In some places on the floor, poorly glued tiles can come across, which bay. If you do not re-glue it in time, then over time it will crack. The problem is that even if she does, it is still very difficult to tear her off. But there is a method that allows you to dismantle the tile without damage.
What will be required:
- Tile scraper;
- gas-burner;
- rubber mallet;
- hard spatula.
The process of dismantling tiles
First of all, we determine the tiles that are baying.
Then, with a tile scraper, we clean the seams around them from the fugue and glue. As a result, nothing should hold the tile from the sides.
Next, we take a gas burner, and evenly heat the problem tile over the entire area. As a result of heating, it will begin to expand, but since its linear expansion is different with tile adhesive, it should move away.
While the tile is hot, gently beat it with a rubber mallet. As a result, the glue will finally go away. Now it remains to pry the tile with a wide spatula. In some places, it will still hold on a little, so you can gently tap the spatula with a mallet.
After dismantling, the soot on the glaze of the tile is easily erased.
Then you need to clean the remaining glue on its reverse side, and on the very base. Only after that we apply fresh glue evenly under the comb trowel, and lay the tiles again.
