I would too ..!! Porcelain isn’t good at elastic / tensile bends so when you cut it then you create stress and it will break. At 40mm slices at that length there is no way of on site cutting that so you would need it to be water jetted. I’d expect about £15 a cut, so you’re probably at £5-600 for cutting but would add 50% for breakages so two tiles, cutting etc would be £15-1800. Redesign it. No redesign. No need.

Mr Punter Posted April 12, 2023 Share Posted April 12, 2023 1 hour ago, hendriQ said: two large format 3200 x 160 x 6mm On your drawings these are 3200 x 1600 x 6, so they are over 5m2 for the 2 tiles. Cut into 35 pieces. So with the cost of the tiles this is about £340 per meter plus fitting. Did you fit them or was that done by others? The ceiling came out very well.

My main contractor fitted them, with supervision from my architect (who designed this crazy scheme). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markharro Posted November 28, 2023 Share Posted November 28, 2023 Looks good @hendriQ how did you do the ceiling? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joesan Posted August 7 Share Posted August 7 This looks brilliant. Very nice job. I'm hoping Hendriq sees this. @hendriQ Can you let us know what company you used in the end? I have a similar project and am having trouble finding a reasonably priced supplier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
