About Ceramic Tile Refinishing

Article Category: Home Management

Author Name: Steve Roberts

Ceramic tiles are a common fixture in the kitchen, the bathroom, and the floors of every other room in the house. However, they are also tough to clean due to the tile grout. The grout itself is porous , which means water and moisture can easily seep through it. Moist surfaces are a good breeding ground for mold and mildew, which are not just disgusting to the eye, but also carry significant health risks.

Besides the concern of mold and mildew, owners of ceramic tiled surfaces are also boggled by the simple blandness of these surfaces. Tiles that were installed long ago look old compared to the newer and more sophisticated tiles of today. There is also the question of their continued longevity.

For those two main concerns, there is a cost-effective solution that restores the glory of or brings new life to all ceramic tiled surfaces, and that is called ceramic tile refinishing.

Ceramic tile refinishing simply involves putting on a new layer made of decorative chips. Those chips are more than just mere coatings of paint. They are special coatings that are built with withstand any kind of abuse that is expected of anything that is usually done in a kitchen such as heat, cuts from knives, and blunt pressure. Essentially, it is the same as the resurfacing of kitchen countertops, since the base material is mostly left alone in the process.

It is important to remember that tile refinishing is entirely different from tile re-glazing. In tile re-glazing, the tiles themselves are reheated to very hot temperatures reaching 2,500 degrees Fahrenheit. Some companies specializing in refinishing can mistakenly refer to their services as tile re-glazing when there is actually no heat involved.

Like countertop resurfacing, the refinishing of tiles can be done without the help of professional refinishers . An individual doing the refinishing all by himself will need to be aware of the time to be invested just to remove all the dirt, grime, and other unwanted things from the tiles alone. If there is even a single speck of dirt remaining, the adhesive will not stick to the base tiles properly. There is also the risk of sniffing dust from the sanding process that comes first before the application of the new surface. Use dust masks as a precautionary measure. Finally, the epoxy paint to be used in refinishing must be made to last. Industrial-grade epoxy paints and coatings are waterproof and can withstand the force from constant foot movements as well as other applications of force. The time factor is also involved. The primer needs to be left dry for 24 hours, while the final surfaces need to wait for a maximum of 48 hours before they can be fully used.

Ceramic tile refinishing is an affordable alternative to replacing the entire tiles themselves. By giving the tiles new protective coatings, their lifespan will be greatly increased.
