Discuss Splitface external corners in the America Tile Forum / Advice Board area at TilersForums.com.

Hello, I’ve got a job with 300x160 split face slate, thickness ranges from 15mm to 25mm on the tile. Any advice on how to attack the external corners?
I was thinking of purchasing a wet cutter for a mitre but having played around on a small cutter I’m still not satisfied that it’s going to look brilliant because of the colossal difference in thicknesses.
Any advice?
Many thanks

if I was fitting them id be making sure I was finishing on external corner with a decent size cut then as you say mitre them but make sure you cut them straight and with a wet cutter
you will end up with both sides looking right as there from the same tile
also, leave enough overhang for the wall to run out if it does
