I'm sure this has been covered but I couldn't find exactly what I'm asking, so here goes...
We are wanting to drill into ceramic wall tile, 4x4, to mount a 10 lb. mirror. Not sure how old the tile is (looks very) but the house was built in 1890s.
Plan was cover area to bill drilled w/ duct tape, use smallish? (1/4"?) 'carbide' a.k.a. 'masonry drill bit' as close to centers of four tiles for each corner or therabouts of mirror... Use a good pace when drilling. And then use some sort of anchoring bolts to secure?
Any suggestions on particular anchor-bolt-type? Not sure yet how mirror will mount -- assuming anchor bolts will act as some sort of dowel or securing mechanism?...
Thanks for any suggestions!
Mike
