Removing old thin-set from subfloor

Murray Verbonitz
6 år sedan

I used a chipping hammer to remove tile. It worked great. However, there is significant thin-set still stuck on the wood subfloor. Far too much and stuck too hard to remove by hand (500 sw ft). People have mentioned a walk-behind concrete grinder. Would that work? I’m afraid they thought it was on slab concrete and not a wood-subfloor. Thoughts?

    If you don't have underlayment under the tile, we use Demo hammer with a scraper blade, you can rent that at most rental places.

    This will remove grout fairly quickly. If you going with another tile afterward, use Ditra as your sub-base for the tile.

    Good luck

      Yeah, as Sophie states, plywood will get wrecked and is too inexpensive to spend weeks attempting to clean it properly.

      Don't waste time with scraping/chisels/flat bars. Best and easiest way is to use diamond cup wheel + dust shroud + angle grinder. Clean, easy, fast

      Home Depot rents a tool specifically made for this. It’s like a big rotary sander with diamond tipped grinding plates.
