HELPFUL HINTS
|
Cutting Curves |
|
 |
To fit up against a curved surface e.g. edge of washbasin, make a cardboard template of the curve, transfer it to the tile surface and cut along the curve.
|
Cutting A Hole |
|
 |
For a pipe to come through, measure the position which the hole will occupy on the tile surface, mark straight line vertically down the tile passing through the centre of the hole to be cut.
Score down this line and snap the tiles into two. Using a template, score a semicircle into the 2 cut edges of the tile which when placed together form a hole.
|
Tiling A Window Recess |
|
 |
To cut an 'L' shape, cut a line from the edge to the centre, then score at right angles to this. Lay tiles on the window sill, placing the cut tiles closest to the window.
Line up the tiles on the side walls with those on the main wall.
|
Fixing Accessory Tiles |
|
 |
Leave space in the run of tiles where accessory tile will fit and scrape out the adhesive left exposed. With surrounding tiles set in place, spread adhesive on the back of accessory and push it firmly into the space.
|
Drilling Through A Tile |
|
 |
Cover the area to be drilled with masking tape, mark the position of the hole on it and drill with sharp masonry-bit using lowest possible speed setting.
