          Impossible to cut without falling apart
          These tiles look amazing, until you have to make your cuts. The texted paint used to give them their awesome looks is so brittle. I've tried every type of blade I could find, even using a new blade for each panel, doesn't matter the brittle textured paint will not give you a factory edge look. Super disappointed in the product but unsure what to do now. AVOID.

          Hi there. We are sorry to hear you had issues with cutting the Sahara tile. Due to the material of the tile, it can crumble a little bit while cutting. We recommend using a sharp utility knife and light pressure to cut the tiles to size. armstrongceilings
            These tiles provide great sound reduction. They also look fantastic.

            The tiles are fine. Their exposed face is a generic textured white (see picture) so they match other textured white tiles. They look very similar to the USG Astro tiles that are no longer available. They are compatible with the CeilingMAX grid system. They aren't as easy to cut as some other tiles. The material feels tough to cut through even using a sharp carpet knife. If you cut partway into the tile and then break it along the score you have made, the edge will be rough (see picture). You can smooth it out since the material is soft, and anyway a rough edge doesn't matter in a suspended ceiling since the part near the edge is concealed by the rails that hold the tiles.
