We went to HD this morning and looked and looked could not find the 9 sheets that another HD said they had. Finally an associate found where they were as they were not with the other tiles... I bought way too many because I forgot to measure before I went there so I will be returning a lot of sheets....This HD had lots of styles to chose from. My question for those that have installed them is can they be cut with a paper cutter? at least the long straight cuts? at 10 dollars a sheet I do not want to be making a mess with the cutting. Also in the corners there is a corner piece and was wondering if I have to remove that prior to installing the tiles?

Evening Bob!

Glad to see you are going to do this project! I don't think you will be disappointed. "Measure twice,cut once." I think I heard my mother say that. And the guy from "This Old House". For accurate cuts, you can use a strong pair of scissors or a utility knife. Maybe a rolling cutting wheel, if its really sharp and IF you are using a straight edge and cutting on a board! Safety first! When I did this, I was measuring and cutting right there in the RV. The corner piece is up to you. I did not have to contend with one, however, if I did, I would likely remove it, to obtain a more seamless look. The Smart Tiles are flexible. But I wouldn't try to bend it around a corner. Just measure and cut each wall and you should be fine. If you apply the tiles and see that it isn't fitting right, you can gently remove it and try re-positioning them.

Another design tip: Look at the wall you are going to apply the tiles on...where does your eye fall first? Behind the stove? In the corner? Wherever that is for your project, then that is the corner you should start in. For me, it happened to be left to right. Seriously though, HAVE FUN!! Just let us know what color you got and post some pictures of your mod!
