Glass Tile Cutting Tips and Tricks
Learn from common mistakes instead of making them yourself. Here’s a list of tips that we’ve collected from years of experience cutting glass mosaic tiles.
Wheeled Nippers and Scorer-Breakers are the best tools to use with glass tile. Side cutters and chipper nippers, made specifically for use with ceramics and porcelain, will crack or chip glass tiles.
Keep tools sharp and oiled for best results.
If you’re having problems making accurate cuts, take pressure off of the tool.
Gently squeeze the back of the handle when applying the breaking pressure.
Safety first! Remember not to grab and hold glass by its edge.
The entire piece of glass should remain on a flat surface while cutting. Allowing part of the tile to hang off the edge may cause the glass to break in the wrong place.
