    Default topps tiles metalic 600mm 400mm

    hi just tiled a bathroom using these tiles and found them very difficult to cut , every tile chipped at the ends when cutting, even went and bought a new cutter £300 quids worth as i doubted my cutter, but as i returned with a new one it still chipped them
    just wondered if anyone else has used them and there views on them
    thanks

    It's probably the cutting blade that would make a diiference.

    Hi
    I was doing 30sm the other week of the above tiles and. Had the same problem worked fine after changing the cutting wheel 2 times but the cost of the blades makes a difference imo

    Must admit hey look v good when finished and cleaned off . However unlike my job I did with Chrome trim the customer decided she didn't like the Chrome so all had to come off and replaced with plastic trim ?
    And even argued that she wouldn't pay for the trim that had been wasted .
    Madness
