REMOVING RUBBER TILES FROM A WODDEN SUBFLOOR

[BryanC]

Does anyone know a quick/easy way to remove rubber tiles from a plywood sub-floor. I laid Dalsouple tiles (2ft square) a few years ago, but they are looking tired. I have tried to lift one and it is nearly impossible!! Plus it took the top layer of ply with it.

Any suggestions would be welcome!!

lol there is no quick and easy way to lift your tiles! haha pure solid elbow grease, or just re-ply over them! actually, you said it was originally plyed, then lift that ply, then re-ply with new ply. But your old ply will be ruined, if you try to take just the tiles off.

Just thought, when we lift amtico/karndean tiles, we heat them up first, makes it a bit easier. Not sure if it will work with your tiles, but you could give it a go with the wife hairdryer! long shot!

Thanks for the advice! Will give heating them up a try.
