How To
How to Replacing a Broken Tile
Step 1: Take away the old tiles.
The tiles should be removed from the flooring and placed aside. These tiles should be kept intact in case you need them again. It's important to note which parts are missing or damaged in order to be able to find the right replacements.
Step 2 - Select 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 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.
-
Look for various colors, patterns, textures, sizes, shapes, etc.
-
Consider which grout you would like to use, if any. Some people prefer a certain color, others like to mix it up.
-
Make sure the tile you select is resistant to moisture.
-
Finally, consider the placement of your new tile -- you can save time and money by ensuring the area you're installing it in has enough space for proper installation.
-
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.
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 vacuum up all crumbs and debris before applying the last layer.
This will prevent dust and dirt from building up between the tiles.
Step 5 - Sand the Floor
After cleaning everything, sand down the floor to remove any loose particles left behind by the previous step.
Step 6: Finish off
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.
For stain protection, you can always use a product called "damp&dry" to clean your floors.
However, it won't cover every possible problem that may occur after you've installed your new tiles. Consider adding an anti slip coating to your protective layer if you have kids.
Last but not least, be sure to leave the protective sealing on for several weeks before you return to your home.
