Step 1: Removing the Trim
Before you start extracting the tile, the first step is to remove all trim and baseboards from around the place. Be concerned with all of the materials that you remove so that they can be quickly reinstalled when you’ve completed removing the tile and have installed your new floor. Additionally, cover any vents in the room so that dust doesn’t get inside them (and from there, the rest of your house).
Step 2: Removing the Tile
Once you’ve got all accessories out of the way, it’s time actually to remove the tile. This method is trickier if you want to preserve the tiles than if you’re replacing them. If you don’t worry about saving the tiles, you can start by smashing them with a hammer.
