How To
How to replace a damaged tile
Step 1: Take away the old tiles.
Take out the tiles and place them on a new flooring surface. You'll want to keep these intact if you use them later. 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
Check out these options for tile replacement.
-
Find a new tile that's similar to the one you removed.
-
To find the right piece, take the measurements you took as you were removing the tiles. This will make it much easier to find the right size without measuring again.
-
Find colors, patterns textures, sizes and shapes in all possible combinations.
-
Consider which grout you would like to use, if any. Some people prefer a certain color, others like to mix it up.
-
Choose a tile that resists moisture.
-
Make sure you consider where your tile will be placed. It can help you save money and time.
-
After you've selected your tile, place your order online or at your local Lowe's shop.
Step 3 - Install the new tiles.
Install your tiles using the same method you used before. Be careful to align them properly so 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 dust and dirt from building up between the tiles.
Step 5: Sand down the Floor
After everything has been cleaned, sand it down to remove any remaining particles from the previous steps.
Step 6 - Close the door
Once the floor is smooth, apply the protective coatings. You should wait until this stage as wet paint can stain new tiles.
Remember, you can always use a product called "damp-and-dry" on your floors to help protect against stains.
However, it will not cover all possible problems that may arise after you have installed your tiles. 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.
Finally, do not forget to keep the protective sealer on for several more weeks before you move back into your home.
