Instructions / Assembly
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.
Measure and mark the tile with a marker on
the protective film where the cut must be
made.
Cutting Tiles
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.
Fitting Partial Tiles
To fit partial tiles, lay the tile to be cut exactly over the last full tile. Place
another full tile against the wall and mark the cutting line where the tiles
overlap. Cut tile on line. Before peeling the backing paper off self-adhering
tile, check that the cut tile fits. Do not force it into place. Install tile (removing
paper from self-adhering tile), and press tile firmly into position.
Lay out & measure
Measure the area to be covered. Lay out the entire project on a flat surface
before installing the tiles to be sure you have enough tiles and your design is
correct. Using a chalk line, create at least one vertical and one horizontal
reference lines to guide tile placement.
