Hi guys, previous post will tell you I’m new here and learning as much about tiling as I can.
I have a job coming up where 2 bathroom floors to do in natural stone, modular pattern. The tiles are “savanna sand” from Topps. Builder is supplying all materials & sealer.
Do I treat these like any other tile in terms of cutting & fixing (I have a grinder & a rubi ts66 max) and then just seal them prior to and after grouting? Or because it’s natural stone are there other precautions I need to take. Also modular pattern, floor is only about 4m2 square is there and rule of thum in setting out or just however I think looks good. All advice welcome, I want to learn learn LEARN. Many thanks

Will my rubi snap cutter be fine on them? Or make all cuts with the grinder?

What’s the substrate?
Sometimes the pattern gets supplied with the tiles.

Rubi will be no use with stone! Diamond tools only!
