Question 1

How can I make my ceramic cutting easier and get an aesthetic result?

Accepted Answer

Cut ceramics are placed where they are least visible, against a wall and not on the doorstep. Use a template of the size of your ceramics to take the cutting dimensions of the tiles, placed at the future location of the tile. For the cut of the last tile along the wall: overlap it on the second to last tile already on the floor, butt it against the wall and then, by a line, trace the cut on the ceramic, do not forget the joint thickness. You can also use a tungsten carbide bit to drill the ceramic (a piece of tape in between can prevent chipping the tile) and thus 'impose' a non-straight cut, rounded for example. Then file the irregular edges. For a circular hole, the use of a diamond hole saw gives very good results, cool the ceramic well during the cut with water.
