When we remodeled our kitchen 3 years ago, we were told we needed to put down cement backerboard before the vinyl could be installed (to insure proper warranty of the vinyl). So we did. Now we would like to replace the vinyl with ceramic tile. Can we simply remove the vinyl and use the existing backerboard to install the tile on? We want a quality tile job, but would like NOT to have to take up the backboard and put down new backerboard.
She keeps on playing with the litter and lays on the litter box. She also peed on the tile and lied on her urine. I really don’t know what to do. She keeps on playing around and does not stop no matter what I do. I’m scared something will happen to her incision.
It s rare to find a tile that isn t glazed now. A couple ways to tell if they are or aren t. Look along all 4 edges, a lot of times you can see over glazing as they went through the bell glazer. If the tile body is anything but a red clay then theres a 99% chance its a glazed tile. Most un glazed tiles are flat on the back and won t have the ridges on the backing for the thin set. If your still unsure wet the top w/ some water. Un sealed it ll soak in, glazed , it ll bead up or stay on the surface. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar and check my qualifications there GL
Also, I may want to tile some of the area. Should I NOT paint the area I plan to tile?

Just removed slate tiles from my foyer. They appeared to be cemented down. Now that the slate is gone how do I go about leveling the floor to lay down new ceramic tile. The slate sat above the wood floor about 1/4 inch. Do I have to gouge out the left over cement to make the new tiles even with the wood floor? If so, what’s the easiest way to do that? I don’t know if there is a subfloor or just foundation. Help, my foyer looks like a bomb went off in it!!
We used
Kerakoll H 40 adhesive,
We are considering 18″ x 18″ diagonally laid travertine (stone) tile for the first floor and bathrooms, and carpet for the stairs, upstairs hallway, and bedrooms.
I have porcelain tiles in my kitchen and outdoor patio. The kitchen tiles look good. However the outdoor tiles which are newly laid look dull. Is there some glaze which i can apply to make them look better ?
