Removing Existing Floor Coverings

Removing existing tiles from a concrete floor can be a difficult task.
The best way to accomplish it is to use a jackhammer. Be sure to cover all cupboards and furniture with drop sheets as it is a very messy job.

After removing the tiles, it’s a good idea to use a self leveling compound to ensure you have a level surface to tile onto.

Remember the finished job is only as good as the surface underneath. Removing existing tiles that have been laid onto ceramic tile underlay is a lot easier. Simply lift up the tiles and the underlay all together and lay new underlay for the new tiles.
