tile glue removal

If you want to learn how to remove linoleum because you have decided to remodel your home, it is quite easy to do if you know the right steps which are shown below. However if you are bluntly going at it without any preparation, it could prove to be quite a difficult task.

The most important factors to consider are the age of the linoleum, the type of glue that was used and your level of patience. Don't get alarmed if you won't be able to completely remove it from the get go. Particularly if the material is quite old, you might not be able to easily lift the glue. In some cases it might be actually better to leave it and install the new flooring on top. However this is rather the exception than the rule.

You might have to do the entire removal process in several passes to get rid of all traces of linoleum and glue from your subflooring. And speaking of subflooring, concrete can easily take more abuse than hardwood, so when you are working with a scraper, you might have to use it lightly. Use a scraper that has a very sharp razor blade so it penetrates the glue easily. You can also use a utility knife, however people found that they get better results with the scraper.

How to remove linoleum

The first thing you need to do is cut the linoleum in smaller pieces, as they will be easier to remove than attempting it on a larger surface. Once you have the cut pieces start pealing them back. Go slow and with enough pressure to move the material from the subfloor. This way you will also remove the glue easier.

The more difficult part comes after removing the top layer, as now you need to remove those difficult pieces that are still stubbornly stuck to the concrete or wood. This is where the scraper comes into play. First add some solvent that is used for this, however make sure that it can be easily applied on the wood and it will not destroy it. You can find solvents at the local DIY store. Alternatively you can try using hot water by pouring it straight onto the adhesive backing. Leave it to soak for a while and then try scraping again. If you have a wooden subfloor, go easy on the scraping.

Something that I haven't personally tried but I've heard good things about is using a hair dryer to heat the glue so it comes off easier. Once the adhesive is soft enough it should come off the subfloor quite fast.

Once the linoleum is gone, you will need to lay a new flooring in place. Have you already thought of using vinyl wood flooring? Click the link to learn more about proper vinyl wood flooring installation for your home floors and the benefits that it will give to your home decor.

Asbestos solvent used for removal of asbestos toxic?

I live in an upstairs apartment. However, downstairs 3 apartments contain asbestos tile. So, the professionals come in to remove the asbestos. They used some kind of solvent to glue the asbestos together so that when they remove the asbestos the asbestos fibers wouldn't fly all over the air. I would really want to know what kind of solvent they are using and if the solvent they used are toxic or not because we have been smelling it for a week now. It smelled bitter and smelled like gas too. It makes our food taste bitter. And also, will the asbestos fibers get into the upstairs apartment. Should we be concerned about these things?

For the tile, they basically use something like kerosene to dissolve the glue holding the tile. This allows them to scrape up the tile whole so there is no asbestos release. They really don't worry with asbestos "flying" with tile. Normally, what is sprayed on fibrous asbestos that can get in the air (like on pipes) is a mix of water and dish detergent. What you also might be smelling in the encapsulant they use as a final seal on the project. That material is basically acrylic paint. The only way to know any of this for the specific project is to ask. If they are doing the job properly, all exits for asbestos are sealed and can not get outside the job site. There will be smell, but it should be no worse than painting walls, if they are doing it correct. You may ask the landlord for a review and if needed extra exhaust units for the job site to carry away the smell.
