You have finished repairs in the bathroom, put the tile, and now follows the most responsible activity – guiding gloss and beauty. To do this, you will use various design approaches – installing interesting lockers, lamps or just jewelry. But the question is how to fix them? After all, it is not so easy to drill a hole in the tile – it is too fragile, one awkward movement and redo the entire repair! But there are some tips to easily and without loss to do this work.
Preparatory work for drilling tiles
First, you should get all the necessary tools. We will need an electric drill, with the work from the network or battery. The winning drills of the required diameter, one of which should be for stone and concrete, and the other drill for tiles. Such a drill has a spearhead. Scotch tape or mounting tape and marker.
We provided ourselves with the tool, now we will start work.
Drilling in tiles
We plan a drilling point with a marker and cover it with tape on top. If the tape is dense and opaque, then you can first stick it, and take a mark on the tape. This procedure is necessary to prevent the slope of the drill, which can lead to damage to the tiles.
Insert a drill for tiles, if there is such an opportunity, put low speeds into the drill. In no case do not put stress drilling mode, this will lead to the split of the tile. We install the drill perpendicular to the tile and at low speeds without pressure, we begin the drilling process. The most important thing here is to have patience, since it is forbidden to accelerate work, increasing the speed, and pressure on the drill, unless you want to lay a new tile. During drilling, you can periodically moisten the drill with water to prevent heating, but it is better to use machine oil.
As soon as you drill the tile, you should change the drill to the winning for concrete. The drill should be the same diameter or slightly less, so as not to spoil the masonry. If you want to reduce the amount of garbage, you can set the vacuum cleaner to the hole during drilling, then all the dust will fall into it, and not into the apartment. This ended with drilling holes in tiles. You can insert a wooden chock or dowel into the resulting move – a nail, which is more acceptable.
