OK... but what's VCT ? I'm looking at thinset and ceramic.

Sorry, ain't gonna happen. It's the middle of Summer, dirt under the
floor is slightly damp, no visible water unless you dig a few feet
below that. I still pull 10 gals a day out thru the dehumidifiers. We
use sumps here but they only come into play when the water table rises
in spring.

How about installing on top of the floor and putting a layer of
concrete on top of which the tile floor sits? Perhaps not ideal, but I
really don't want to jackhammer up the floor at this point.

Thanks, I'll check it out.
