How to Cut Tiles

Cutting ULTRAGRID™ interlocking floor tiles to fit your unique space can seem daunting, but with the right tools and techniques, it's a straightforward process.

This guide will walk you through each step to ensure you get that perfect fit.

🚀 Getting Started: What You'll Need

• Fine-toothed Jigsaw: Ideal for precise, clean cuts.
• Measuring Tape: For accurate measurements.
• Marker: To mark your cutting line.
• Safety Gear: Goggles and gloves for protection.

📐 Step 1: Measure and Mark

1. Measure the Space: Before cutting, measure the space where the tile will be placed. This ensures the tile fits perfectly.
2. Mark the Tile: Use your marker to draw a line on the tile where you need to cut. Be as precise as possible.

✂️ Step 2: Prepare to Cut

• Secure Your Tile: Make sure the tile is securely placed on a stable surface. It shouldn't move while you're cutting.
• Safety First: Don't forget to wear your safety gear – goggles and gloves are essential.

🧩 Step 3: Cutting with the Jigsaw

• Blade Selection: Ensure your jigsaw has a fine-toothed blade. This is crucial for a clean cut.
• Start Cutting: Begin cutting along the marked line with your jigsaw. Take it slow to maintain control and precision.
• Keep It Steady: Apply steady pressure as you guide the jigsaw through the tile. Avoid rushing to prevent jagged edges.

🎯 Tips for a Perfect Cut

• Measure Twice, Cut Once: Double-check your measurements before cutting to avoid any mistakes.
• Smooth Edges: After cutting, if there are any rough edges, lightly sand them down for a smooth finish.
• Clean as You Go: Wipe away any debris or markings from the tile for a neat appearance.

🏁 Final Step: Fitting Your Tile

Once you've cut the tile, place it in the intended space. It should fit seamlessly with the rest of your tiles, creating a uniform and tidy look.
