Tiling
Countertop
Added November

Q. We've run
into a problem tiling our kitchen
countertop with 12" x 12" floor tiles. The tiles
at this size have no finishing pieces to do the edge
of the countertop with. Can I cut the tiles and use
the smaller cut pieces for the edges?
A: Probably
not the best idea. You could wind up with some pretty
sharp surfaces from the cutting. You said no finish
pieces were available. Have you considered a coordinating
color, not necessarily one that matches? You could look
for Vcap or bullnose tiles in a contrasting color to
accent your countertop color. Another option would be
to finish the edge with a complimentary wood molding.
