looked a lot like them...
I had to take up a bunch of VAT 12 by 12 tiles that looked a lot like them in my laundry room and as the house was built in 1971 I was worried about possible asbestos problems. So I wanted to take the tiles up without breaking them apart and creating airborne particles if possible. What I found worked best was to cover the tile being worked on with tin foil and then heat the area with an ordinary iron. After a few minutes I worked up a corner and using a hard edged "gum scraper" I was then able to force up the rest of the tile in one piece by pushing the scraper under the tile.
