Is there anyway of lifting ceramic tiles without cracking them?. I have 35sqm various sizes from 12by12 to 18 by12. It is in conservatory that has no heating and I wish to install underfloor heating. I do have a Fein cutting tool that is great for removing the grout.
Thanks

Welcome to the forums! In reply to your question NO! I suggest you would be quicker to purchase all new:thumbsup:

Depends on who or how they were laid but if they were laid properly then no chance.

You could lift them and relay them as mossaic :grin: bet you could have some nice patterns.

you do not have a prayer of keeping them intact, doesn't matter who laid them, some if not most will break. Ones that don't break will need cleaning off if you are going to relay them, will take you weeks.
