How To
How to Replacing a Broken Tile
Step 1: Remove the old tiles.
Remove the old tiles from your flooring and put them aside. If you intend to use them, you will want to keep them intact. It's important to note which parts are missing or damaged in order to be able to find the right replacements.
Step 2 -- Choose New Tiles
Look at these different options for replacing tiles.
-
You should find a similar tile to the one that you've just taken out.
-
Use the measurements you took when removing the tile to find a matching piece. This allows you to easily find the perfect size without needing to measure again.
-
Be open to different colors, patterns or textures.
-
If you have a preference for grout, consider what it would be best to use. Some people prefer solid color; others enjoy mixing it up.
-
You should ensure that the tile you choose is resistant to 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 picked your tile, place an order online or call your local Lowe's location to place it.
Step 3 Install the new tiles.
Use the same method as before to install your new tiles. It's important to align them correctly in order for them to fit together.
Step 4 - Clean Up
Clean up any debris on the floor before you apply the last layer of protective material.
This will keep dust and dirt from getting into the grout between tiles, which could lead to mold.
Step 5: Sand down the Floor
After cleaning, sand the floors to remove any particles.
Step 6 - Close the door
Apply the protective coatings once the floor is smooth. 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. For example, if you have a lot of kids running around, you may want to consider using an anti-slip coating on top of the protective layer.
And finally, remember to leave the protective sealer on for several weeks before moving back into your home.
