Cutting Glass Tile

 

Cutting glass mosaic tiles can be an intimidating first step for novice tilers, but here's some advice and tips. Practice will make you infinitely more comfortable with the task, so make sure you have a few extra tiles to work with before beginning work on the final product. The key to making precise, accurate cuts is knowing which tools to use. Because they can be fragile, it is crucial to use glass-specific cutters when cutting glass tiles. Most tile nippers, designed for ceramics and porcelain, will chip and splinter glass. 

A Wheeled Nipper is the best tool for cutting 3/4” tiles, while a Scorer-Breaker can be used for both straight lines and less uniform shapes. Remember to keep tools sharp and clean. The round blade of a wheeled nipper can be easily replaced.   
 

How to use a Scorer-Breaker:

 

  1. Always cut glass on a flat surface.
     
  2. Always use a metal ruler to guide your cut. Holding the scoring blade at the edge of the glass tile, apply firm, even pressure as you slide the tool across its width.

    Susan Jablon QuickTip:
             Practice First!

    Pressing too hard will splinter the tile; too lightly may make the tile difficult to break. Practice on scrap tiles to ensure a clean cut on the final tiles.
     
  3. Place the tile between the pliers with the scored line over the raised breaking line of the tool. Squeeze firmly on the handles (this action presses the tile against the breaking bar) until the tile snaps along the score line. Keep your hands at the back of the tool while squeezing.
