But if you’re a fan of doing it yourself, here is how to do it. The first thing you need to do is to make sure that there are no children or pets in your house. Open the door and windows to have good ventilation. Transfer all the things that are in that area. And cover those furniture that you can’t transfer so that it won’t be covered with the crystalline silica dust from the tiles. Use a pencil to mark the part that you need to cut, and use tape to avoid chipping edges.

Before you start, you should wear proper protective gear to avoid any unwanted accidents. Prepare some water to sprinkle the dusty area and a vacuum. And if it is necessary, you should put a fan that’s facing the window or door. Because this type of dust is one of the silent killers.

An angle grinder is a tool used to cut a tile. And a Dremel tool or a tile file is to make the rough spot smooth. But before you start cutting and being dusty, have yourself a helper to help you with some other task to finish it the way you want it. Or better yet just call your nearest tile installer to have it professionally done.
