How Do You Change The Color Of Grout Tile Floors?
Tiled floors can be included in a remodel without the need for replacing the tile. A simple color change can be made with paint and primer. Changing the color of tiled floors that contain grout includes a decision about what color the grout should be. Ultimately, using paint to make color changes is a temporary remodeling fix for tile and grout. Wear and tear will eventually take its toll on the painted tile and require tile replacement for a more permanent solution. Choose how the grout will be treated: painted the same color as the tile, taped over to protect the original grout color from being painted or taped over to protect the grout so that it can be easily stained at a different point in time. Grout stains should be applied before painting the tile and allowed to dry thoroughly, several days, before tile is painted. Clean the floor surface to remove products that can prevent paint and primer from adhering correctly—dirt, wax and oil. Allow the floor to dry for two days. Roughe
