The ceiling of your house is a very
important aspect of the interior decor of your house. The ceiling can do
wonders to the house’s look and appearance if done properly. Ceiling tiles are
now used quite popularly for designing the ceiling of rooms or even the entire
house. But these ceiling tiles require maintenance time to time to ensure that
the original color stays intact and the tiles look clean. Painting the ceiling
tiles is not difficult and you can do it to ensure that the original color is
maintained or if you wish to change the color as mentioned before. But it is
important to keep in mind that ceiling tiles are quite fragile and extreme care
needs to be taken while dealing with them.
But before you get all ready to paint your ceiling tiles, you
need to prepare the following items namely, latex primer, paint, paint tray, foam roller, bleach, spray
bottle, water, rags, and newspaper. A major hurdle and your primary goal will
be to make the paint stick to the surface. Tiles, like glass have a smooth
surface and since no paint comes with a formulation to stick to smooth
surfaces, you will have to use a solution call bonding primer which is thicker
than paint and helps the paint to stick to the surface. You will be required to
apply the primer before the paint.
Now before painting the tiles clean the tiles with soap and
warm water and then rinse. The next step will be to prepare a mild bleach
solution using bleach and water and spray this on the tiles and clean the
solution from the surface of the tile with rags. Now since the dirt has been
totally removed you can start painting, remember to move the brush in one
direction. It will be better to use paint sprays for better texture and
smoothness.
