When it comes to professional floor removal, San Antonio residents should know that all types of flooring can be changed and removed, but some are more difficult than others. As a homeowner, a person may find it interesting to know which types of flooring end up being more work or cause more work for professionals.
Removing Old Tile Flooring
When a professional who removes and installs tile flooring is asked what is the most difficult material to work with in floor removal, San Antonio residents should know that tile flooring can often be a material that gets mentioned.
Removing tile flooring is not something that would be considered difficult in the grand scheme of things, but it can be a lengthy process that involves many hours of work until it is completed. The time-consuming aspect of tile flooring comes from the fact that professionals have to physically break up all the tiles and clean up the subfloor before any type of new flooring can be placed.
Flooring tiles can be made from many different materials, but all of which will need to be broken up and removed before any new flooring can be laid down. This process can create dangerous by-products such as dust and shards that can be harmful to individuals, so it is important that professionals are wearing the necessary safety equipment.
Removing Old Carpet Flooring
Carpet flooring is another popular flooring material that has a lengthy removal and installation process for professionals performing floor removal. San Antonio residents should know that when compared to tile flooring, carpet flooring has a lot more parts that need to be removed from the sub flooring before new flooring can be placed down.
In order for carpet flooring to be laid down and stay in position inside a home, professionals need to install tack strips to hold them in place. Keep in mind that some sort of sub flooring material needs to be placed before the carpet material and the concrete underneath.
