How to Cut Corrugated Fiberglass Tiles

In addition to serving to cover an area, even though they are light, the corrugated fiberglass tiles still allow diffused light to penetrate the area. Their undulation increases your stamina. To cut this type of tile it is necessary to use tools that are quick to make the cut, so that it does not crack or break into pieces. Both hand and power saws, used to cut wood, are also good for fiberglass shingles if you have the right type of saw and you apply proper pressure to the tool.

Step 1
Place one of the tile sheets on the service bench.

Step 2
Stretch the measuring tape from one end of the tile to the part where you want to cut and mark with a pencil. Make enough reference lines to then draw a line over the part.

Step 3
Hold the tile in one hand, not exerting too much pressure, but just enough to hold it in place while cutting.

Step 4
Place the machine saw at the beginning of the line drawn in pencil on the tile. Then turn on the saw and force it forward very slowly, at a steady pace, towards the other end of the piece to start cutting it. Allow the tile to vibrate a little while cutting to avoid cracking.

Step 5
Push the saw in faster as you reach the end of the cut line and then place the sawn piece somewhere.

Step 6
Run the stylus blade through the cut end of the tile to remove fiberglass burrs.
