Novatek Novastrip 1026 Infrared Tile Remover – Model N1026

Made to Order

The Novatek Novastrip 1026 (N1026) uses infrared radiant heat to break adhesive bonds beneath floor tiles without water, chiseling, or dust generation. With a 1026 sq in heating footprint, it removes up to six 12" × 12" tiles per cycle. Powered by 220V/50A — requiring no external buck booster — it uses 12V DC controls, a ceramic-coated heat panel, and a triple-redundant safety system. The powder-coated aluminum housing weighs significantly less than competing steel units, and one operator handles the full removal sequence.

Novastrip N1026 – Key Specifications and Features

  • Model: N1026
  • Heating area: 1026 sq in (removes up to 6 × 12" tiles per cycle)
  • Power supply: 220V, 50A — no buck booster required
  • Control voltage: 12V DC for safe, cool-running electronics
  • Panel coating: ceramic-coated for extended service life
  • Heat delivery: infrared radiant heat — no water, no dust
  • Safety: triple-redundant safety system, case grounded
  • Electronics: 100% solid-state — no mechanical relays or solenoids
  • Construction: powder-coated aluminum, one-operator design

Where the Novastrip 1026 Performs

Asbestos tile abatement contractors specify the N1026 because infrared removal keeps tiles intact, which satisfies EPA and OSHA requirements for minimizing fiber release during friable material handling. Flooring contractors performing large commercial remodels use it to clear 1,026 sq in per cycle rather than grinding or chiseling individual tiles, dramatically cutting labor hours. The one-operator design is particularly valuable in tight commercial renovation schedules where labor is the primary cost driver. Restoration companies handling water-damaged buildings use it for adhesive tile removal where water-based methods would further damage subfloors.

Infrared Technology vs. Conventional Tile Removal

Conventional scarifiers and floor grinders generate airborne dust that requires HEPA filtration and containment setup. The N1026 heats the adhesive from above through the tile, softening the bond without fracturing the tile surface or generating dust. The computerized control system governs heating cycles for repeatable results, and the solid-state electronics eliminate relay failures that cause downtime in mechanical-control competitors. For asbestos-containing floor tile, intact removal is often the legally required method — the N1026 makes it operationally practical at scale.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many tiles per cycle does the Novastrip 1026 remove?
The N1026 covers 1,026 sq in per cycle, removing up to six 12" × 12" tiles simultaneously. Cycle times depend on adhesive type and tile thickness, but the batch removal approach significantly reduces labor hours versus manual methods.
What power supply does the Novastrip 1026 require?
The N1026 requires 220V at 50A. Novatek specifies this voltage to eliminate the need for external buck boosters, which add cost and potential failure points. The internal controls run on 12V DC for safe, cool-running operation.
Does the Novastrip 1026 generate dust during tile removal?
No. The N1026 uses infrared radiant heat to soften the adhesive beneath tiles, allowing intact removal without chiseling, grinding, or fracturing — the primary dust-generating actions in conventional tile removal. This is particularly important for asbestos-containing floor tiles.
Why is the triple-redundant safety system important on the Novastrip 1026?
The N1026 operates at high heat levels with 220V power input. The triple-redundant safety system provides independent protection layers to prevent overheating, electrical faults, and operator exposure — meeting liability requirements for commercial and abatement job sites.
How does the Novastrip 1026 differ from the Novastrip 378?
The N1026 covers 1,026 sq in (6 tiles/cycle) at 220V/50A; the N378 covers 378 sq in (2 tiles/cycle) at 110V/20A. Both use the same controller design. Choose the N1026 for large commercial projects; the N378 for smaller jobs or locations with only 110V access.
Is the Novastrip 1026 suitable for asbestos tile abatement?
Yes. The N1026 is specifically designed to keep tiles intact during removal, which is required for asbestos-containing floor tile (ACFT) abatement under EPA NESHAP and OSHA 1926.1101. Intact removal minimizes fiber release compared to breaking or grinding.
