Hi,
When I previously removed cork tiles from a bathroom floor, I just used a scraper to rip them all off - hard work, and took ages (and I broke 2 scapers). I've now got to do the kitchen - if anyone can suggest an easy or easier way of removing cork tiles I'd be VERY greatful.
Cheers,
Jon

not that i know of. use a stiff wide scraper.
a heat gun is good to use if removing the adhesive.
