    What brand of Tile Cutter do you use Poll 2017

    Got to say I've had Rubi all my life until tiles got bigger and thicker. I then moved onto Tomocanic but they went bust when I needed a new big cutter. The Siri Pro range is the best I've had. Nicely built all metal construction and almost every part is replaceable. SiriPro 90 Manual Cutter |...

    New Rubi magnet cutter

    Same here except you push a leaver with your thumb to get a better view of the wheel. But I have never tried a Sigma

    New Rubi magnet cutter

    Yes. What I really like is that to scribe you press the lever on the handle and the scribe lowers coming perfectly into view so you can drop it right on your line. No lining up, practicing, lining up again. You then push or pull whichever you prefer, let go of the arm you had pushed to use the...

    Ahh now this is the cutter to have. SiriPro 90 - emctiles - https://www.emctiles.co.uk/product/siripro-90/ I had a tomicanic for about 15 years but it has a rigid square and it went out of 90 degrees. Went into EMC to try out a few. The monti was OK but when I tried this beast I was sold

    Tomecanic Supercut Tile Cutter 60

    I've had one of these for about 15 years, cuts porcelain nicely. I think there about £300 now. Well built and because of that quite heavy. You only need to change the wheel which is about a fiver.

    Advice on travertine floor

    I actually had to do it once, guy from DK heating did the business for me and saved my bacon I can tell you. Gets my goat when there is so much BS written about what is basically not a very difficult job, then someone comes along and spouts more BS (British Standards) at someone with more...

    Sure, agreed, but read my edit to the last post though. The melting quote was theirs not mine.

    Advice on travertine floor

    Crikey that was quick!! That's funny because they told us that the heat generated by the heating mats underneath the Ditra might uncouple the mat from the Ditra, which would lead to hollows in the floor and also might actually MELT the Ditra!! And just say that there was a split in one of the...

    Advice on travertine floor

    No one asked you to act on my advice. I do what I have done for 35 years without a hitch. BTW go to Schluter and DK heating and ask them for the process of laying UFH with Ditra, because it was them that instructed us at Fired Earth to do it that way.

    Advice on travertine floor

    Ditra does indeed stop the need for an expansion joint, and no you lay the UFH on top of the Ditra as you would lose the efectivness of the mats if you laid it under, where do you get the idea that you are trying to uncouple the UFH to the tile?

    Advice on travertine floor

    Ditra stuck down with flexible adhesive straight onto the floor boards (prime floor first), economical and easy to lay. UFH onto the Ditra (I stick mine with spray carpet glue) Fill the whole lot with 2 part laytex SLC. Tile using Flexible adhesive and flexible grout (I think Ditra guide says...
