How to Cut Tile Around a Toilet?

/in /by

If DIY tasks like replacing a toilet and installing a tile floor are within your skill set, then you can also handle tiling around a toilet. Cutting tiles to fit neatly around the base of an installed toilet requires careful template-making and tile-nipping, however, so patience and precision are critical.


In most cases, you’ll have more room for error if you remove the toilet, trace and cut one or multiple tiles to fit around the toilet flange, and then reinstall or replace the old toilet. For instance, imagine that you have a toilet with an angular base that will necessitate cutting a triangular section away from one of the corners of one of your tiles.


You’d cut the parallel slits into that same area of the corresponding sheet of paper, with a little extra “wiggle room” added to your cuts. Lay each sheet into place and crease the slits along the toilet base. One at a time, lay the sheets of paper down where their corresponding tiles will go, remembering to account for spacing between tiles due to grout lines. The slits will fan up and over the installed toilet’s base.


Use your finger to press a crease into each slit—one at a time—where the subfloor meets the toilet base. When you’re done, you’ll have created an accurate template for that tile. Then you can move onto the next sheet of paper. To account for future grout lines, utilize the same plastic spacers that you use when permanently setting the tiles in place.


Cut the slits along the traced lines and dry-fit the sheets. Once you’ve creased all the sheets of paper, take your scissors and cut carefully along the crease lines. Then, lay all these cut sheets of paper down around the toilet (again, accounting for grout lines) and make sure they fit snugly against the toilet base.

Choose with tile, you just need and I am just professional

The selection of tiles is not enough for the laymen, but BARANA is well known in that. Why not give these professional matters to professional BARANA? You only choose to believe in the choice of BARANA, the rest of the hand to us to do, you do not have to worry about, we just reflect the value of our own, why do you not do it?

The appearance of marble tiles include color, pattern, gloss and so on. The quality of the tiles is generally uniform and the design is exquisite and lifelike. There is no obvious broken line, dislocation, etc. When purchasing tiles, we can extract several pieces of inspection from the same package, and compare the defects such as chromatic aberration, distortion and lack of edges and corners.

Using hard objects to lightly attack marble tiles design, the clearer the sound, the higher the degree of porcelain, the better of the tile quality. You can also clip the tiles price on the left thumb, forefinger and middle finger to ease down. Lightly hit the lower part of the tiles with the right index finger. If the voice is clear and pleasant, the quality of the tile design will be better. If the voice is dull and muddy, the quality of tiles is rather poor.

When purchasing cheap marble tiles, you can use a small knife or hard object to gently scrape the bricks to test the hardness and wear resistance. If there are obvious scratches on the tiles surface, the wear resistance is not high. If there is no obvious scratch and smooth as new, it shows that the wear resistance is very good. There is no scratches will be found in future use. Measure the side length, four corners and diagonal of ceramic tile, as well as the smoothness of tiles. The difference between the measured data of four corners of tile should be controlled within 0.5mm. If it exceeds, there will be cracks or uneven phenomena in the process.

The evenness of tile flooring can also be combined with two tiles. Set them up to see if there are gaps between the two tiles sizes. There are obvious gaps, indicating that the evenness of ceramic floor is not very good. In use, you will encounter the phenomenon of kick and bow back. The higher the accuracy of tiles side length, the better the effect after laying. The purchase of high quality tiles is not only easy to construct, but also saves labor hours and accessories.

Water absorb-ability and skidding are also the main points. On the back of the ceramic tile colors, drop the right amount of water to see the speed of water absorption after the water disperses. In general, slow water absorption indicates that the greater the density of tiles, the better quality of tiles. Floor tiles should not absorb water, if the floor tiles absorb water, and can see water stains from the front, indicating poor quality. Wall tiles have a certain water absorption rate, which is difficult to measure with this method. But now the wall tile and floor tiles are all matched, the flooring tile are qualified, and there is no big problem with the marble wall tiles.

 

Skidproof, which is a very important factor in tiles. The surface of the cheap ceramic floor tiles should be cleaned before the test. Because some of the protective wax on the surface of the tiles will affect the accuracy of self-test. Because when tile is in water, it is the easiest to fall. So water is measured on the floor tiles design and must be measured in person. Some tiles will be more slippery if they have water, so they can be considered.
