Go to a stone shop. If they don't have a supplier, they can actually take slabs and cut them into tiles. In almost 30 years in the trade, I've only seen 2 cm granite tiles one time.

Bill,

You are right, they are uncommon. I am afraid the labor costs of cutting them from a slab, will be prohibitive, although if I went w/ 16" x 16" tiles, fewer cuts.

Thanks!

Let me ask you-- why the 2 cm tiles? Why not just the standard 3/8" (1 cm)? Once set, they're every bit as strong for their purpose!

Bill,

I have 1 cm in the master bath and may end up w/ 1 cm in the guest bath too, but I was wanting to bullnose the outside edge and I believe a bullnosed edge looks better w/ the thicker 2 cm granite. It's not a deal breaker, not being able to obtain 2 cm thick granite tiles, but they would be nice.

G S.

Have you thought about a mitered edge instead? It gives the look of a very thick tile (ie it curves over the edge) and if your grout is similar to the tile, the edge visably disapears at much less than the cost of making them bullnosed, or finding 2cm tiles :)

I don;'t know that I'd use a mitered edge on floor tile. That's an awful thin edge that will most likely at one point or another be walked on, and as a result could end up chipping or wearing away.

Maybe a mitered edge would work, since the granite tile is for a tub/shower surround?

Thanks!
