                    Hi, I have obtained these tiles (or very simmilar style) and am wondering how to cut them.  Has anyone had experenence using these? They are the style with grooves already cut, I want to half the size of most of them but cannot, as with a normal tile, score into the glossy coating to create a line to break.
Thanks for any info...

            You need a decent cutter with a larger wheel

 Yes pick different tiles that you can use your existing cutter with. Otherwise its a wetcutter or a larger snapcutter. Simples.I am too moneysaving to buy one of those, is there another way?

 dont confuse Money saving with foolish,

 You could end up breaking so many tiles by using the incorrect tools that it would have been cheaper and easier to buy the wet cutter straight out.
 A wet cutter will give a superior finish, allow more complicated cuts, and cut wastage down.
 If you might ever do more tiling, I would recomend you get a half decent wet cutter (something like)

 as the smaller cheaper ones can struggle with hard natural stone or porcelain tiles0

            No confusion at all, as there is a back up plan with very little cutting. Halfing the tiles though would be mega money saving if I could find an economic way to do it. Seem there is not or at least known here.
 Thanks for the replies0

            get some tile patterned wallpaper if you don't have the correct tools, you only need scissors for thatI'm only here while I wait for Corrie to start.
 You get no BS from me & if I think you are wrong I WILL tell you.0
