Need help cutting mosaic glass tiles Nov 16, 2009 10:29 AM
(Total replies: 1)
My husband and I took on the project of tiling our kitchen backsplash. It's going ok with the exception of the mosaic tiles. I'm using 2 rows of 1 inch square glass tiles as an accent. Tiles are 1/4" thick. It's between 2 4.5"x4.5" ceramic tiles. The problem I'm having is that I need to be able to cut the mosaic tiles around the outlets in the wall. I haven't been able to find a tool that works. The row of mosaic tiles has a mesh backing. Since each tile is separate, and so small, the wet saw doesn't work very well, the tiles bunch up as they hit the blade. I tried using the handheld tile cutter but it shatters the mosaic tile and I can't get a straight cut. Any ideas about how I can cut the mosaic tiles? Also, I have an inside corner in the counter. I will need to end with a 3 inch piece of tile. Do I need to start the adjacent wall with a 3 inch piece as well, or do I start with a full piece? Do I need to miter the tiles at the corner? Do I grout those, or caulk them? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |
