Can you still dig holes in the tiles that have been pasted?

If the balcony, bathroom and kitchen are pre-tiled, it will be more difficult for you to drill holes in them later. Because the tiles are relatively brittle, they will be broken if you are not careful. So how do you do that?

1. The first thing to do is to take a picture of the location of the hydropower with a camera to prevent drilling into the wires and water pipes. Then mark the area that needs to be drilled with a pencil and then apply some tape.

2. Remember not to use iron nails, to use sample punch or steel nails, first use a hammer and sample punch to make a small hole in the place just marked, so as to avoid the bricks will slip after touching the tiles. And the adhesive tape we just applied is to prevent accidental drilling.

3. Use the impact drill equipped with an impact hammer to vertically align the previously drilled holes, do not use too much force at the beginning, and then you can hit a little deeper after penetrating the tile.

4. After the hole is laid, the expansion pipe can be installed, and then the shelves to be installed are fixed.

Although the above is a more commonly used drilling method, but if the tile is more fragile, it is still easy to be cracked, here are three tips for you to offer:

1) When drilling, it will be better to choose the junction of the tiles, so that the tiles are not easy to crack, and it is best to be the junction of two tiles.

2) The middle part of some tiles is hollow, so remember not to be in the hollow place, which is easy to crack.

3) Because the water absorption of wall tiles is relatively high, you can continue to pour water on the wall tiles when drilling, and the tiles are less likely to crack.

In addition to the above methods, there is also a method introduced by netizens is to drill holes in the wooden board with a glass drill bit, so that the tiles can be fixed.

Yes, the pasted porcelain must be dry, with a hand drill and a set of simple drill bits, you can open as many holes as you want, as long as you drill the porcelain slowly will not crack.

Yes, but you need to be careful.

Tile Punching Steps:

1. Mark the position of the tile to be punched with a marker pen (it is best to choose a solid part), and paste the sealing tape.

2. Use a hammer and sample punch (there is no large steel nail available, remember that the steel nail is also called a cement nail, and not an iron nail) punch out a small dot with a diameter of about 2-3mm at the mark to remove the enamel on the surface of the tile.

3. Select the required diameter impact drill bit to install the impact hammer, vertically align the punch point, give appropriate pressure to start the impact hammer, the feed should not be too large, and the slow force can penetrate the tile smoothly. After penetrating the tile, it can be forcefully fed to the desired depth.

4. After drilling the hole, select the appropriate expansion pipe to bury and fix the required installation objects with screws.

Precautions. 1. If you want to fix the object with expansion bolts, you should select the required impact hammer drill bit according to the required bolt size. Generally, the nominal diameter of the bolt thread + 2 = the required drill diameter. If you make a hole larger than 10mm in the tile, it is recommended that novices do it in two parts.

For the first time, small holes are pre-drilled with a 6-8mm diameter drill bit, and then reamed with the required diameter drill bit to ensure that the tiles do not crack.

2. It is necessary to punch the point and paste the sealing box glue, which can effectively prevent the enamel on the surface of the tile from being shocked and impacted during the punching point and punching. It can also effectively prevent the unstable holding of the drill bit, which can cause the drill bit to slip and jump away from the required hole punching position and scratch the tile glaze.
