Use and Care Manual

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.
