These are the beasts I'm on with

Is that a broken one I see

Is that a broken one I see

It certainly is. 6 came broken! Only about 17m2 down the drain

Well you need to make sure you get that install right.
The experience that both Marc and Ray have shared with me today I think is invaluable, their time and effort in trial and error in exploring what is the most effective fitting method and with which type of adhesive at what consistency, with tiles this size and the fact that they freely share that is to be applauded and to be ignored at your peril.
I don't often get to fit formats of this size therefore my experience with these sizes is limited and God knows how many metres I'd have fitted before I'd arrived at their conclusions.
So for me it's an easy one thanks to them, 10mm Ragni all the way!

Totally agree with you mate.

How do you get on with those times when you come to some door ways, I'm sure you must encounter an impossible cut sometimes ?

No!
Mitre along complete left side of tile too.


Mitred along left side and mitred on all 3 internal edges of cut out.

 

[Flintstone]

There not as big as them bad boys posted above! The last one you posted looks a bit delicate, I bet youd shed a tear if that snapped when you were fitting it in place

 

[Old Mod]

No they're not as big and I'm sorry they don't live up to your expectations
But that's the best images I have to date of delicate cuts!
I will try harder next time.

What are you using to cut them & lift them?

 

[Old Mod]

What are you using to cut them & lift them?

Those in particular were cut with a grinder Steff.
The only thing I use to carry them other than my pandies is a double suction cup. I do want some single handed vacuum suckers tho.

serrate one way with the ribs top to bottom to break the ribs you want to move the tile left to right .next you need to
flat scim the back of the tile 1mm will do. this will stop the adhesive grabbing the tile and will help roll over the adhesive ribs so the tile floats into position .

so the same as for all other medium-large format tiles.

 

[Rizzle from the Portizzle]

so the same as for all other medium-large format tiles.

a lot will depend on weather the tile is flat or not if its got a 2/3/4/ mm bow you will have to double serrate to
deal with the bow depending how big will decided what mm trowel you serrate the tile with .
