Replacing old tile flooring is one of the most common types of home improvements that people do. Yet before anyone can see their home with new tile flooring, it is important that a professional performs tile removal. Aripeka residents might not be aware of why a tile company has to remove the tiles in the first place in order to place new ones. Usually any kind of flooring that a business or contractor would lay has to be resurfaced once an old layer of tile has been removed. Tile removal can be a very messy process if the person breaking it up is not careful.
New Tile Cannot go Over Old Tiles
A lot of people think that laying tile is a lot like painting a house. In order to change the color of a home, you can simply paint over it as if the old color wasn’t there. Unfortunately, this is not exactly the way it works with tile removal. Aripeka residents might not be aware that dirt, dust, pieces of tiles, cement and other particles can affect new tile flooring if it is not swept up and cleaned up. It could cause tiles not to line up right, or it may cause bulges and other elevated tiles that should be flat.
Old Tile Does Not Come Right Off
It is not uncommon for people who do not know much about laying flooring to this that the removal process is something that is easy. Most of the time when a professional company is performing tile removal, Aripeka tile professionals are more than likely going to destroy the old tile by breaking it up into smaller pieces that can be swept up and thrown away. Tile is laid and cemented to the ground, so it is not going to come up as easily as you might think.
