WHAT ARE THE BEST WAYS TO PAINT CERAMIC FLOOR TILES?

Anti Slip Floor Tiles


Decorating and including accessories can only do so much when it comes to updating a room that has a particularly odd color of ceramic tile.

Paint does not like to stick to shiny slicks. With a little bit of extra preparation, you can paint your tile and create an enhancing surface that is much more visually appealing than the outdated look you may currently have.

Ensure you don't paint any tile surface that gets wet repeatedly. If you try to paint your shower surround or even your tub itself, you will be cleaning paint chips out of the bottom of your tub within a matter of weeks. It just won't stick. Things like your antique claw foot tub, your toilet, and shower stall can be painted with a highly specialized product that requires good skills.

There are 2 important criteria you must consider if you want to paint ceramic tile and they are preparing the surface properly and using the right type of paint. Here’s are the best ways to go about painting your tile.

Preparation

Here are what you are to do to prepare tile for painting:
·         Clean Tiles: Clean the tile to remove any dirt, mildew, or soap scum using an abrasive bathroom cleaner. After cleaning, wipe the surface down with a clean, wet sponge to remove any residue, and then allow the surface to dry thoroughly.
·         Sand Tile: Lightly sand the tile with fine (180-220 grit) synthetic grit sandpaper, such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide, to take the gloss off the glazed surface. An orbital sander will do a faster and better job than hand sanding.
·         Remove Dust: Wipe down the surface with a damp cloth to remove any dust and allow drying before painting.

Here are the materials needed to paint your tiles:
Commercial tile cleaner, handheld orbital sanders, 220-grit sandpaper, clean cloth, and Oil-based primer. Paintbrush, 1/8-inch paint roller, Oil-based paint, Paint thinner, and Rags.
