如何：剪切陶瓷瓷砖

小于中等大小的陶瓷平铺作业是一个在大多数DIYERS掌握中的项目。通过仔细测量，正确的工具和认真的关注细节，一个确定的房主可以实现令人满意的结果。但是做正确的事情可能是耗时的。案例分数：即使是最多直接的平铺工作需要切割几块瓷砖，是否完成表面的边缘或绕障碍物工作。切割瓷砖是一种要求准确测量和精确使用工具的任务。为了确保您的项目顺利进行，最好提前弄清楚如何处理所有这些削减。

Different jobs require different types of cuts. For some, you’ll be able to get by with just straight cuts; for others, you may need to cut on the diagonal or carve a corner or curve out of a tile. And each type of cut entails different methods and tools. As you lay out your tile design, determine what kinds of cuts you’ll need, then check below for the situation that best describes your job to find out how to proceed.

Before you begin:Whatever cuts you’re making, the general process is the same: Measure and mark the tile on the top (glazed) side, snap or cut it, then smooth the edges. If you’re doing a one-time job that will require a tile cutter or wet saw, you may want to rent instead of buy; these tools are available for rental from home improvement stores. If you have never used any of these tools before, it’s a good idea to practice a little on some备用或废料瓷砖before you get started in earnest.

请注意，以下划分只是一般指导方针：对于某些图块，您可能需要使用工具和技术的组合。最重要的是，在开始任何涉及切割瓷砖的项目之前，请戴上眼睛保护和手套！

SMALL JOBS WITH STRAIGHT CUTS

If you need to cut just a few tiles and you don’t need to make any curved or corner cuts, you can probably make do with a carpenter’s square and a glass cutter. The latter tool costs little and can be found in craft stores and home stores, as well as online. You can在亚马逊上挑选一个超过10美元。

第1步：测量和标记。测量，然后使用铅笔标记要切割的瓷砖。

第2步：得分。将瓷砖放在平坦的表面上，例如工作台或一块胶合板。将您的方形略微脱离标记的线，以便玻璃切割机（或钳子上的得分轮）将击中正确的位置。然后，从瓦片边缘开始，将评分工具放在行上，并在拖动瓦片时牢牢地按下。您应该听到刮擦噪音，这是瓷砖被评分的标志。

第3步：Snap。If you’re using pliers, open them and slide the tile all the way into them, with the scoring wheel sitting directly under the line you’ve scored on top of the tile. Squeeze the pliers while gently supporting the tile as it snaps. If you’re used a glass cutter, place a length of wire hanger or other appropriately sized material beneath the scored line, then push down on either side of the tile to snap it; alternatively, grab the tile nippers and snap off the scored piece.

第4步：平滑。如果瓷砖的切削刃粗糙，用摩擦石光滑。

直线切割的更大的工作

If you have lots of tiles to cut, or if you need to make cuts from corner to corner, use a tile cutter. Whether you plan to invest in the purchase or rent one to save a few bucks, just make sure you pick up a tile cutter that’s big enough for the tile you’re cutting! Then, as mentioned above, practice on a few spare tiles until you’re comfortable with this tiling tool.

第1步：测量和标记。首先，测量和标记要切割的瓷砖。

第2步：得分。将瓷砖放入瓷砖刀具中。确保瓦片紧贴围绕围栏，并且标记线直接在得分轮下。在手柄上施加轻微压力时，将轮子向前滑过瓷砖。您应该听到刮擦噪音，这是瓷砖被评分的标志。

第3步：Snap。一旦你打进瓷砖，就可以从瓷砖的边缘稍微向后移动手柄，让脚踏的脚在瓷砖顶部平坦。在手柄上施加向下压力，瓦片将捕捉。

第4步：平滑。如果瓷砖的切削刃粗糙，用摩擦石光滑。

角落削减和真正的工作

如果您将削减大量的瓷砖，或者如果您需要在门贾姆斯或墙壁网点周围制作角落切口，请投资湿锯或从当地家庭中心租一个。（我建议租用，除非您希望将来做多种类似的项目。）与任何电动工具一样，在开始之前仔细阅读说明书，并注意推荐的安全预防措施。在跳入项目之前，采取一些练习削减也是不好的想法。

第1步：测量和标记。首先，测量和标记要切割的瓷砖。

第2步：切割。遵循所有制造商对湿锯的说明，并确保您在浴缸中放入足够的水。转动湿锯，确认水流在刀片上，然后继续让你的削减方式，你将在桌子上切割木头。

第3步：平滑。如果瓷砖的切削刃粗糙，用摩擦石光滑。

弯曲的剪辑

To make curved cuts, or to remove small pieces of tile, use tile nippers (6ew an example on Amazon）。有耐心，因为你可以一次成功地切断瓷砖。

第1步：测量和标记。首先，测量和标记要切割的瓷砖。

第2步：捏合。Starting at the edge of the tile, place the tile into the tile nippers and squeeze, removing just a small amount of tile. In this fashion, continue to work your way toward your marked line, taking off only a little bit of tile at a time. If you try to remove too much at once, you will end up cracking the tile. As you get closer to your marked line, take smaller and smaller nips.

第3步：平滑。捏合瓷砖的切削刃将是粗糙的，所以请务必用摩擦石。
