In the process of updating the apartment, you often have to knock down the tile. This finishing coating is most often found in the kitchen, in the bathroom and toilet. Today you will learn how to dismantle old material with minimal time.
Preparatory stage
• Prepare the necessary tools. You need a perforator equipped with a “shoulder blade” nozzle, a hammer and a chisel.
• If the coating is not removed from the floor, spread a thick cardboard on it. He will protect the finishing material from accidental damage.
• Obtaining overalls, since there will be a lot of dust and garbage. Use plastic glasses to protect the eyes from hard fragments.
Tile removal
Work begins from the upper section of the wall and gradually moves to the lower edge. You will have to completely break one of the tiles to gain access to neighboring elements. This is most convenient to do with the hammer with a chisel.
After that, the process of removing tiles from the walls will go faster. The need for the breakdown of each product disappears. Just install the chisel in the gap between the coating and the base at an angle of forty -five degrees, and beat off a slight tapping of the hammer.
Thus, the tile will without problems be separated from the walls, without even breaking into parts. Your task is to gradually cleanse the surface, lowering lower than.
If separate “stubborn” tiles meet on your way, replace the hammer and chisel with a punch. This is a more powerful tool, with the help of which, without much effort, decorative elements tightly seized with the base.
Working with a perforator is recommended in the same way as with manual tools. The nozzle at an angle is installed between the wall and tiles, after which the tool is turned on. Under the action of shock force, the tile is completely or partially crumbling to the floor.
After the entire unnecessary finishing material is removed, you need to carefully evaluate the bare walls again. Perhaps in some places there were a tubercle of dried solution or glue. They must also be removed so that they do not interfere with the subsequent decoration of the room.
Cleaning the premises
At the final stage, you need to collect all the construction garbage in strong plastic bags. Try not to fill the bags of more than half, since the tile is rather heavy material. Making half -empty bags is an order of magnitude easier than filled to capacity.
Also collect all sheets of cardboard in the stack and pull them with a wide tape. In this form, it takes up less space, which facilitates its movement.
The last thing you need to do is thoroughly capture the floor from dust and fine tiles.
