Are you thinking of painting the tiles in the kitchen or perhaps the ones in the bathroom? So you should let yourself be carried away by everything we have for you, because we don't want you to make some of the most frequent mistakes. Since we let ourselves be carried away by the moment and we jump into the void. But this can have somewhat complicated consequences.
Especially since the result will not be the same or what we expect. So, Before getting down to work, nothing like discovering the advice that we have already prepared for you. From them then you can enjoy a great change in the walls of your home. You will see how your work will be well done!
Not cleaning surfaces well
It is what we have been commenting on, that sometimes we let ourselves be carried away by impulse and then we put our hands to our heads. Because one of the first steps that we must take is to clean the surfaces that we are going to paint well. They have to be without dirt and perfectly smooth, since we will not see it but grease or moisture is quite common to nest in the tiles. Why should we take it into account? Because if the surface is not completely clean, then the paint will not be as we would like, it will not adhere. So, remember that with a little alcohol and a cloth on them, you will have a completely clean surface.
Buy a basic painting
What do we paint the tiles with? Well, since we don't know very well, we opted for a basic painting, which we sometimes have at home and which can be for the walls. No, that is another of the most frequent errors. We must choose a paint that is intended for tiles, since only in this way will we avoid many problems. When we are in front of some special paint cans for said area, we will achieve that result that we are waiting for so much. But we will see how the painting ends up rising sooner than we thought.
The wrong choice of tools to paint the tiles
Yes, it is another of the mistakes when painting the tiles. Because although paint is something basic, the tools used to apply it are not far behind. Therefore, of all, we are left with a roller that is not too large. If you have fairly wide tiles, then you can use the foam roller. Why? Well, because they are in charge of betting on more paint. But be careful, because not only the roller is what we need. Also We are going to have a brush or palette on hand, because they are flat and will help us reach all those corners that the roller cannot. For example, the joint area. Sometimes the first thing to do is paint the joints and then the tile itself. It's up to you!
Add coat of paint but without sanding
Another mistake that is repeated over and over again. Because if you already have the tiles painted, but you want to add a new layer or repaint them completely, you can't do it directly. What you have to carry out is the sanding and then the painting. Because otherwise the result will be a surface that is not completely smooth and more details will be noticed than we think. So, haste and desire are not good advisers in this case. The best thing is to sand and when we have removed the previous paint and we have cleaned the surface well, then we will have to bet on a new layer of paint.
It is true that it will take us more time, but at least we will not be making any kind of mistake. What makes us have a better final result and that is what interests us.
