Porcelain Tile / August 24, 2018 / Brousseau.
Porcelain comes in many shapes sizes and beautiful designs. All of these characteristics seem to make porcelain the clear choice when it comes to quality durability and easy of cleaning and maintenance. In reality the truth can be vastly different. The specifications regarding porcelain tiles are never verified or tested so any manufacturer can claim that their tiles are porcelain. Tile manufacturers can claim that they are manufacturing porcelain tiles without having them tested. In many cases tiles labeled as porcelain do not have the characteristics that make them quality tiles.
Recommended Equipment for Drilling Porcelain Tile. High quality diamond core drill bits. Carbide pilot drill bit - only required if youre drilling large diameter holes (13mm or larger) and dont have a suitable-sized (8mm) diamond drill bit. Masonry drill bits - included with quality tile drill bits. Water cooling equipment. Electric drill Clear safety glasses / goggles.
Simply start the drill in a vertical position and the sticky pad will ensure that the drill does not slip. Once you have finished drilling the tile simply peel off the sticky drive pad. Because the majority of small diameter holes will be cut into tiles already fixed to the wall it will be necessary to drill a fixing hole behind the tile. Replace the diamond core with the appropriately sized masonry drill bit and set the drill to hammer mode. Use a slow speed for drilling into hard materials to ensure that the tip doesnt overheat. Ensure that the drill bit is frequently withdrawn in order to stop a build up of dust.
The polished porcelain on the other hand goes through a more refined process and comes out looking almost like a granite finish or has a glossy effect without the glaze. In choosing the perfect ceramic porcelain tiles for your finishing you must know the colour combination or contrast in the areas where you will install the tiles and the kind of exposure the tiles may be subjected to.
