cut tiles

[peterhouse]

hi guys halfway through tiling small room,10tiles across 8 down ,with 100mill gap eiter side.Do i put in 100mcut tiles in before full one or leave it till i done all tiles then fill in the edges, and does the cut side go facing
the wall or the tiles. hope this makes sense thx

Cuts before or after, doesnt really make any difference. I do it as i go but what ever you feel better with. Cut edge into skirtng or wall.

always put factory edges against factory edges, and you can put the cuts in last!

hope this helps!

Grandad! Put all the full tiles up first then the cuts to the sides - with the cut edges to the wall.
The cut edge of a tile is normally thicker and rougher than the finished edge so if you put uneven thicknesses together it does stand out!

cuts always last...walls could be running slightly out.

grandad next month lol, thx tho for advice tho

got to agree! cuts go in last,ie-100mm cut may lead to a 120mm cut at the back of the room but you will barely notice over the length of a room

would maybe try to have the cuts slightly bigger if possible

david thxfor your reply you saidcuts may be different sizes ie 100mm 120mm .ive been jugling the tilesaround to try get cuts same lenghth without sucsses so it is acceptable to have different size cuts? if so it would make life easier lol also been trying to get cuts samesize on otherside come close but not exact does same apply here? i dont do a lot of tiling as you may of guessed thx

for your cuts to be the same size then the room has to be perfectly square,and as most people will tell you this is just slightly more common than flying pigs!
