We did paint the tiles IN our shower a number of years ago when we rented an apartment (and didn't have a choice in the colour selection and repair descrepancies).
We cleaned the surface really well (TSP) and lightly sanded and used as recommended above a "marine" paint.
We were in that apartment for seven years with no peeling whatsoever. Naturally you no longer have grout lines etc, and you have to be more careful cleaning but it did work for us.
:)

Yes it is possible to paint tiles in a shower, my last apartement had painted tiles that the previous tennant had painted 2 years before I had moved in and I stayed there for five years and they were just starting to peel when I left she had used an oil based paint.

I want to do the same thing and make several calls to paint shops. I was told by all that if I used a marine enamel paint, this would do the trick. As it's used to paint boat hulls, it should stand up to daily showers. I haven't tried it yet but I will be this winter. They said just to make sure the tiles are extremely clean and dry first, and it should give a great shine and stick well. Good luck.

Inside your shower, painting tiles is not recommended for a long-lasting finish. Outside of the shower area, tile painting is rather simple-- use a high adhesive primer and a good quality kitchen and bath paint and you are set. Unfortunately, inside the shower is just too hard on this type of finish on tiles.

Hi: I have seen where they paint tiles or counter tops but I think this is a temporary thing and won't last very long and in a year or so you may have a bigger problem...I saw a show about flipping houses where the tile was pink and grey, they had someone come in and refinish the tiles and tub in white (reglazed) where they clean with heavy duty chemicals, sand and then spray all the tiles, it looked very good (like new) this may be another option worth pursuing, my sister in law had her tub reglazed for $400...so perhaps the tiles can be done for about the same?

You are able to order a pleated or cellular shade with this feature. It would be ordered with the top down feature only. I you were wanting to order and also have it lift with from the bottom then it would be ordered with a top down bottom up feature. The Home Depot carries a variety of brands that offer this type of shade.

home depot in edmonton has these

I have seen them some time ago home depot in Edmonton had them.

You have to think outside of the BOX. Use a skylight feature for your blind and you can mount it in a standard frame from the bottom up. Check out the Hampton Bay company at your local Home Depot.

Sorry, I have been in the business for 7 years and have never heard of anything exactly as you describe. You should however check out what is called top-down-bottom-up shades. They mount on the top of the window but can be lowered from the top down so that only a portion of the view is blocked at the bottom of the window. Most Home Depot stores have one of these on display for you to view. Have fun!

Have a look at your local store, and ask for Bali diffusion. They are 100% acrylic, offering awesome light control and will not be affected by moisture!

you can but envirotech home product and spray it onto your glass and it will protect it for a good year or more.This will protect your glass and the water will bead off this glass with this product.When needed again just spray on and wipe and you will be good for another year:))
I love this stuff

Have you considered putting in a vinyl shutter? It would fit inside the window frame, still allow for air to circulate (you could even have the window open and be in the shower and have privacy!) Shutters look nice in most rooms, regardless of the style, too! Good luck!

My wife and I have the same problem with our washroom upstairs. Seems years ago, the shower curtains came with a set of window coverings? My wife now makes up a couple of sets from a single shower curtain, using a lite-curtain rod over the window casing and two cup hooks for tie-backs; when the shower is not in use. A hobby glue gun works great for the fold over the curtain rod. Hope this Helps?

Yes, it would be a good idea so that the heat generated is not lost up the chimney. The other reason would be that when the fireplace is not in use the heat from the house will go up the chimney. The ventilation of the home may be compromised as well.

you can do either close it or keep it open if you do you have to have a cap on your chimmney

Hi, babydog.

If you have appliances (i.e. furnace, hot water heater) that vent out the chimney DO NOT close it off. This will keep the combustion products (Carbon Monoxide) from leaving the house and will backdraft into the home.

Yup! As the chimney is primerilly used to create an updraft, drawing air up from the logs in the fireplace and eliminating the smoke from the burning process. If the chimney is left open with an insert the smoke is replaced by the heat that you want in the room, not up the chimney.

first thing that you want to do is scrape the edge, creating the smoothest surface possible. then you want to prime with an oil-based paint to create a surface for the drywall mud to adhere to. then fill the patches with a drywall filler. sand, prime and apply your topcoat

I've stripped bubbled paint off and had the same thing happen. I used drywall compound to smooth out the surface. More work, especially the sanding, but probably the best way to go.
They now have low-dust compound that should make clean-up a little easier. Before each layer completely dries, take your applicator and use it to scrape off the large ridges that always form. Saves sanding. Hope this helps.

Apply a thin coat of dry wall compound, sand smooth, then prime.

I just did the exact same thing, and I am just putting a very thin layer of drywall compound over the entire wall. I figure it is faster and cheaper than putting all new drywall up. Hope this helps.

the product is called "stone effects" comes in 7 to 8 diffrent colors and it's three step process it is made for counter tops as well with nice smotth shiny coat , it will take a bout a day or 2 to finish but ur good to go after wards.

Yes they do it is made by rustoleum. It used to be called EZ stone they changed the name but it is still made by rustoleum. 2 coats of primer 2 coats of stone with a pool trowel and a epoxy finish made for counters

Incorrect, we do carry the product, called "Stoneffects". We do carry a counter top finish, and it is available in 6 colours. There are several uses for this finish, whether it is outside on the deck, a decorative stone walkway, or your counter top in your kitchen or bathroom. It is a 3 step process, Prime, stone coat, then finish. The counter top finish replaces the regular stone coat sealer that you would use for outdoors. The primer we also offer can be tinted in a variety of colours to match the stone coat line, giving yourself the possibility of a tiled finish! Ask you local home depot paint associate for details!

It is best to use a wallpaper stripper like Zinsser DIF or Dynamic CHOMP. These products were specifically made for removing wallpaper glue. Nevertheless any technique you use will never completely remove the glue left behind by wallpaper, so it is always recommended that you primer with a premium primer before you paint.
Hope that helps!

Home Depot Store sells the Zep Orange Cleaner and it will remove the glue real easy and the price of this cleaner is good too.

Warm water work areas 4 to 8 feet at a time srape with a 5 inch puddy knife while wet, Wipe the excess glue onto a rag..after all glue is removed wipe down the surface with a clean wet rag. sand walls after first coat of paint to make surface smooth.

You can now see a variety of paints on our paint section of the site. We do not ship paint at the present time. Pattie is correct that it is a difficult thing to ship.

Shipping paint is not the easiest process, since it will freeze easily and the paint will be ruined. Plus, paint does not take long to mix at a home depot paint desk, especially if you already know the colour, lustre, and amount that you need. You can browse the different types of paint online, but picking a colour is best done using the chips provided by the suppliers, since chip colours can 'vary' if you print them out on your printer at home or display them on your screen. There are also a lot of questions a paint associate should ask you if you are unfamiliar with your project, and this will save new painters a lot of hassle if they talk one on one with an experienced paint associate.

If you are thinking of a dark colour, get a tinted alkyd primer first, then top coat with an acrylic paint. Ceiling paints will generally come in white, therefore, most don't have the starting bases for a darker colour. (The difference between ceiling paint and wall paint, is that ceiling paint is cheaper, but not scrubbable. A wall paint has more ingredients to increase it's scrubbability, and therefore cost more per gallon). In this case, use a wall paint tinted to the correct colour. Remember, a darker colour will require more coats than a lighter one, since the darker colours use a more transparent base, rather than a white base. That is why the tinted primer will help. Spraying is the best application on an unsealed textured ceiling, but a split foam roller, generally with a 15mm-19mm nap will work as well. Some texture is destined to come down, but the split foam roller will lessen the amount. Try to roll in one direction only while applying over your stipple, since backrolling tends to pick up more 'popcorn'.

If your ceiling has been painted before, use a latex flat tinted to whatever colour you wish. If your ceiling has never been painting before, you'll have to use a alkyd primer or alkyd self-priming paint to seal the stucco. If you use a latex on unpainted stucco, your stucco could become soggy, loose it's adhesion and fall. Also, I'd suggest using a split foam roller for applying any paint to a textured surface.

Klenks is a great way to do this - except Home Depot in Nanaimo no longer carries it

For a bathtub, yes, Klenks will work -- but only if its metal. Tiles can be painted as well, outside of the shower or tub area, as long as you prime and paint. The primer must be a high adhesive primer, as in Behr Interior Primer and Undercoater. The top coat, if on the floor, should be a Porch and Floor Paint. If the top coat is for on the wall, make it a good quality kitchen and bath paint.
