Glass tile cutting and install tips please

Best way to cut glass tile? Any other tips? I'm putting a band of glass tile in half way up the wall in shower sandwiched between large format porcelain tile. the porcelain and glass are the same width. Should I put some kind of backer in so I use less thinset or just roll with the same thinset depth as the larger tile?


I'll take all the tips you have. I didn't see a detailed video on glass tile so if there is one out there I'd love to get the link also. Thanks for the support.

Not perfect, but looks good. First glass tile. Still working on the corners to finish. The glass wasn’t too bad to cut….used QEP glass blade on Rigid wet saw and finished like Ben suggested. BUT cutting the small pieces I have broken soooo many corners. I haven’t come up with a good technique other than go slow and try again: I finally have enough corners to finish. My only concern going forward is the 1/16th grout line when tile expands and contracts. It looks so good with small lines, but sure don’t want broken tiles. Too late for me but for future people looking for help should I have used larger grout lines? Thanks for the support so far.


PS….tub will sit in front of this wall
