990mm tiles

[piehead]

I've got about 8m2 of 990mm by 990mm porcelain tiles to fit, any advice on the best way to cut them, can you hire a cutter to cut them, thanks.

Some tile shops have them 'out the back' to lend out, ask about. Or if you are near Kendal Doug might hire his out, got a pic Doug?

Moved to tiling forum....


what substrate are you tiling to..?

[piehead]

plasterboard

[doug boardley]

suppose you could hire my tx1200n
lol just seen your post Russ, am I that predictable lol

[faithhealer]

plasterboard

unskimmed I take it

[piehead]

no, already skimmed and already tiled possibly needs reboarding after removing old tiles any suggestions

[faithhealer]

Just thinking weight issues, reboard but don't skim

[piehead]

12mm plasterboards or hardi backer boards should be sufficient what do you think

[Alpha Omega]

Is that really 990 x 990 ?

How heavy are they,
I saw some about that size abroad but not over here yet, any pics ?

I think I would have to have a trailer on the van for one of those cutters!

Doug - you sure its not a TS40 with a funny lense on the camera???

[piehead]

get some pictures tomorrow, hopefully the lady has got the sizes wrong.

With a 6mm bed and a 10mm tile that would take you up to 32kg which is the max for plasterboard

am I missing somefink here or are we talking about 8 tiles

[whitebeam]

8m2 Terry

[piehead]

exactly

[doug boardley]

at least you'd only have one to weigh to find out weight/m2

[biffa]

i'd strip off board and tiles and replace with 12mm wedi board. carries more weight.
