Cutting mosaic type tile

Post by jg »

Morning chaps,

I'm due to start tiling the top half of my bathroom soon. I've bought some mosaic type tiles from B&Q, and was just wondering about the best way to cut them.

These are not the ones where they are stuck on a sheet of webbing, these are full tiles with grooves cut into the face of them to give them a mosaic effect.

Can I cut these with a normal score and snap type cutter? Will it break across the grooves cleanly? Or should I be looking at one of those electric wheel type cutters?

Thanks guys.
J
