Simple Kitchen Backsplash Ideas-**glass tile kitchen backsplash**?
May 27, 2009
We have ordered some 2×2 opque glass tiles on a 12×12 mesh backing for our backsplash. We have a 10 inch wet saw and a reg. diamond blade for ceramic tile. We have been told this will not work on glass tile. What blade do we need? We have never tiled but my husband was a homebuilder for years. We have also heard we cannot cut curves with glass tile. Is this true We will need a few curves cut for one small area. We are planning on installing over primed and painted drywall. Will this be a problem? We need some advice. Thanks

Hi
Yes you can cut glass tile with a wet saw. Most diamond blades will chip the glass. There are special diamond blades on the market that are made especially for cutting glass. Even though I have not used one, the reports I have been getting from people who have are very favorable. I did attend a seminar for Bisazza Glass last Sept. and the info was to have plenty of water on the blade when cutting and to go slowly. They even suggested using a second water pump to increase the amount of water necessary. It was also recommended to use the diamond blade made for glass.
Each manufacturer of glass tiles has their own specific installation instructions, and it is the industry consensus to follow them to the letter. This is because there are many different types of glass on the market and only they know what is best for their product. If you have any questions pertaining to the installation I suggest you call them directly. In the past, I have never been turned down by any manufacturer as to giving help. Actually they were most helpful.
Curves can be cut, but they are tricky. Hope this helped.
