Removing the tile floor can be done easily in the right way

Removing ceramic at floors can be done easily first by removing ceramic grout with cement remover and is a chemical to remove ceramic grout

Ceramic flooring has been very popular used ranging from simple homes to luxury homes and modern. The use of ceramics caused by strong and durable and easy in the installation and maintenance and motifs and colors are very diverse so easy in decorating the room in accordance with the wishes of homeowners.

But there is a time when the ceramic must be replaced with various causes because it is broken or broken, dull so it needs to be replaced in part or even all the existing ceramics in the room.

If the tile floor wants to replace the whole way the easiest way is to stack up new ceramics with old ceramics without the need to dismantle the old ceramics. But if you want to remove the old ceramic it takes a long time and also troublesome.

To remove the ceramics is done by opening the gap or grout it first. The goal is to obtain a space that will makes it easier to remove the ceramic and also the cement attachment that is on the bottom. Thus the existing ceramic beside it will not be damaged and can be used especially if you change only a few because damaged or broken.

This release can be done by carving techniques using small tool chisels and beaten slowly by using a wooden hammer.
Another way is to use a hand grinding machine which is usually also used for ceramic cutting.

If you use a grinding then you have to be careful because the grinding can also affect the existing ceramic beside it causes scratches. Use a grinder faster than you use a chisel.

Nowadays to release the grout there are chemicals or additives to ease the work. This material is a cement remover or a substance that destroys cement. The trick is quite easy by applying the substance to the grout and wait awhile then the cement will be soft so it is easier to carved or in grinding



To remove the ceramic to separate from the layers brought you just use a scrub that stirs the cement. Choose a wide but thin but strong shape.

Insert the scrub on the ceramic part slowly and the layer of cement. The scrub head tips are hammered with wood with care. If the scrub is getting deeper then ceramic will be released by itself. Because the cement and ceramics are firmly attached then the hammer from the wood must be hammered many times.

To facilitate the work should be tiled first floor watered with water. Do the work one by one until all the ceramics you want to remove. If removing ceramics should start from the edge on the wall and especially on the door because the process will be easier if you want to dismantle all the ceramics in the room.

If all the desired ceramics have been released all the next is to clean up the remaining cement layer before using the new cement and also if you want to use a new ceramic. To clean the old cement can be used with a concrete chisel with a larger size hammer for the old cement is destroyed directly.

After the old cement has been removed then the floor is compacted and leveled again. If there is a layer of sand that has been wasted then it must be replaced with a new one. Actually not all the sand on the bottom layer will be lost but that only adhere to the cement and ceramics. If all the work has been done then the installation of new ceramics can be done immediately.

Make a hole with perforating in the ceramic must use the appropriate bore so that the ceramic is not cracked or damaged at maximum speed to make the hole perfectly created.
There are times when we make on a ceramic wall for a particular purpose, while not all walls are covered with a layer of cement or sand dough. There are some parts of the wall using ceramics as a wall and most often encountered is the bathroom wall.

The use of ceramics on the wall has its own beauty compared to if it is covered with cement and also more resistant to water like the bathroom and also in the kitchen so there are times when need to be made holes for various purposes. To make a hole in the ceramic is not as easy as making on the cement wall especially wood walls because ceramics are very hard and make the hole into its own problem.

Because making a hole in the ceramic is somewhat different from the wall made of cement then needed a special way for it to create a hole and do not damage the ceramic.

Making a hole in the ceramic wall has a special way so that the ceramic is not damaged or broken

 The tool commonly used to make a hole in the ceramic wall is a drill machine. Never use nails, because the ceramic is so hard that it is difficult to penetrate the ceramic. As a result the ceramic wall can be damaged so that your ceramic wall is not good to the eye.

To perform a hole in the wall of the ceramic first position the correct hole you want and marked as using a marker.
Then cover the wall that you will hide with something media so that the drill is not slippery so easy when you drill the wall. Even better if you make a special disc to make a drill hole.

The drill bit you prepare is a special one that can penetrates hard objects like a diamond drill bit.
To facilitate drilling of the drill bit should be dipped first into the water. Then drilling can be done for about ten seconds. The goal is that the drill bit is not easy to heat. If needed dip it again into the water.

Drilling should also be done repeatedly because the ceramics are very hard and cannot be done only once with drilling.
The first drilling is only done to make the drill point only. Drilling also cannot be done in a hurry because it can cause cracks in ceramics or rupture. Nevertheless, the rotation on the drilling machine shall be at the maximum or highest rotation.



The pit point that has formed can be moistened with water. The goal is the same as the drill to reduce the heat on the ceramic. If too hot then drill bit will quickly wear out so quickly become blunt and easily broken. In the wet conditions ceramic will be more easily drilled. Besides ceramic dust is also not flying when the drill so it is not sucked in the nose or hit the eyes. However it is best to drill you should use a mask or glasses and gloves.

When you drill a note the drill bit should be perpendicular to the drilled ceramic, do not tilt and press as hard as possible using the hand unless the desired hole is tilted. Keep the drill does not experience a shift for it to be strongly pressed. Otherwise the drill bit will come out and this is very dangerous.

If the hole has been made and penetrates the ceramic it should remove the drill bit and be replaced with a smaller drill bit. This is because after penetrating the ceramic will meets with cement and bricks. If you keep using the same drill bit, it is likely that the holes in the cement wall or brick will have a larger diameter than the hole in the ceramic. So that the hole cannot be used.

Before cutting check the ruler's eye are still sharp or not so the handle must be strong. The ruler's eye should be sharp to leave a deep mark so that the cutting time is completely straight and the size of the size corresponds to the size of the room itself especially on the edges of the wall that the ceramic pieces must be absolutely precise. The handle on the ruler must be strong to avoid irregularities during cutting.

While other simple ways that can be applied to cut the ceramic is to use a special grinding wheel or a round shape.
Cutting using the grille is more practical and fast, but has a greater risk if not done with care because the cut is not straight. This is because there is no handle or barrier that holds the blade. In addition the resulting vibration makes cuts not precise.
