Removing old cork floor tiles?

shanni

Laid on top of quarry tiles in the 70's no doubt! Does anyone know if there is any product available that helps lift the tiles, they seem to be stuck forever, the glue is almost impossible to remove?

thanks for any tips

I had cork tiles laid throughout a whole house. Stuckdown with super-sticky-sticky stuff, had to use a scraper on my hands & kness. Much grumpyness & wishing I'd never started! :eek: I managed to do one room before I gave up & carpet went down over the rest.
I guess you want the quarry tiles? If not you could lay tiles or other flooring over the cork.
Good luck!

Try a steam cleaner to soften glue if won't prise off easily, also have a look here:
