Woodbridge Environmental Tiptophouse.com on Dec 07, 2011If your doing the kitchen over and the cabinets are going in new places that uncover areas that do not have tiles. You can create a border with a complementary tile and then simply go all the way around the kitchen so it looks as though it was that way from the beginning. Many times when tile cracks in kitchens and its no longer around. People simply place another new tile that complements the older then they remove more to create a pattern look. Just how many are you thinking about removing and moving?Helpful Reply

Terry S on Dec 07, 2011thank you . we will have most of the cabinets in the same areas,but we are downsizing our island and making a walkway about a 9 sq ft area around it instead of it being attached to the wall. i think i may have enough for that but may need to fill other areas and was hoping there was a solution to pulling up some of the existing tiles in a seperate entry and also using those. they are the same as the kitchen is now.Helpful Reply

Hewitt Remodeling Services LLC on Dec 07, 2011Terry, As Bob said, if they were installed correctly, it is almost impossible without microsurgery" and a month of Mondays...especially with the larger 16" tiles. Consider going with a complementary tile. TimHelpful Reply

Harold M on Dec 07, 2011I tried this once and found out it was easier and more cost effective to tear them up and install new. Unless your talking about alot of sq. footageHelpful Reply
