How To Remove Wall Tiles – 5 Steps For Removing Tiles Wall
- Remove the accessories from the tile wall. There should be other things on the wall, such as the shelves for hanging towels, the shelves for putting kitchen utensils and so on. First of all, carefully remove these items, restore a smooth wall surface, so as to carry out the demolition work.
- Start from the bottom of the wall. When disassembling, the first tile on the bottom of the wall should be removed first. If you remove the tile directly from the top, half of it will block the tile below, making the tile below difficult to dismantle.
- Knock the tiles loose. When all the preparatory work has been done, start work. First, knock the bottom tile with the pendant, and loosen the tile. After sending, use the gloved hand to take down the tiles. Be careful not to scratch the tiles.
- Pay attention to all kinds of pipes in the wall. Some places in the wall will go through some pipes, including gas pipes, electric lines, water pipes, network lines, etc. Pay attention to these pipes, do not damage the pipes inside the wall, or remove the tiles and cause new problems to be solved.
- Clean the site while knocking on the tiles. It is inconvenient to continue to work when the removed wall tiles are piled on the ground. At this time, the cart mentioned above will come into use. Remove the tiles with the cart, clean the site, and then continue to remove until the whole wall is completely disassembled.
