Why make cuts of tile angles at 45 degrees?
This solution allows you to make beautiful even corners without unnecessary plastic or metal inserts. The corners can be both vertical and horizontal.

To make a footstand, porcelain tile or ceramic tiles are cut down and put to each other. It was especially in demand by the shutdown of angles at 45 degrees, when the bathroom is designed in the style of minimalism.

Sharped tiles at 45 degrees – this is an expensive procedure. It requires a master of high professionalism and expensive equipment.

The difficulty lies in the fact that porcelain tiles or ceramic tiles during cutting can be easily damaged or spoiled. It is necessary to accurately calculate the gap between the tiles, otherwise the angle will turn out to be uneven. It is especially difficult to work with large -format porcelain tiles: it is stronger than ceramic tiles, so chips may appear during cutting.

What tool is needed to cut off the angles at 45 degrees
For howling tiles, you need an electric tile with water cooling or a grinder with a diamond disk. For grinding the corners, you will need a grinding machine with a diamond circle and a clip of a clip if the tile is cut with a grinder.

Washed tiles under 45 degrees using an electric tile cutter
Electric tiles with water cooling is the best solution for cutting tiles. You can cut the tiles on it with particular accuracy, and in the process of cutting, dust does not appear that interferes with the work.

It is necessary to take the tile and mark it on it at 45 degrees. This can be done using a corner ruler. Next, the cut place is marked with painting tape. This method allows you to always see the line in the process of cutting tiles, not to go behind it. If you just mark it with a pencil, it will not be visible. Then the tile is placed on the tool with the front side up. So the surface of the tile will not be damaged during cutting.
Next, with the help of a tile cutter, all excess is cut off. The main thing in the cutting process does not hurt the glaze layer. The glaze should still remain 0.5–1 mm.

After that, they pass through the corner with a grinding machine for 3 thousand rpm. It is better to use a grinding circle with a granularity of 1,500. They can remove minor defects.

If there is no grinding machine, then you can polish the angle using sandpaper with a grain of 100–180.

After one tile is processed, you should go to the second and repeat the procedure. Next, the tiles are put to each other and check the resulting result. If there is a small gap, then the tiles are again polished until the desired result is achieved.

Washed tiles under 45 degrees using a grinder with a diamond disk
Washed tiles with a grinder – a more complex and long option. In this case, errors may appear in the process of cutting. First, it should be marked with a cut with a pencil and painting tape. Then the tile is fixed in a vice of the glazed surface up.

In order not to appear chips, cut the tiles with a diamond disk at 1-2 thousand rpm. The grinding machine at this moment should be kept at an angle of 45 degrees relative to the tile. You need to remove the excess gradually, thin layers. The glazed surface should remain about 2 mm.

After the angle is formed, it must be polished at 2-3 thousand revolutions. The same manipulation should be repeated with another tile. After that, they are connected to each other and watch the result. If the joints do not converge, the tile is re -polished.

Cons was drunk under 45 degrees
Switching tiles under 45 degrees gives the room minimalistic and neat features, but this solution also has disadvantages in comparison with the corners where metal or plastic profiles are used.

Sales under 45 degrees are unsafe
Those who at least once hit the angle, perfectly represent how much pain such a meeting causes. Therefore, the corners in the bathroom, even polished, are a dangerous element of the interior that you will not protect.

Tilewood cuts at 45 degrees – fragile
Shards under 45 degrees make the angle fragile, and it may break from the blow. Therefore, it is better not to make them in passing places where you can hook corners, for example, furniture.
Tiles of tiles under 45 degrees are expensive, and they are difficult to repair
Washing tiles at 45 degrees increase the repair period and its cost several times. If such an angle is damaged, it is difficult and expensive to repair. At the same time, the repair work is quite dusty.

Conclusion
Sharped tiles under 45 degrees are made in expensive and minimalistic interiors. This is a difficult procedure that needs to be done on expensive equipment. It is best for the cut of tiles that electric tiles with water cooling is suitable. After howl tiles are howled, it must be made smooth with a grinding machine.
