I have a wall that is floor to ceiling covered in those awful looking glass tiles. They are each about 12" square tiles. About 60 total.

I smashed apart one of them and tried getting it off with a chisel, but that just made a huge mess of glass, not a good idea!

I read somewhere to put contact paper/tape on it then smash it up, but I'm not sure if that will work either, as the tiles aren't attached with adhesive, but are attached covered in glue, so much of the tile is adhered to the wall.

Any ideas on how to get these things off?

Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan,
I have a similar project in mind, although my tiles are covered with wallpaper. I was wondering if you would share your results and ideas with me. I am presuming you have completed your project, unless you're like me. I have been comtemplating this project for 5 years. Thank you.
