The tile is too thick to cut with a box cutter and I tried using a dremel with a fine blade and that just shredded the thick tile. Even after I notched the tile it was very difficult to break. It might have worked if it was a solid piece but there was too much detail with the small tiles that are part of each piece. I was not able to use it as a backsplash in the area I needed. I would not recommend it if you have a tight space to fit it in.
