This equipment mechanically removes adhesives, coatings, or other materials from hard surfaces like ceramic, porcelain, or stone. The process typically involves rotating blades or abrasive pads that effectively lift the unwanted layers without damaging the underlying tile. Different models exist, ranging from handheld units suitable for small areas to larger, ride-on machines designed for commercial spaces.
Efficient surface preparation is crucial for successful tile replacement or refinishing. This type of equipment significantly reduces the time and labor required compared to manual methods, leading to increased productivity and cost savings. Historically, removal often involved harsh chemicals and laborious scraping, presenting health and environmental concerns. Mechanized options offer a safer and more efficient alternative, minimizing disruption and improving overall project timelines.
