Why do tilers want more pay for laying laser-cut tiles?

[Stillo]

The tiler who will lay the tiles has mentioned that it takes longer for him to lay laser-cut tiles compared to non-laser-cut ones. Is this really true? He gave the explanation that as a tiler, one must be more precise, but shouldn't a skilled tiler always be precise?

 

[Immobil]

I think it indicates that he is not as skilled as he should be.

Got the impression that you have to be more careful when it's laser-cut and not entirely uncommon around here for the tilers to charge a little extra for it.

Perhaps it's related to wanting laser-cut tiles to be laid with minimal joints, which is more time-consuming than laying with wide joints.

Maybe it has to do with wanting laser-cut tiles to be laid with minimal grout, and that's more time-consuming than laying with wide grout.

That's how it has been explained to me, being a customer.

That seems reasonable, minimal gaps are visible and noticeable.

 

[Stillo]

Okay, then maybe it is reasonable after all. It sounded odd to me, but oh well...

If all walls were also laser-cut and in modular dimensions, it would probably be faster to install laser-cut tiles.
