How To
How to Replace Broken Tiles
Step 1 - Take out the old tiles.
The tiles should be removed from the flooring and placed 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
Take a look at some different options available for tile replacement.
-
Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.
-
To find the matching piece, use the measurements that you took while removing the tile. This allows you to easily find the perfect size without needing to measure again.
-
Be open to different colors, patterns or textures.
-
Consider the grout you want to use. Some people like a consistent color while others prefer mixing it.
-
You should ensure that the tile you choose is resistant to moisture.
-
Also, think about where you want to place your new tile. This will help you save time and money.
-
Once you've picked your tile, place an order online or call your local Lowe's location to place it.
Step 3 - Place the tiles.
You can install new tiles in the same way you did before. Make sure they are aligned correctly so that they fit together perfectly.
Step 4 – Clean up
Clean up any debris on the floor before you apply the last layer of protective material.
This will prevent dirt or dust from collecting between the tiles and causing mold.
Step 5: Sand down the Floor
After you have cleaned everything, sand the floor to remove any particles that were left from the previous step.
Step 6 - Finish Off
Once the floor is smooth, apply the protective coatings. You should wait until this stage as wet paint can stain new tiles.
You can always use a "damp and dry" product on your floors to protect them from staining.
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.
Remember to let the protective sealer remain on for several additional weeks before you move into your home.
