Not all tiles are created equal and the differences can determine if your ceramic tiles will hold up to the use you are putting them. For example low fire tiles or tiles that have only been through a bisque firing are generally less expensive but not nearly as durable as high fired tiles. Even if the tile has been glazed it may still have only gone through one firing and very possibly only a low firing so the fact of it being glossy and colorful is no indication that the tile has the durability of a high-fired tile. Greenware - ceramics that has dried but not been fired can be glazed with a low fire glaze and fired to a comparatively low temperature.
If the current tile floor is set over a mortar bed the easiest way to remove them would be to use a large flat-bladed chisel and just hammer away. Be sure to keep yourself protected. 2) Try to get an estimate of the project by taking down the length and width of the floor area that you will be tiling. When you go window-shopping make sure to bring your measurements and discuss it with your hardware or home center specialists. Those measurements will help you a lot in estimating how much ceramic floor tiles you need to buy. It will also help you estimate how much cement and grout and the tools youll need for your ceramic tile installation.
