if it is glazed ceramic tile - let it dry fully (I let mine dry for a few weeks) then CAREFULLY pop the glue off with a chisel. Hold the chisel so the flat end is up and the beveled end is on the tile and gently push the tip of the chisel into the (expanded) gorilla glue. hit the end of the chisel with the palm of your hand and the glue will pop off the ceramic.
All ceramic tiles are made of clay. From what I know, usually the tile manufacturers have machines that cost up to 1 million dollars
it could be a number of things, premixed thinset, to much flex in the substrate, mixed thinset too thin, didnt seal grout "if in shower" where is the tile installed, what did you use to install it and how did you install it?
Remove the old ceramic tile starting at one of the edges. The best place to begin is where the old ceramic tile butts up against a different type of flooring, such as a carpet or wood floor. Chip away at the grout surrounding the old ceramic tile, using a metal putty knife and hammer. Set the putty knife on the grout and hit the top of the putty knife with the hammer. Work your way around the first tile pegged for removal.2 Slip the blade of the putty knife under the ceramic tile after loosening the grout. Apply pressure to the handle of the putty knife and pop out the old ceramic tile.3 Chip the grout away from the tiles and pop the tiles out, using the putty knife, until you have removed all of the old tiles.4 Vacuum the area with a wet/dry vacuum to remove any residue.
You shouldn't wax ceramic tile because wax can create a slippery surface, which increases the risk of accidents. Additionally, wax can build up on the tile, making it difficult to clean and maintain. Instead, it's best to clean ceramic tile with a mild detergent and water.
Yes you can if you first rough up the ceramic by sanding it. Use a vinyl mastic like Mapei Unibond.
Not sure how exact you neeed to be, but the thickness & the density would be unknowns from your question & they will both impact the answer. A 6X6 wall tile will be less than floor tile & thick tile likely more than thinner. But if you use 8-10 ounces per 6X6 floor tile you will be very close. Add thinset & grout & still more variables crop up. That is if it is really ceramic, travertine, porcelain or Saltillo would all be different too.
tear it up and lay tile :P
you have to pull the linoleum up to lay tile. . .i would suggest a cement backer board over the existing plywood also
the Glaze on Ceramic tile is mostly Glass, but Glass is presumably ALL glass. They should both be HIGHLY resistant to Calcium deposits and very robust in their ability to stand up to cleaning Glass may have the slight edge due to its smoother finish over Tile Glaze Neither tile, especially the glass ones should be cleaned with glass beads.
Improper installation. You must install cement board over the sub floor before you tile. If the tile was glued to plywood which is not waterproof, the plywood will absorb moisture which will cause the grout to crack and deteriorate
Yes, ceramic tile can stain if spills are not promptly cleaned up. Stains can occur from substances like food, drinks, or oils penetrating the porous surface of the tile. Regular cleaning and proper sealing of grout can help prevent staining.
