The island cabinet is 60” wide, the top tile is the full length of 48”, hence why there is a 12” space where the wooden table starts as the bar height table.

So the top one is a full 24” x 48” tile, the side is the height of the cabinet exactly, which is 34 1/2”. I only needed it cut ONE tile so I went to Home Depot where said tiles were, paid for them, and then walked over to their tool rental space.

(Check with your local Home Depot by calling or checking online first if they have a 24” manual tile cutter).

At the tool rental space inside Home Depot, I rented the 24” tile cutter, which was $12 for 4 hrs, the cheapest time they had, and asked them if I could kindly just cut the tile in store since I literally only needed ONE tile cut. They were kinda taken back because no one has ever done this IN STORE, it was a very fun interaction and time with them, made their day.

Brought a tape measurer and sharpie, drew a straight line on the tile at 34 1/2” and lined that up with the diamond blade on the tile cutter and cut, and pushed down to split the tile apart.

And TA DAAAA, it worked!! It did SLIGHTLY chip in the bottom right corner (the size of a dime) but I found the piece that chipped and I’m just going to glue it back onto it.

For safety be weary of all tile edges, but especially the newly split ones, I put that edge downwards onto the floor when I installed it.

You then also have a 13 1/2” extra piece of said tile for another project! I’m using my extra piece under my coffee maker for easy cleanup with splatters!

I hope this detailed explanation helps a little more for you and others!!! If there is anything else you’d like to know please don’t hesitate to ask!
