How To
How to Replace Broken Tiles
Step 1: Remove the old tiles.
The tiles should be removed from the flooring and placed aside. If you plan to use these tiles later, it is important that you keep them in good condition. To avoid any problems with replacements, take note of the pieces that have been damaged or lost.
Step 2 - Choose New Tiles
Check out these options for tile replacement.
-
Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.
-
Use the measurements you took when removing the tile to find a matching piece. This will allow you to quickly find the right size, without having to measure again.
-
Look for various colors, patterns, textures, sizes, shapes, etc.
-
If you have a preference for grout, consider what it would be best to use. Some people prefer to use a single color, while others love mixing it up.
-
Be sure to select a tile that is resistant against moisture.
-
The final thing to consider is the location of the tile. It will save you time and money if you make sure there's enough space for the proper installation.
-
Once you've found the tile that suits your needs, you can place your order online.
Step 3 – Install the new tiles.
Use the same method as before to install your new tiles. Be careful to align them properly so they fit together perfectly.
Step 4: Clean Up
Be sure to sweep up all debris from the floor before applying the final protective layer.
This will stop dirt and dust from entering the cracks between tiles.
Step 5 - Sand Down the Floor
After cleaning, sand the floors to remove any particles.
Step 6 - Close the door
Once the floor is smooth, apply the protective coatings. Because wet paint can cause damage to the tiles' surfaces, it is important that you wait.
To help prevent stains, you could always use a product called 'damp-anddry' on your floors.
It will not address all problems that may arise once your tiles have been installed. If you have children, an anti-slip coating may be a good idea.
Last but not least, be sure to leave the protective sealing on for several weeks before you return to your home.
