I am remodeling my kitchen and it has an industrial tile on the floor now (similiar to school flooring). I would like to put ceramic tile in its place. is it okay to lay the ceramic right over top if the floor is in good condition? or do i have to remove the laminate before placing the ceramic?
If you lay them properly the first time you can walk over them for the rest of your life
We have bought a house that needs both kitchen and bath remodeled. We decided to do the kitchen first and the bathroom next year, however the bathroom has U-G-LY black and pink ceramic tiles. I have heard tile can be painted, I just don’t know how or what kind of paint to use. Can any body help? Thank you
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.
I am planning on tiling the backsplash area of my kitchen. I am using 6×6 ceramic porecelin tile (roman stone). The dimensions of the area is 17″x60″. When i went to scrape the original paint off of the wall I will be tiling, the first thin layer of the drywall came off with the paint. This layer is paper thin. I went to Home Depot and they told me to use Zissner 123 sealer. I put on two coats and the wall seems sealed pretty good. I will be using Mastic as my adhesive. Do you think that I will be ok tiling three tiles high (first tile is laying on the granite countertop) without using a backerboard. Will the drywall be able to hold the mastic/tile even though I ripped off a thin layer of drywall but sealed it with 123 sealer?
Im going to lay ceramic/porcelain tiles in my kitchen does anyone know how thick they should be as in depth as im wondering if this effects quality etc?
thanks
We have ceramic floor tiles laid on timber floor boards, the tiles are chipped and cracked and in some places have come away altogether leaving the glue behind, we would like to rip up all the tiles and remove the glue, eventually so we can sand the timber floor and polish it. My question is how do we get rid of the glue? We have tried sanding it with mixed results some bits come off quite easily others just rip through the sand paper, the tiles have been on the floor for over 10 years. In some places they have lifted off and we have had the bare floor over time the glue has worn off especially in those places where we work all the time, in front of the sink and stove for example. Any advice would be appreciated.
Laying floor tiles! Never saw the complication in it!! My floor is just made out of rubbish cheap mdf wood!! I live in a housing association house!! Is it ok to lay ceramic tiles on top of that? Will they stick?I thought is ok but my aunt just came round and said she put hers directly onto concrete and she said she doesn’t think u can put them on wood. I thought it doesn’t make a difference. Who is correct?
I have a kitchen with ceramic tile that is a sick grey color. I’ve remodeled the kitchen and the grey ceramic tile floor just doesn’t go well. I’d like to paint it but have no idea what paint to use or if it is practical to even paint it. Is it possible or do I just need to live with it?
We just laid new ceramic tile but in the process of grouting, we made a huge mess on the top of the ceramic tiles!! Any ideas on how to clean?
THANKS in advance!
