What is the best way to trim these tiles to get a clean edge?

use BlockTile R0US5112 Interlocking Ramp Edges Without Loop, and BlockTile R1US5112 Interlocking Ramp Edges with Loop. And all the edges will be clean and nice. There is no need to trim anything.

To make intricate cuts, use a jigsaw with a fine-tooth plastic cutting blade.

We installed 500mm(~19 3/4 inch) tile, and as long as scoring pressure was constant, the cuts were very clean. Diagonal cuts will likely depend on the angle. The only cuts I found troublesome were ones where I was trying to trim less than an inch.

I have a roto-zip cutter I use. Usually I try to pattern receptacle cut outs and the like to be at the edges of the tiles.

Its best to carefully cut them out. Or make a dark background because the wntire paper would be transfered and a white square will appear on it. So cut the white out.

it's easy the tile cutter has little pads on either side of the score mark and you just press down on the handle gently. I had never ever cut one before and did the tiny mosaic tiles from my kitchen backsplash with no problems

The pieces are made of hard plastic. So I don't think you can trim it at all, unless you have a special tool.

Minimum width...well, I've trimmed some pretty narrow strips off of 4" ceramic tile. I've trimmed some to 3 1/2" wide (1/2" of waste). When I get that close I've used nippers to break off the waste end because I can't really get a "bite" on a strip that narrow. A 1 1/2" strip, though, piece of cake! By the way, be sure to get a stone to finish your cut ends and to 'break' the edges. Cut tiles can be sharp!

I used a small hacksaw to cut the strips. also use a small metal file to take off the sharp edge. the strip is easy to drill if you need to add more holes. should be a piece of cake, easy install great product.

I used the trim piece called Sandstone window trim in the Buff color. There is also another trim for inside corners and outside corners that you can use. If go to their website you can see what your options are

You could use a butter knife, but the resulting jagged edges would ruin the aesthetic you are trying to achieve by using a designer product such as this.

After cutting, use a torch to flame polish the edges. This is a must to do the job you specify. Watch this youtube video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mmd56UMHDK0

They can be easily cut (unfortunately I know this answer because of my husband's 'need' to experiment with things). When cutting, I would recommend cutting the straight edges so that the other sides may still interlock with the other tiles.

I have used this cut-off tool/grinder to cut tile. You will need to buy a tile blade. It's not the best for making long straight cut but it gets the job done. I found it to be most useful for making irregular cuts.

Hi Amanda, I have been using Edge Gel. It cleans up easy and works very well. Hope this helps... :)

you can just cut them with a pair of nail scissors! its a lot easier than it may seem, and still looks somewhat natural!

Yes, to a razor fine edge. Use a quality knife steel like one from Chicago Cutlery, etc. A ceramic rad works too.

This is clear "sticky paper" so when you cut it in half and peel the backing away, you will place your object on the sticky surface. Then you will peel the backing away on the second (half) piece and place that right on top (sticky side down) of the first piece with the object now sandwiched between the two laminating layers. Press the entire surface firmly and then trim the excess to about 1/8" of the object's edge. God bless your project.
