Tile Paint

Selecting the Right Paint Colour

The Material of your Tile

Different types of tiles, such as ceramic, porcelain, or natural stone, may react differently to paint, so test samples on a small area before committing to a colour. Make sure that the paint you choose is suitable for the material of your tiles to achieve a durable and long-lasting finish.

Your Room Decor

Coordinate the tile paint colour with your existing decor. Consider the colours of your walls, cabinets, and fixtures and choose a colour to complement them. If you want to create a bold statement, consider selecting a contrasting colour that will stand out against your other elements.

Maintenance

Lighter colours tend to show dirt and stains more easily, while darker colours might require more frequent cleaning to avoid showing water spots or soap marks. Choose a colour that suits your lifestyle and preferences.

The Room’s Atmosphere

Think about the mood you want to create in the room. Lighter colours, like whites and pastels, can make a space feel larger and brighter, while darker shades, such as navy or charcoal, add depth and warmth. Choose a colour that complements the atmosphere you’re aiming for.

FAQs

Can you paint directly onto tiles?

It’s important to first properly prepare your tiles before applying paint. Clean the tiles thoroughly, remove any grease and dirt, and ensure the surface is dry before painting.

Does tile paint peel off?

If you choose paint specifically designed for tiles and apply it correctly, you don't have to worry about it peeling off. Tile paint is made to adhere well and be durable. Proper surface preparation, including cleaning and priming, also helps prevent peeling. For a long-lasting finish, make sure to use high-quality tile paint and follow application instructions.

Do you need to sand the tiles before painting?

Sanding the tiles to rough them up a bit helps the paint adhere better. After sanding, make sure to clean the tiles thoroughly to remove any dust or debris before applying the paint.

Is it best to paint tiles with a brush or roller?

Both brushes and rollers can be used to paint tiles. It depends on the size of the area you want to paint and how detailed you want it. A roller is ideal for large, flat surfaces, providing even coverage and a smooth finish. A brush is better for edges and areas where precision is needed. You can use both tools to achieve the best results.
