cutting palace travertine ceramic tiles

[chriscrash]

hi guys
i,m having trouble cutting palace travertine tiles from b an q i score them then when coming to snapping them they snap fine untill the last 10mm it just takes the corner off the cut i,ve had this problem before with 600 porcelain as you would expect. for the price im on with these tiles i cant afford to send everyone through the wet cutter. ps has anyone used the above mentioned tiles? palace travertine beige? which grout? and wot colour would u use?

only way with trav is to put them through the wet cutter sorry. As for grout I'd say Mapei ultracolour jasmine would be a good choice.

On the B&Q website these tiles are claimed to be Ceramic.
If that is correct it could just be down to your cutting technique or the cutter being used.

Always pays to check Dougie, The name Palace rang a bell with me.

score and snap the tile from behind by hand,what cutter are you using

:welcome: - if they cut on the wet cutter without breaking on the corner then it has to be cost effective to do it that way.

As far as i know they are Travertine effect ceramic, but you shouldnt have any problem cutting them with your tile cutter, but if your scoring n snapping correctly and there still not cutting cleanly, then your just gona have to machine cut them all...nice! any grinder with good disc or wetsaw will do.
