This granite is the most popular facing coated surfaces in the bathroom and the kitchen, and the need to trim it there in any case, if the works are carried out with this versatile material.

Despite the relative similarity of the cladding material with ordinary tiles, work with it much more difficult, and only a special tool must be used for cutting.

Meanwhile, to implement at home the necessary conditions for trimming granite floor or wall, everyone can master if he knows the very process technology.

addition very often a need for breaching holes in porcelain stoneware technology for different purposes, which are also carried out by a special technology.

Using Tile

most common tool type, which is not only easy to cut stoneware tiles, but alsosimply work Tile is a mechanical type.

first step is to carry out measurement of the floor or wall, and determine the size of the desired piece.

Next on the most tile is drawn straight line according to measurements carried out, after which it is placed under special knife tool, which provides the necessary cut.

Using Tile

Knife Tile is a small-sized roller on which a layer of diamond dust.

To start cutting granite, it is necessary to press on a special pen and hold the roller and to the line drawn by.

After that there will be only a little effort to put pressure on the tiles, and it is broken down in accordance with the cut line.

It should be noted that in order to obtain a clean cut and quality, tool knife must be sharp and smooth.

Otherwise, it will have to change, for which it will be necessary to unscrew the special mounting bolts.

important point when using the Tile is the maximum precision during the measurements granite.

At the very granite tile line that cut will occur, it is best to draw a with a pencil or marker.

When placing the tiles into the tool, the surface should be set to maximum precision so that the knife went through from beginning to end.

Porcelain must be held firmly to avoid its displacement relative to the tool.On the surface of the tiles must touch the knife with a diamond coating.

Also, the speed of the knife on the target line should be the same.Cut the tile along the line only once.

In no case can not be carried on her re-cut, since it is most likely can lead to poor shear.

If, however, there was a small marriage, then it can be corrected by grinding, and for this you should use the grinder, which must first put the disc is designed to work with the stone.

Cutting using suhoreza

also to home to cut stoneware tiles to the floor or wall, you can use the tool, which is called suhorez.

general suhorez is a cutting wheel, which has a corresponding diamond deposition without special slots.

He put on ordinary grinders and used to cut and polish the granite.

Dry Res tile

In order to get the most desired slice smooth and high-quality, range of motion direction must coincide with the direction of rotation of the tool itself.

This method of cutting the tiles during the repair work in the home is the most popular and simple.

For some practical characteristics, the use of suhoreza, if necessary, to cut granite, superior designed specifically for this purpose Tile mechanical type.

suhoreza use for cutting granite tiles, avoids unnecessary spending on special tool.

When working with suhorezom it is important to cut and to drawn layout with a small margin.

significant drawback when using this universal tool is the fact that the cut in any case will have small chips and cracks, but if on the surface of the floor or wall tiles will cut off part of the hidden, it will not be seen.

much as possible to get rid of such defects can be, if necessary perform a cut in a single pass without repetition.

Also, if necessary, by means of grinders and stone circle at any time to produce grinding cutting all porcelain.

should be noted that using suhoreza can be performed, and various curved sections, attach the tile configuration required.

Using this tool leads to a significant formation of dust, and so the work should be carried out in a special mask.

How to cut granite at home suhorezom conditions shown in the video posted above.

Cutting tiles mokrorezom

In the event that there is a need to get the most accurate and clean cut granite, Tile should get the electric type, which is called mokrorez.

This tool is very easy to use, and the tile cutting process is not as time-consuming and dusty as using mechanical or Tile suhoreza.

This versatile tool is a special table, which is placed on the surface of the cutting element that comes into motion by an electric motor.

This unit can be used for precision cutting of all types of tile, including porcelain tiles.

Under each tile has its own type of knife that simply changes if necessary, and is designed specifically for wet cutting.

learn how to work on Tile electric type, described in detail in the video, which is available below.

Res on Tile electric type is done simply and quickly, and besides, is held in strict accordance with the pre-drawn markings.

To stoneware tiles are not split, it should be a little slow at the beginning and end of the cut when working on mokroreze.

itself tiles should be fixed on the working surface of the tool most tightly so that was not able to move out of a possible vibration unit.

tool of this type when cutting granite practically does not emit dust and makes the process work more quickly and efficiently.

It is worth noting that the cost of an electric tile cutter type is quite high, and with a small amount of work to buy it impractical.

Waterjet cutting

This type of granite cutting is performed only under the order, and this requires the presence of a special professional equipment.

With this method it is possible to obtain the highest quality of the cut, the cutting traces on the tile is not observed, and thus eliminates the need for grinding its ends.

Video:

equipment, which is used in this method, cutting granite, performs cutting by the simultaneous use of water and abrasive particles, which are served on the tile surface at a sufficiently high pressure.

It should be noted that the waterjet allows to cut granite very different configurations and shapes.

Very often there is a need to make ceramic granite in certain technological holes, which is not so simple.

In this case, in order not to damage the surface finishing material, drilling should only be performed on the front side.

To begin to make a small hole, using the minimum diameter drill bit, and gradually increasing it, to achieve the required size.

In any case, to work with granite need to use special tools only.
