Cutting tile can be difficult especially when cutting around an electrical outlet, switch, or other box in a backsplash. Subway tiles are a popular choice for kitchen backsplashes and shower walls. Because they are made of ceramic, they are actually easier to cut than porcelain tile. But unless you know how to cut a U or L shape cut, it can be very tricky and you can mess up or break the cut. This video will show how to cut these irregular or handmade subway tiles. Many DIY and Beginners also struggle with knowing which area of the box to cut up to. I show the proper limit of the box to cut up to, leaving enough room for the screw hole but not so much room that the tabs on the electrical outlet cannot rest properly on the tile.
