The process requires special care and skill to ensure the integrity of the material and to prevent breakage. Special glass drill bits are usually used for the work, the tip of which is coated with <a href=\"https:\/\/et.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Teemantpuur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diamond powder<\/a>, allowing the material to be drilled without breaking it. If a special-shaped opening needs to be made in the glass, we use a CNC machine for that. When using both technologies, the glass must be cooled to prevent overheating and breaking, which is why you may also see a lot of water during drilling.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"ama-block block-txtmedia reverse-order\"><div class=\"block__body\"><div class=\"body__content\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-semi-large-font-size wp-el\">Why are holes and openings needed in glass and mirrors?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">Drilling glass and mirrors is used in many fields. It is used, for example, for installing the necessary <a href=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/en\/category\/fittings\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/en\/category\/fittings\/\">fittings<\/a> for <a href=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/en\/glass-solutions\/shower-glass\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/en\/glass-solutions\/shower-glass\/\">shower glass<\/a> and glass display cabinets, or for making openings for sockets in kitchen backsplash mirrors and glass. We have also made a hole in a glass door so that a cat could go in and out. Therefore, openings in glass can be used both for practical purposes and as design elements.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><div class=\"body__media\"><div class=\"splide\" data-splide={\"type\":\"fade\",\"pagination\":false}><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"splide__list\"><li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6948-scaled-1-960x1280.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"txtmedia-block_62fc3236c80be987dca8a7478056723e\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6948-scaled-1-620x413.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img-620x413 size-img-620x413\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6948-scaled-1-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_6948-scaled-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"splide__arrows hide-arrows\"><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 60\"><path d=\"M-4584.91,1574.979a1,1,0,0,1-.845-.37l-18.181-29.412a.4.4,0,0,1,0-.437l18.181-29.411a1.122,1.122,0,0,1,1.182-.328c.466.121.693.463.507.765l-18.046,29.193,18.046,29.193c.187.3-.041.644-.507.765A1.347,1.347,0,0,1-4584.91,1574.979Z\" transform=\"translate(4604 -1514.979)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/button><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 60\"><path d=\"M-4603.091,1574.979a1,1,0,0,0,.845-.37l18.181-29.412a.4.4,0,0,0,0-.437l-18.181-29.411a1.122,1.122,0,0,0-1.182-.328c-.466.121-.693.463-.507.765l18.046,29.193-18.046,29.193c-.187.3.041.644.507.765A1.347,1.347,0,0,0-4603.091,1574.979Z\" transform=\"translate(4604 -1514.979)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ama-block block-txtmedia\"><div class=\"block__body\"><div class=\"body__content\">\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-semi-large-font-size wp-el\">What must be considered when drilling and making openings?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">When drilling glass and mirrors, several important technical details must be considered. First, the thickness of the glass or mirror must be taken into account \u2013 the thicker the material, the slower and more carefully the drilling must be carried out. When drilling holes, it must also be ensured that the openings and holes made in the glass or mirror are not too close to the edge, as in such cases the material may break under stress. If the glass is intended to be tempered, all openings and holes must be drilled before tempering, as it is not possible to do this afterwards.<\/p>\n\n<\/div><div class=\"body__media\"><div class=\"splide\" data-splide={\"type\":\"fade\",\"pagination\":false}><div class=\"splide__track\"><ul class=\"splide__list\"><li class=\"splide__slide\"><a href=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_5555-scaled-1-960x1280.jpg\" data-fancybox=\"txtmedia-block_293adcda109e7770f5684ad437937c22\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_5555-scaled-1-620x413.jpg\" class=\"attachment-img-620x413 size-img-620x413\" alt=\"\" srcset=\"https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_5555-scaled-1-620x413.jpg 620w, https:\/\/klaasissepa.ee\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/IMG_5555-scaled-1-360x240.jpg 360w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 620px) 100vw, 620px\" \/><\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/div><div class=\"splide__arrows hide-arrows\"><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--prev\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 60\"><path d=\"M-4584.91,1574.979a1,1,0,0,1-.845-.37l-18.181-29.412a.4.4,0,0,1,0-.437l18.181-29.411a1.122,1.122,0,0,1,1.182-.328c.466.121.693.463.507.765l-18.046,29.193,18.046,29.193c.187.3-.041.644-.507.765A1.347,1.347,0,0,1-4584.91,1574.979Z\" transform=\"translate(4604 -1514.979)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/button><button class=\"splide__arrow splide__arrow--next\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"20\" height=\"60\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 60\"><path d=\"M-4603.091,1574.979a1,1,0,0,0,.845-.37l18.181-29.412a.4.4,0,0,0,0-.437l-18.181-29.411a1.122,1.122,0,0,0-1.182-.328c-.466.121-.693.463-.507.765l18.046,29.193-18.046,29.193c-.187.3.041.644.507.765A1.347,1.347,0,0,0-4603.091,1574.979Z\" transform=\"translate(4604 -1514.979)\" fill=\"currentColor\"\/><\/svg><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading wp-el\">Ask for a quote<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-el\">We have over 30 years of experience in drilling glass and mirrors, and our specialists know how to find the best solution for every need.
