ceramic tile


Hi there, that’s a nice topic you discuss in my opinion It is possible, with modern technology, to successfully bond tile to vinyl, asphalt tile, and seamless flooring. Done properly, a new tiled installation can be placed permanently over these existing surfaces.
If the existing flooring surface is dimensionally stable, meets the necessary deflection standards, has the required expansion joints, and is satisfactorily on-plane, this method can be used. Its desirability, however, rests on the user.

Re: Discussion: Tile Over Vinyl Flooring, by Bud Cline


"Bonding" isn't the issue.

"Most all of the mainstream manufacturers of tile thinset mortar adhesive offer a product that clearly states on their label that their product is suitable for installation of tile over vinyl flooring. This is true. Their glue will stick to vinyl. If it were that simple and a guaranteed effort, we would all be doing it and there wouldn't be any arguments. If you look closely, any warranties of this method extend only to the adhesive sticking to the vinyl and in no way offer compensation more than the replacement cost of their product. So, my advice, which is based on more years of crawling on my knees than I care to admit, is to remove every last bit of resilient and adhesive so that your chances for a successful and long lasting ceramic or stone floor are greatly improved."
