Scribing floor tiles
Recently tiled a floor using 330 x 330mm tiles. When it came to the border
tiles I used the standard scribing technique e.g. the tile to be cut was laid over the adjacent whole tile & marked using another whole tile. This method works a treat & I've used it for tiles, laminate floor, deck boards etc. One wall was at an angle of maybe 35 - 40 degrees to the whole tiles & when I scribed the first tile it was around 20mm too small. Next one I just marked & compared by measuring the distances & sure enough it would have been 20mm out. Can't get my brain around this. How can it work on 'square' walls ( which are always at a slight angle) but be so far out on an angled wall? Is it the extreme angle? -- Dave - The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |
