Cutting Tile around a Toilet Flange

In this classic video snippet, professional tilesetter Michael Byrne shows how to lay out curved cuts in bathroom floor tile.

By Michael Byrne

This video may be a bit retro, but the titling techniques shown in it are timeless. Professional tilesetter Michael Byrne has some smart tips to share for marking and cutting the tile to fit perfectly round a round toilet flange. Once he’s snapped line for his tile layout, all Michael needs is a pencil, a scrap of wood, and a compass to quickly and accurately layout his cuts to fit nice and tight around the flange.  Be sure to watch this video before you start your next bathroom tiling project.
