How to install bathroom cabinet onto a wall that is tiled with porcelain?
Our bathroom is tiled entirely with porcelain tiles (30 cm by 60 cm), floor to ceiling. We want to install a bathroom cabinet above the sink, onto the wall.
Is it safe to drill into the tile? Do we need a special drill? My dad is pretty good with handy work and he says we could drill int he grout between the tiles but I am not convinced!
I want to do this the right way so please advise. Many thanks.
It should be easy to drill through the grout joint, but sometimes the place you need to drill is not at a grout joint.
In this case you can drill through the tile. I recommend a diamond drill bit. You can buy one a lowes for about $15. They also make carbide tipped blades for ceramic tile, but porcelain tile is much harder and the diamond bit is better.
