I'm about to lay some new floor tiles in the Kitchen. We've (got her

areas where there aren't currently any tiles where I do want to tile.


If these tiles are only 3mm thick or so then the adhesive will take up the
difference, but it's not the ~best~ way to do it.
Go berserk with one of these to remove the things.

Hi Thanks, unfortunately the tiles I'm putting down are the cheapo
self adhesive type (seems pretty much all you can get easily now).
These are critical in terms of levelness of the sub floor.

My experience with them is they produce a nice quick good quality
floor so long as what they are going down on is sound and level and
free from any bobbly bits. Any thing else and you have problems
