Problems dry cutting Grespania tiles

[Time's Ran Out]

Did you try cutting them on the back!

I have found if you double score with a sigma on grespania's (Icaria's 600x600), it usually works, or lightly score instead of pressing hard on other tiles sometimes works. (against instincts, but it worked for me) no exact science I guess!

Thats the one's ....Icaria,but mine WERE 600x300s.......tried the lightly scoring,double scoring,treble scoring....some snapped with hardly a touch and some you could absolutely hammer and nowt would happen,some sheared off at 45 degrees halfway down the tile or some sheared off on the last 20mm.

All tiles have different characteristics. Initially getting a feel for how you treat them and how they behave is an important part of the job at hand. This is the 'experience' side of the trade that can't be learnt any other way other than experience.
