Cutting Tiles

Measure and mark the tile with a marker on the protective film where the cut must be made. If cutting tiles is necessary, using a chop saw is the recommended cutting method. Be sure to follow all safety procedures, including using safety eyewear, when using saw. Alternative cutting methods are a miter box or hack saw for any necessary straight cuts. When cutting is complete, use a fine-grit sandpaper or a small metal file to debur the cut edges. Take the cut tile to the work space and place it in its intended location, ensuring it fits properly before removing the protective film on either side of the tile.

Fitting Partial Tiles

Before peeling the backing paper off self-adhering tile, check that the cut tile fits. Do not force it into place.
