Repair accompanies a person all his life! Many have experience in it, but questions still arise. This article will give several valuable tips that would be nice to take note. Additional knowledge will never hurt!
So, here are some useful tips:
1. It makes no sense to purchase an expensive drill on the tile. It is quite ordinary drill on concrete with a carbide tip. It is only necessary to bring it a little to mind in terms of sharpening, because the factory sharpening is not particularly acute. To do this, it is necessary to sharpen the edges of the tip of the drill to the state of a sharp knife. This can be done both by a grinder and an electricity, the main thing is not to overheat the tip.
2. As soon as the drill is prepared and markings on the tile under the place of future drilling, it is advisable to glue pockets from paper on tape. Dust will fall into this pocket during drilling, as a result, wet cleaning of walls and floor can be avoided.
3. It will be optimal to use a shock drill to drill ceramic tiles, not a perforator. The perforator is not recommended due to high impact power to avoid tile exfoliation due to strong vibration. At the beginning of the work, the shock drill will need to be transferred into a drilling mode without a blow until the thickness of the tile itself is passed. And then you can already transfer to the “rotation with a blow” and bring the hole to the required depth.
4. In the drilled holes in the tile, you need to install plastic dowels under the screws of fasteners. When installing dowels in the holes, you should very carefully fasten them with a small hammer so that there are about 2 mm to the end to prevent a tile impact. Protruding.
5. Special attention should be paid to the method of drilling holes of large diameter. First you need to drill holes with a diameter of 6 mm in the right places, and then only re -walk along them with a large drill.
6. All of the foregoing concerned clay -based ceramics, but it is worth saying a few words to drill tiles made of artificial granite. It is much firmly than ceramic tiles, so the drill is quickly stupid, while heated. It is recommended to pour a small puddle of water into the place of drilling and drill a “six” so that the drill tip is constantly wet.
Thank you for your attention! Successful repairs!
