Despite the fact that ceramic tile is a strong and reliable material, its surface is covered with brittle enamel. This contributes to the fact that if drilling does not occur correctly, then cracks may appear. In order to avoid this, you need to know the most common errors:
- Selection of the wrong tool. In order to drill a tile, it is not necessary to have a special tool, an ordinary drill is suitable. It is important to consider that the drill must be selected correctly. Using the wrong drill often causes chips and cracks. It is strictly forbidden to use drills designed for wood, glass or metal, as they create uneven pressure due to their insufficient sharpness. Drills should be designed for drilling, they must be worked extremely carefully;
- Exerting strong pressure on the surface. It is forbidden to press hard on the drill, as this can violate the integrity of the tile. The pressure on the drill must be such that it remains stationary;
- Wrong angle. The drill must only be at a right angle. If the angle is not chosen correctly, then this can provoke not only a split in the ceramic tile, but also injuries, as the drill can easily come off.
Often there is a need to drill a hole for the dowel. There is a certain algorithm for this:
- First of all, attach a mounting tape or patch to the desired surface, this will help to avoid slipping.
- Mark the point where the center of the hole will be. The point is best marked on a patch using a regular marker.
- Choose a drill suitable for this manipulation. Insert the drill into the drill, then immediately begin the main work.
- Set the device to minimum speed, put the drill in a perpendicular direction. After the tile is passed, it is necessary to replace the drill with another one.
- To clear a hole of dirt and dust, to eliminate the remained pieces from a brick, then to insert the expansion bolt shield.
With careful observance of all the rules, drilling holes in ceramic tiles will not cause problems, even a completely unprepared person can cope with this task.
