How To Cut Ceramic Tile

How can I cut pre-installed tiles?


I am installing floating wood floors into an area of my house that is partially covered with ceramic tile. Some tiles intersect the threshold of one room to the next (the next being one I want to leave tiled). Is there a way to cut those tiles at the threshold without having to remove, reinstall, and regrout?
Thanks.

You can cut already installed tiles with a dry saw with a ceramic or masonry blade. Or even a 4" dry cut blade on a grinder or angle grinder. Even a masonry blade on a saws all may work depending on just what and how you have to cut them.. All these ways are a dusty mess so have an extra hand there with a shop vac if possible. Plus wear eye and ear protection, so chips and dust doesn t get in your ears ( yes I m serious and this from personal experience.)
Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there. GL

Faux Modern Ceiling Tiles styrofoam can be glue over any flat surface and over secure POPCORN with seramic tile mastic adhesive, also known as or sometimes referred to as mastic, which is a white acrylic latex adhesive, which will bond ceramic tiles to structurally sound secure dry flat surfaces. Washable Tile! It is excellent for setting ceramic tile over drywall and therefore excellent for applying dabs to the rear of our Ceiling Tiles and applying to your ceiling as described. We also recommend Liquid Nail, especially for application to Wood and Metal surfaces. However be very careful to insure you only use Liquid Nail for Wood & Foam Moldings as other types of Liquid Nail will dissolve and or damage plastics including self-extinguishing uniform extruded polystyrene foam A/K/A Styrofoam. It is highly recommended that you test a small area on one Ceiling Tile to be certain.
