How to Fix Acid Proof Tiles on Concrete
How to Fix Acid Proof Tiles on Concrete
The world around us is filled with many marvellous things, including both natural and man-made. But when we talk about the wondrous things that are created by our fellow humans, we often don’t appreciate the durability of concrete & just how resilient acid resistant tiles are. They are our silent heroes — especially in environments where harsh chemicals and corrosive substances are the norm.
But just all things man-made, things often need fixing and it is especially true in the case of degraded acid proof tiles. Now the question is how to do that?
Well, do not worry, as we will walk you through a step-by-step process to fix these. So, without any further ado, let’s get started. But first —
Before we talk about fixing these amazing acid proof flooring products, let’s understand them first. As evident by their names, these are special items, created especially to fulfil one specific objective. What unique task you might ask? To resistant corrosive substances & harsh environmental conditions, of course.
It is their ability to withstand chemical damage — and protect the underlying concrete — that makes them so special. And by doing so, they extend the lifespan of the entire structure.
Now it is time to pivot to the topic of this post, which is just how to fix these tiles. Well, let’s get onto it, shall we?
If you want to get the job done well, you need to prepare for it first. A simple thing to do, but it is the key to successful work. Now how to do that?
First, you need to inspect the concrete surface. Why? To identify if there are any cracks, loose debris, or remnants of old adhesive. And you can do this simply with a very special tool - a cleaning brush (yeah, that’s it).
Then you need to find every item you would need for the job. Your list would include items such as safety gears, concrete cleaner, primer, suitable tile adhesive and more. Once you have gathered it all, only then can you start working on fixing.
A no-brainer. If you want an effective result, a clean surface is the need of the hour. Remove any sort of residue that might be present on the surface before you even think about going one more step forward.
Naturally, if you are anyway familiar with the process, then it is time for the primer. Just spread a thin, even layer over — that’s all.
Are you someone who just loves to draw? Ah, then you will love this. Time to use chalk (like your childhood days) and mark where you will place the tiles.
Time to disperse the adhesive into the target area. Be mindful that your powerful glue does not get dry too quickly — that would be bad for your intended goal.
Our penultimate step is the placement of the tiles. You only need to gently press each tile while following the chalk guidelines you set. Make sure you check the levels once in a while & apply consistent pressure throughout the process.
Finally, let the solution settle down — that’s all you need to do. Make sure that the tile is not disturbed.
