Cutting subway tiles can be a bit tricky, but with the right tools and techniques, you can achieve a perfect fit. Here are the steps to follow:

1. Measure the area where you need to place the subway tile. Make sure to measure the length, width, and any angles or corners that the tile will need to fit into.

2. Use a tile cutter or wet saw to cut the tile. A tile cutter is best for straight cuts, while a wet saw is better for cutting curves or angles.

3. Mark the tile where you need to make the cut using a pencil or marker. Use a straight edge to make a precise line.

4. Score the tile along the line using the tile cutter. Apply firm, even pressure to the cutter to make a clean cut. If you’re using a wet saw, carefully guide the tile along the blade to make the cut.

5. Once you’ve made the cut, smooth the edges of the tile using a tile file or sandpaper. This will help ensure a perfect fit and prevent any rough edges from catching on things.

6. Test the fit of the tile before installing it. If the tile doesn’t fit perfectly, you may need to make additional cuts or adjustments.

7. Apply tile adhesive to the back of the tile and press it into place. Use spacers to ensure even spacing between tiles.

8. Once the adhesive has dried, remove the spacers and apply grout to the gaps between the tiles.

By following these steps, you should be able to cut subway tiles for a perfect fit. Just remember to take your time, measure carefully, and use the right tools for the job. If you are looking to buy subway tiles, you have come to the right place. Check out our online store.
