Does anyone have a favourite make of tile? - Tile Advice

[Cranbrook]

Recently been working on a job with Saloni porcelain tiles 900x450s and they are horrible to work with, extremely hard (imo).. granted the two dry cutters I've used have been a bit rubbish (vitrex 1200 and Macalister b&q job), this is my first job over 600mm so I wanted to avoid getting the sigma (even though it looks like I'm now going to have to)...

Do any of you have to a specific manufacturer you advise customers towards?

I can and will fix any make of tile no matter where it comes from or who made it or what it is made of or where it has to be laid or how big or small it is as long as it is not to far from our village.

me too, but before having made a speech with the customer.
I propose alternatives and how the final result could be.

Without getting in to a favourite dry cutter debate, do you think a sigma would breeze through these tiles im working with at the moment?

100% yes.

My Sigmas will cut 11mm Royal Mosa porcelain.
I've never seen a denser, harder porcelain.

I like fitting B&Q tiles and British Ceramic, I also like drinking brake fluid and razorblading my eyelids off...

Whilst I wait for my sigma to be delivered, I've been using the Bosch dust extractor for my Bosch angle grinder with the Marcrist 850 blade and I must say I'm very impressed with both the blade and Bosch dust extractor (even though it didn't fit on my 18v Bosch grinder meaning I had to buy a new one that was compatible)
