How Do You Cut Glass Wall Tile

Cut any glass wall tiles measuring 2 inches in size or smaller with glass tile nippers.

How do you cut glass wall tile.

These nippers have two wheels that turn as they cut the glass rather than the straight jaws of hard tile. If you just have to cut a few tiles a glass cutter will suffice. The tool you use will depend on what sort of cut you are doing and how many tiles you plan on cutting. Carefully align the marked line with the cutting guide on the bar cutter.

The rationale for cutting glass tiles upside down is that the glass tile blade will cut the coating on the back first. If you need to cut more tiles however a tiling tool or a wet saw might be more convenient. Make multiple passes with the blade if needed to cut through the tile and to the subsurface. If you are on the fence about how to cut glass tile or any tile for that matter simply purchase an inexpensive wet saw the correct blade and choose a pretty tile that you love.

Measure the glass tile and mark the desired cut lines then position the tile on the cutting pad of the bar cutter. Once you have all the tools and supplies it s fairly easy to install. Since the rotation of the blade means that it s entering through the coating the blow out would be on the glass side. Do not wet the surface for the rotary tool.
