Cutting glass tile?

Question

I'm installing a backsplash comprised 1" x 1" glass tiles. They are 8mm thick and have a colored backing to them. I'm concerned about how to go about making sure I get a clean cut without s******g up the colored backing. Can I still score and snap these tiles or do I need a wet saw?

Answer 1

Since it s glass this is no glaze and that , when scoring and breaking regular tile the glaze is what gives it strength you score the glaze when snapping tile.. You ll need a wet saw and a good blade.. 1x1 glass being so small be care full when cutting, hold glass on both sides and wear glasses because chips can fly sometimes  GL

Answer 2

Don't waste your time, do it right, get a wet saw from a rental place.

Answer 3

The best way to install the 1" tile is to start from the bottom and work your way up. if it falls between tiles, get a piece of decorative wood trim to attach to your cabinets and cover the gap.
