What happens here

The ceramic tile portion of the flooring is addressed next. The team employs a robust floor scraper, often used with a hammer or as part of a powered floor stripper, to break the adhesive bond and lift the tiles. In this case, the tiles were adhered using mastic, which is not ideal for floor applications and made their removal relatively easy, often coming up in large, clean pieces. This step requires careful work to minimize damage to the concrete subfloor underneath.

Goal: Remove ceramic tiles using a floor scraper and hammer, leveraging the tiles' weak adhesion to mastic for relatively easy removal.

hey just a heads up tiles shouldn't pop off like just easily like that i mean look that's just clean as i can get um word on the street is that you're not supposed to use like a mastic on the floor typically it's like for backsplash uh because with moisture this will kind of dissolve so thinsets what you want to use but if you are taking big tiles off sometimes you can just pry it off a little bit and a full chunk will come off but not as clean as this [Music] [Applause] [Music]
