Ceramic tile is a universal facing material, widely used in carrying out internal and external works. This material is notable for easy installation, unpretentious care, resistance to temperature extremes and high humidity.
In some situations, after installing ceramic tiles on the surface of floors or walls, it is necessary to cut a fragment of it. Most often, such a need arises for decorative or communication purposes. For example, the dismantling of part of the ceramic tile may be required to install water pipes, electrical outlets, and cable routing.
To carefully cut the tile or make a hole in its surface, use special construction tools. The most common options are:
- Angle grinders or "grinders";
- Hand jigsaws equipped with diamond-coated saws;
- Shtroborez with diamond cutting disks.
It is worth remembering that in many cases these tools are recommended to be used in combination with dust extraction. Such equipment will significantly reduce the level of pollution in the room.
How to make a hole in glued tiles
In some cases, it may be necessary not to cut off the ceramic tile glued to the wall, but to make a neat hole in it. Equipment such as a ceramic drill will help.
When working with this equipment, you must correctly calculate the effort. Indeed, strong pressure can lead to cracks and chips on the glazed surface of the tile.
Before starting work, it is important to correctly calculate the location of the hole, for which it is recommended to use a level, ruler and pencil for marking. If the hole is planned to be made using a punch, it is important to turn off the hammer drilling mode in advance.
Tips for cutting glued tiles
If the material glued to the wall needs to be cut off for further laying of the electric cable, you can choose the method of ditching on the part of the joint between the tiles. With a competent approach and the correct calculation of efforts, the resulting seam can be masked and it will not differ in any way from other tile joints.
If you need to cut large pieces of tile - it may be necessary to install parts pipelines, samples can be decorated using ceramic mosaics or other facing materials. In this case, you can not only carry out all the necessary repairs, but also harmoniously complement the interior of the room.
