QUOTE(skng03 @ May 8 2011, 03:30 PM) only ceramic tiles need to soak with water before installation, homogeneous/ porcelain tiles no need. just curious whats the purpose of soaking it in water ?? susu = modify polymer admixture to mix with cement/ tile adhesive to gain better bond to tiles another thing this "susu" does it have a proper name ?? |

QUOTE(manemaren @ Apr 5 2012, 12:23 AM) I changed my house door and since they changed the frame, a few tiles need to be broken as well... actually if you wan cut a straight line u can just get a tile scorer its like a pen with carbite/diamond tipNow I need to tile it back... I have the tile... I need a Tile Cutter and something to stick the tile to the floor.... Any idea how much a tile cutter cost? And what is it that I need to paste the Tile to the floor? Thanks. its cheaper than actually getting a proper tile cutter since u need to cut a few pieces only... refer to youtube and the proper method to break the tile once you have scored the lines |

QUOTE(vetkin_gray @ Apr 9 2012, 09:32 PM) To paste the tiles, you need cement, sand, tile grout and water. You can paste and cut them yourselves but they will probably look like crap if you have absolutely zero experience. Tiling is not as easy as it seems. In terms of difficulty, it is labeled as 'Advanced'. or u can get those ready mix tile adhesive glue that they are selling now days that comes in a caulking bottle form |
