Can you put gloss tiles on bathroom floor.

When you want heavy duty shine on your bathroom tiles you can employ a trick of the housekeeping trade. And if you re paying for a professional tiler pulling up tiles very quickly adds to your labour costs. To finish your ceramic tiles with gloss paint here is what you should do. In fact on my gloss tiles there is an almost unnoticeable anti slip rubber like texture on them.

Topical glossy sealers were never designed to be applied to ceramic tiles. If your old tiles are loose drummy lifting too uneven or badly damaged they are better off removed. While tiling on tile is a great solution for outdated tiles it s no solution for an existing tile job with issues. A particularly good spot for laying porcelain or ceramic matt tiles are entryways.

If there is water on the floor this can impact on the slipperiness of the tile regardless of the finish. Matt glaze will conceal dirt and grime laid down by passing traffic. Ask at your tile retailer for samples of each. Spray furniture polish or lemon oil over the surface and buff using a soft microfiber cloth.

But no you don t have to match the finishes on floors and walls. The reason they gave me is that floor tiles regardless of gloss or matte are specifically made to 1 not be slippery 2 not be too reflective although gloss will definitely reflect more than matte. Not necessarily regardless of whether you are elderly or infirm the chances of slipping on shiny floor tiles are similar to that of matt tiles. Glossy topical sealers are best applied to porous stone tiles where the sealer can bond firmly with the porous stone tiles.

Please note that matt surfaces and even non slip tiles do not carry a slip proof guarantee. The passage of time can take its toll on the gloss paint on your ceramic tile counters leaving you with dull discolored surfaces. Start at the farthest corner of the room. Pour a high gloss tile sealer into a paint tray.

Unless your tile has a non slip surface somehow whilst retaining the gloss look a good tile store should never reccommend that you place high gloss tiles on a floor on a wall for sure definitely. Not sure where this puts you if you have already bought the tiles but it could create a dangerous environment. Never ever use a gloss tile for flooring in a wet room or bathroom. Since it is costly to replace the tiles on your countertop you should consider repainting your tiles instead of replacing them.
