Over time, many homes have gradually experienced problems such as wear and tear, fading of walls, especially tile walls. Traditional renovation methods often require chiseling old tiles, which is not only time-consuming and laborious, but can also cause damage to the wall. In this issue, we will introduce a renovation method that does not need to chisel old tiles.
1. Preparations
1. Evaluate the condition of the wall: first conduct a comprehensive inspection of the wall to understand the degree of damage of the tile, whether there are empty drums and other problems.
2. Prepare tools: Make sure you have the tools you need, such as tile scrapers, sandpaper, paint rollers, paint, protective film, etc.
3. Choose the right paint: According to the color and texture of the tile, choose a paint that matches it. At the same time, ensure that the paint has good hiding power and weather resistance.
Second, the renovation steps
1. Clean the wall: Use tools such as blades and sandpaper to remove dirt, oil stains and old paint from the wall. If necessary, use a high-pressure water jet to rinse the wall.
2. Repair broken tiles: For broken tiles, use tile glue or cement for repair. Make sure the patched area is level with the surrounding tiles.
3. Sanding the wall: Use sandpaper to polish the repair area and the entire wall to make its surface smooth.
4. Clean the wall: use a rag or mop to wipe off the dust generated by sanding.
5. Primer: Apply a layer of primer on the polished wall to enhance the adhesion of the paint to the wall. Wait for the primer to dry completely.
6. Topcoat: After the primer dries thoroughly, apply a topcoat that matches the color of the tile. When painting, pay attention to keep the wall flat and avoid bubbles and wrinkles. If necessary, apply multiple times for better coverage.
7. Protection work: After the paint dries, tear off the protective film, and fix the edge with tape to prevent the paint from staining other items.
III. Precautions
If structural problems are found on the wall, such as water seepage, cracks, etc., they should be repaired in time to ensure that the renovation effect is long-lasting.
1. When using paint and brushing tools, please pay attention to safety and avoid accidental injury.
2. If you need to use multiple brushes, wait for the paint to dry before applying the next one.
3. After the protective film is removed, the wall should be cleaned in time to avoid paint residue.
This method of refurbishment, which does not require chiseling old tiles, not only saves time and effort, but also works very well. We hope that you will pay attention to safety during the renovation process to ensure smooth construction. Of course, for the sake of safety, you can also find professional maintenance personnel to renovate.
