Old vinyl tiles

Just moved house,can old vinyl floor tiles be lifted and relaid in same place as a temporary measure?

Re : Old vinyl tiles

Try using an hot air gun, Gently lifting up the tile with a wide bladed decorators scrapper. However depending on how long these tiles have been down will make a big difference as to whether or not they come up again in one piece.Usually the tile starts too crack as your begining to lift, but with our old friend ( patience of an saint ) You can salvage quite alot if not all of them. You will have to exercise a good deal of care in doing this, as the hot air gun can discolour the surface of the tile if held too long or too close in the same area. I would suggest a distance of appproximately 10cm (4" ) if it is a decent gun, using side to side and up and down motions. Gently introduce the scrapper and try teasing the tile to lift. I hope this was helpful.
