Drilling Tiles

Use a power drill set at slow speed fitted with a masonry bit.

Avoid using hammer action on the drill as it could crack the tile.

For larger holes of 1/2in upwards, you can either buy a tungsten-tipped hole saw or drill several holes with a masonry bit and join them up with a carbide-blade saw. You will need to finish the hole off with a file.
