Can I lay a new tile floor on an existing floor surface, like linoleum?
While it is not recommended, it may often be a less expensive proposition to tile over materials such as linoleum. Also, its a timesaver. Again, the key points to remember are to consult a licensed professional tile installer to ensure that the floor is level, square, and that the height of the floor, when tile and grout are added, does not interfere with either appliances or door openings. If you have height to spare, its a good idea to lay a base of stiff concrete board. You may also contact a Tesoro retailer for information on such a project.
