How to remove tile cement after you remove floor tiles? i have just removed a set of floor tiles that be cracked,...
i have just removed a set of floor tiles that be cracked, but the tile cement under the tile is not easy to remove. Does anyone enjoy any suggestions as to how to do this. i need to remove the cement so that i can cement in the latest tiles. if i leave the old cement contained by the new tiles will be un-even.
you need to get as much rotten as you can. If the old tiles were put down on plywwod remains you can rip that up and put new base down. If they be cemented to the floorboards it will be a case of using a dutiful thick chisle and hammer and getting it up agonizingly slowly.
If you don't then you will never get a flat floor.
use a side bolster jack hammer to knock off the cement if its on a solid floor.
if it be laid over wood or on plywood then it can be just lift off from one corner and broken up as you remove it.
if its solid floor best to get a professional contained by otherwise you'll end up with a floor full of holes that will necessitate levelling before you re-do tiles.
other resort is to level the floor over the tile cement then start again but slightly highly developed!
Answers: The link shows what I use surrounded by concrete repair.It fits my 4 1/2" grinder and is very effective.However if it's a smaller nouns cheaper wheels are available.Then there's the hammer and chisel.They enjoy masonry chisels in different widths.Just be patient and use supervision.
Good Luck
Hammer and chisel (cold chisel for masonry work) although tile sticky stuff shouldnt actually be that hard to remove BASH IT!!
