White Tile Flooring

Lucy Nunn on Jan 28, 2015I wouldn't think so....are you avoiding the tile removal process? Or wanting to save the money for wood? There are BE-A-YOUtiful wood looking tiles that are a cinch to lay, and are super durable. I sound like a commercial, but I saw them in a hotel in Key West and went home and put them in a bathroom. I'm sorry I didn't do my kitchen the same way. Next time!Helpful Reply

Christina on Feb 01, 2015Amy, all due respect to Lucy, your tiles will not take a stain because they are glazed rather than the type the article is about. You can not stain over them. I have made tiles and work in clay-the material tiles are made of. They have products you can paint over the grout to change the color. And you can scrub them with just about any cleaning product as long as it isn't too abrasive. Bon Ami is non-abrasive and cleans all kinds of stuff off if you make it into a paste and let it sit a while. You may even be able to scuff them up enough some sort of sandpaper to apply a floor paint. However, it probably wouldn't hold up to heavy use for long. I would look into going over the top of the tiles with a thin floor covering if the tiles are in very good shape-no cracks and perfectly flat.Helpful Reply

Lucy Nunn on Feb 02, 2015I was only giving the article. I would agree with you both. The person who wrote the article disagrees. Just saying. I painted wall tiles before but that's a different ballgame.Helpful Reply

Dia Russell on Feb 12, 2015I just painted my ceramic tile floors. It's not wood-like, but a solid color...it's not bad. Prime (good bonding primer), paint 2-3 coats, and polyurethane several coats. Just did it so can't speak to how well it holds up, but I sure do like it a lot better than what it looked like before. We will eventually remove and replace, just don't have the $$ saved up yet! Good luck!Helpful Reply
