiles?

Please help soon or I may be filing for divorce tomorrow...

Don't file for a divorce just yet. Simply get yourself a pair of tile nippers (top one here is fine: [DLMURL="http://www.tradetiler.com/acatalog/tile_nippers.html"]TradeTiler.Ltd Nippers[/DLMURL]) and then mark and 'snip' the tiles. Sure, it's not a fast job but yes, it can be done.

P.S. does DH stand for divorced husband?

No, divorce is off, lol, DH bought himslef an angle grinder as he felt the nippers wouldn;t work, and is doing a lovely job.

Thanks for your help!

Use your wet cutter with plenty of water running through it. Thats a good one too. Either way, give them a good scoring first.

Good luck
