Cutting Rectangular Socket Hole in 4mm Tempered Glass with Splashback Print

How to cut a rectangular hole in tempered glass with the so-called splashback print under the socket. 4mm glass.

Is it tempered?
If tempered - no way.

Yes. I already corrected. It is tempered glass. So how do they do it because some offer it with a hole. They charge ?12 per hole. They make it before tempering? And a small manual milling machine and high revolutions will not cope.

Yes.

He can do it, only the glass will break into hexagons.

Tempered glass can no longer be processed (even water or laser cutting will affect the structure of the whole - it will fall apart immediately or in a short time).

There is probably a possibility of forgiveness.
But is it profitable?

Oh well. I will order with holes as soon as possible and if there are wall-mounted sockets from the bottom of the furniture hanging in the kitchen.

I'll tell you why I'm asking. If I order a given size, e.g. in three parts with one higher part with one print on the whole, it is not a problem to order with a hole. However, if he buys a finished product with a pattern that is not part of the drawing with standard dimensions, then they are without a hole and cannot be ordered for the price by pol.

I read your other posts with questions and I have the impression that you want to make a Christmas tree out of the kitchen.
Will you or your wife (if you are married) last long in such a kitchen?
The kitchen is the place where you practically spend the most active time at home and you won't last long with such a Christmas tree, even for the next holidays.

There's no chance of getting anything done on time for the upcoming holidays. It won't be a Christmas tree. Instead of old tiles on the walls, modern glass splashbacks and new countertops.

I hope you don't misunderstand me.
I am old-fashioned and although I got to know many new and interesting technologies and effects, I am still drawn to traditional interiors. Anyway, the very fact that I am passionate about restoring, repairing and conserving antiques and artifacts also proves that I prefer traditional and proven effects.
I could give you step by step instructions on how to do it. special effects on old furniture, but you probably won't be interested, because as I see you are going towards the latest solutions.
Nevertheless, these so-called special effects are all the rage these days.

The option of sockets is under the hanging cabinets as surface-mounted. The plinths are quite high and the sockets will not be visible, especially the shallow ones are probably an inch high. Well, I might add one or two. appliances such as a toaster, kettle, microwave are plugged in all the time. I will consider this from a practical point of view. If I turn the socket so that the cable from the plug comes out towards the wall, I get that the cable runs down the wall. But because we finally give up the glass across the entire width because the dimension is non-standard for a height of 470mm and glass in this dimension is 30% more expensive than the height of 500mm, so a laminated board will go for the spalshback. So perhaps there will be sockets in it or as I wrote under the cabinets.

Solutions can be different, and sockets in different places and differently finished.
You can place the sockets in one place, for example, 2-3 one below the other on the vertical strip of the board, and next to it, put the glass only shorter by the width of the vertical plate with sockets. Such plates can also be a kind of break or contrast in the entire continuity of glass under the cabinets.
You can also install the sockets in the wall and cover them with such bands of a plate mounted on hinges and closed, so-called. push latches so that you will not see the sockets, only the cables going under this plate-door.
Don't forget to continue the electrical circuit ring (double sided feed) when switching or adding outlets, as kitchen appliances consume a lot of power and cables can get hot if the ring is broken and one sided feed is left, which can cause a fire, especially when outlets and junction boxes are plastic and mounted on wood or board.

The electrical installation had been renovated earlier. I have already replaced one socket from a regular one with a socket with USB sockets and there is one cable, so there is no ring.

You can get a warning for such advice in Poland. Don't move British rings to Polish soil because it's like trying to get two taps above the sink, each with different water. And start writing in Polish, because you used to be able to, and now you pretend to be able to otherwise.

Three years ago, a friend replaced the windows and I brought the glass from these windows, i.e. packages. I took them apart to put them in the gazebo. And zonk. I didn't see that they had bespo subtitles. And with my son we tried to cut. Ok, the diamond scratched but when I knocked the knife in the scratch, the processing ended. Your windows will come out the same way.

The author of the topic is in Plymouth, which is in the UK. So that's the best advice for the country you live in.

As for my writing, it was probably explained a few years ago.
Besides, I don't enjoy typing when I can barely see the keyboard through the cataract, and I'll probably stop typing soon.

Sorry, I didn't pay attention. Sorry.

And what kind of transfer is this ... I was surprised recently at the client's when it turned out that each circuit of the sockets in the rooms was on a separate ring. Is this something incompatible with our art??? Because maybe I don't know something?
And the house. Not so new (that an electrician would do after returning from the islands out of habit) because it is over 20 years old, i.e. before the great emigration to the UK.

You do not know. But that's not the topic. And not here.

Greater reliability. Higher load capacity because in the ring at the point there is a cross-section of the wire x2. Hence, a greater protection of the circuit is possible. Although the sockets have 13A, it is significant for two sockets. There is no limitation for one circuit cannot be more than 2KW. Is there such a rule in Poland?

I checked more closely and all the holes in the glass are made before tempering. It is not physically possible to make a hole after hardening.

It remains to order a panel with holes for sockets, or as I wrote when buying standard panels of standard sizes, the location of sockets under wall-mounted cabinets. Well these are pretty thin.

Is. You cannot compare British installations to Polish installations at all. The mains power supply is solved differently, the installations are carried out differently. In England there are rings, because the sockets have their own protection. And in Poland, atmospheric discharges can induce a voltage of hundreds of thousands of volts in such a ring!
