Has anyone heard of a place that sells rolls that are in between 53" and 107" in width?

My place is not big enough for 107" and 53" is too small i need a in between, does it exist????

Buy the 107". Buy a hack saw. Buy painters tape. Measure the length you want. Tape. Hack. Done. or just saw through the box. Done

The saw will work, I've cut up paper rolls to fit them im my garbage bin. It does a pretty good job.

It works fine. I've done it to about a dozen rolls to get things to fit into my living room.

The last time I had to do that, I was grateful to have access to a bandsaw.

Go hit home depot or lowes and have them cut you from the crap roles of tile they have.

Flip it over, mount it with a buddy and paint it, wallah!!!
