How Do You Cut A Marble Floor?
Marble floors are luxurious and beautiful, and occasionally a tile or two intrudes into an area where it needs to be cut after the floor is installed. The best option is to remove the tiles and mortar and re-tile using a wet saw cutter to cut the tiles to the right size. But, there are other methods that can be tried. Remove all furniture, rugs and objects from the area. Tape off surrounding walls to waist height. Use a drop cloth to protect the marble floor area that is not being cut. Use a grease pencil to mark a cut line from one wall or mark to the other. Use a straight edge to keep the line straight. Install the diamond blade on your right angle grinder. (You may need tools for this, but they should be included with a rental.) Roll towels into logs and create a perimeter around your cutting area (no more than 3-4 feet long and at least a foot wide so the logs won’t interfere with your grinder.) These log rolls protect the adjacent surfaces and they retain water like a dam. Be sure
