The editor will teach you today-things about ceramic tile renovation.
Old housestilesrenovationMainlydivided into two situations ：
One is to remove the original floor tiles, and the other is to lay new floor tiles directly on the surface of the old floor tiles.

Eradicate old bricks
If the old ceramic tiles are partially damaged, hollowed or peeled off, or the surface glaze is worn, it is very difficult to repair the ceramic tiles in these cases, and it is difficult to retrieve the ceramic tiles after they have been used for many years. In the past, it was almost impossible to find tiles with the same color, model and style. Therefore, we need to remove the old bricks and lay new ones.
Lay new floor tiles directly

Users with some renovation materials can lay new ceramic tiles directly on existing ceramic tiles, which is very economical. time and effort. However, if the tiles are damaged, the old tiles need to be removed and new tiles laid.
Keep the old floor tiles
You don’t need to replace the floor tiles when they are basically intact, but you must remove all the joints of the floor tiles and redo them in the later stages of decoration. The reason why it is recommended to re-groove is because there will be a lot of bacteria and dirt in the cracks of floor tiles that have been used for a long time. Re-grouting, on the one hand, removes potential garbage, and on the other hand, it can make the tiles more beautiful.
Putting wooden flooring over old tiles
Before construction, the original floor tiles must be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected before laying the floor. Otherwise, the floor will become a breeding ground for bacteria and microorganisms, which will be detrimental to future living health. But in real life, few people will lay wooden boards on old floor tiles.
