Ceramic Tile Over Peel and Stick Vinyl marklovesjulie 04-16-2007

I am putting up my condo for sale and want to spruce up the small
kitchen (100 sq feet) with some new ceramic tile.
The floor now has peel and stick vinyl (12 inch) tile that seems well
stuck even though it is quite scuffed up. Several people have told me
that I can lay ceramic tile right over the vinyl.

Has anyone done this? Did it work out?

>From a bit of searching I have found a few web sites that suggest
sanding the old tiles to roughen them up, and also to screw on the
vinyl tiles before laying the ceramic ones.

What do you think? I don't want to spend a lot of time and money on
this, but at the same time I don't want it to look like crap....

Thanks!

Mark

I had sheet vinyl flooring glued to my slab floor. I was told I could
use thinset to lay ceramic tile directly on the clean vinyl. I didn't
believe it so I tried a few pieces inside a pantry closet. It stuck
so well that I did the whole kitchen. Six years later absolutely no
problems.

Generally in slab conctruction they lay tille on a membrane anyway. It
should be fine if your peel and stick is well stuck. If you are
nervous about it use flex mortar.

I should have specified that the sub-floor beneath the peel and stick
tile is plywood, not concrete. Does this make a difference?

Thanks,

Mark

It could. Stability is the issue.
