Cutting Porcelanosa Oxo Deco Blanco

[Russ]

What's the best method of cutting these tiles?

They are going on a feature wall in the bathroom, I have a cheapo wet cutter but given their length I was looking to borrow/rent/buy a dry cutter (sigma) to help me get nice clean straight cuts. I'm not sure it will work though given the relief pattern though. Any advice?

No dry cutter will give you a nice crisp edge on those.
I'd suggest renting or borrowing a good wet saw.
Something like this: Electric Tile Cutter Rental | Hire Station | Tool Hire - https://www.hirestation.co.uk/tool-hire/Cutting/Tile-Cutter-Hire/210142/

Alternatively, get a very good blade (Marcrist CK805 Akkumax) in a decent grinder and use masking tape to set a clean line.
Go lightly to cut the surface then a few more passes to avoid chipping.

As above, the easiest way to do it

If your main field tiles are a flat tile make sure you fix those first and the feature tile up to them. If you do it the other way round you wail have gaps all over the place, unless you can scribe the tile in!!!

Practice siliconing on offcuts as well prior to the actual finished job. I used masking tape on the pic below as the Fugi finishing tools are no good on this type of tile

Thanks for the advise, the other tiles are marmi china, so the same size in a flat matt.

Same combination I used

I've done loads of Oxo Deco and always dry cut with a Sigma. As John says, just do the Marmi first then the deco. Grout & silicon will sort the rest out.

Absolutely. The Sigma will cut these clean with the correct technique
