Hi, do you have or have access to a tile wet saw?

Thats what I was thinking to give the best looking finish but was hoping there might be a simpler way!

Whats the best way to achieve a good mitre? I do have a wet tile saw yes.

Perfect, you should be able to tilt the table of the wet saw to do mitres.

Is the two pieces to be mitred cuts or whole listello border tiles?

Could doing this potentially damage the crackle finish on the tile?

Sorry I dont understand your question, there will be multiple outer corners where two border tiles will butt together using a mitre (hopefully!).

No will not damage finish on tile as long as you have a decent diamond blade on wet saw and it is not worn out and make sure there is plenty of water in tank. I would suggest holding the two border tiles together at 90 degree angles so that you can see which way the mitre on each tile will need to be cut then Place in wet saw and line up so that the blade will cut required angle

Thanks very much for your help.

The tile attached below will be tiled in metro style with the border along the top to finish. How would you finish these at the same outer corners?

Thanks

Thanks

Given that you are installing that border on the top I would suggest you mitre them aswell
