Cutting XPS tile backer board is quick, clean, and easy. First, measure and mark your cut line. Using a sharp utility knife and a straightedge, score the board about halfway through its thickness. Snap the board along the scored line over the edge of a work surface, then slice through any remaining foam. For curves or irregular shapes, use a fine-tooth saw or a hot knife. Always work on a protected surface, change blades often, and ensure good ventilation if using hot tools. The result is a precise, dust-free cut perfect for tiling projects.
