Scoring and Breaking

Scoring should be done using a glass cutter (tile cutter, e.g. hand cutter 6 or 8 mm carbide wheel housed in a ball bearing casing. The breaking is then done evenly, applying a constant pressure, using glazier’s pliers. The break edges should then be sanded with sanding pads, to minimise risk of injury.

The ligher you score (apply the least amount of pressure to score the tile) the better it snaps – the glass tile does not break because of the force, it breaks because of the heat generated fromt he carbide wheel.
