As a home owner you will like to do things at your home yourself and these include the putting up of a towel stand in the bathroom or the drilling of a hole in the ceramic tiles at home.
The hardness of the ceramic tile is on the surface and the inner core is not that hard. In fact the clay used in the making of the ceramic tile determines its hardness and it will also depend on the region from where the clay was procured. The hardness is then acquired when the clay is heated and forms the ceramic tile.
The drilling of the ceramic tiles will require the carbide tipped drill bits. These bits when used against the ceramic tile cause a lot of heat to be generated and hence you will need to have a coolant like water or oil nearby for dissipating the heat. The other option is to use the diamond drill bit but they are expensive though they are the best in terms of use with glass or ceramic tile drilling.
The outer glazed surface of the ceramic tile is very hard and brittle hence you need top be careful about two things. The first one is that never use the hammer drill. Secondly always drill at very slow speeds when drilling the glazed hard surface of the tile.
While drilling make sure that are doing it very slowly because if the drill slips away then it can cause scratch marks on the tile and you will not be able to use the tile with the scratch marks. You need to very careful when doing the initial first drill on the tile.
Be careful and approach slowly and your work will be done without any damage to the tile. It is for your benefit that you tread cautiously when you are doing ceramic tile drilling so as to prolong the life of the drill bit - 16035
