Replacing an old, outdated ceiling can update a room. Ceiling tiles come in a range of styles and can attach to the surface with various types of glue. To complete the remodeling project, you may need to remove glued-up ceiling tiles. Finishing the tile removal process is relatively simple and is the first step to a transformed space.
Instructions
1. Cover the area underneath the ceiling with a plastic sheet. Tile removal is a messy process, so protect furniture and flooring as much as possible.
2. Place a ladder in the corner of the room so you can easily reach the ceiling tiles.
3. Stick the edge of a scraper blade in between the cracks of the glued-up tiles. Push it forward in an attempt to scrape the tile free of the ceiling. If it doesn't move, place the scraper back in the crack and use a hammer to gently pound it underneath so you can pry it free.
4. Continue this process until all the tiles are free of the ceiling, moving the ladder so you can comfortably reach each one.
