How to cut glass and metal backsplash?
Mosaic tiles are very popular options for kitchen backsplashes. Since they come in a mesh backer, they are very easy to install. But the tricky part comes when you need to cut mosaic tiles, especially those that combine more than one material. And if you don’t cut them correctly, it can break the whole backsplash look.
When it comes to cutting tiles, each material requires specific equipment. For basic glass tiles, a carbide-tipped glass cutter can be enough. Or for the common metal backsplashes, you can score the line with a metal scoring tool and then snap the sheet. However, if you are going to use a backsplash with multi-materials that needs intricate cuts, you may need a more professional cutting tool like a wet saw with a diamond blade. A wet saw will prevent cracking and chipping and give you the best results.
However, if you don’t have a wet saw and looking for something more affordable, the best technique for safely cutting mosaic tile will be to remove the individual tiles from the mesh and cut each piece separately. You can cut the glass tiles with a manual tile cutter and metal pieces with a hack saw. Once you finish the cutting process, then you need to re-attach the tiles on the mesh. To preserve the unity and the original pattern of the mosaic, you will need spacers when re-attaching the tiles.
