On plywood subfloors I wouldn't consider doing tile over tile due to the sheer weight you will have on that floor. Just asking for issues down the road if you ask me. Concrete floors i cover cracks with fabric and prime with eco prim grip and have never had an issue doing tile over tile and in some cases the added height corrects the elevation issues with adjacent flooring....but its rare.
My walkin shower has standing water when we shower so we always use a squishi to push water to drain how can i do the slope and new tile with out removing old tile
I want to install tiles over marble floor in side ma house... But the marble is old and it have small pot holes as it is old marble floor... Do i need to remove the marble first and then install tiles or tiles over marble can work... I asked one of the construction guy he said marble can be rough (making small holes in marble so that bond can grip)first and then he can install tiles over it... Plz guide me what to do
Over linoleum if its well stuck, not bubbling up or coming up on the edges you should be good just use a modified thinset. Key it in on the floor the spread and backbutter tiles. I wouldn’t do it over vinyl tiles though gotta demo those Unless youre over plywood subfloor you can just screw 1/4” hardibacker over the vinyl tiles(usig thinset in between like a sandwich)
@@OBFTILE Thank you so much. That helps me a lot. I think I'm in good shape to tile over them. They're in really good shape, I just want a change. I'll be tiling over ceramic tile in my bathroom as well. Thanks again.
@@OBFTILE I don’t have room for hardi or ditra under a door so have to go over sticky stuff bcuz without a heat gun idk how it will come up. It’s over wood subfloor.. anyway does any allset work? They gave me the “Schluter” modified allset so curious if that’s good or go for more of a faster drying glue but I hate fast stuff. Tile cover my bathroom tile and no issues in 4 yrs
I am wanting to go over a tile on my front porch that has no defects. No baseboards or doorways to worry about. It has one layer of tiles over a concrete substrate floor. My question, will any of the of the bonding primers you mentioned suffice for my project or do you recommend one over the other? Thank you for the video.
Yes they should, I would try to contact your local mapei or laticrete rep so he can come out to your house and check it out so he can assure you or talk you out of it
Anyone body use a steam mop on tiles? Over the past year I’ve been using a steam mop to mop the floor tiles and my grouting keeps coming off. Is this bc of the steam mop or is it a bad grouting job?

Thanks this was a super helpful video, just what I needed to know.
Im glad you found it helpful
I would recommend paying extra for removal of flooring versus cutting all door and removing all baseboards and even more.
Me too but the video is for explaining that you can not to say its a better option
Your look so beautiful Kate

Perfect thanks
Can I tile on top of tiles that have been painted with a strong epoxy resin?
Which primer do you recommend for installing over saltillo tile or quarry tile

Mastic is for small backsplash areas
You could use it but you could also mix 3x’s as much with a better THINSET
We want to SEE not HEAR!
Any suggestions for putting ceramic tile over linoleum or vinyl tiles? Great video. Thanks.

@@OBFTILE and it’s an exterior door. Also just heard something about laticrete failing from a tile guy I know. Can it be done without primer?
Nice one, thx.
Good info
Glad you think so!

Thank you so much sir for your expertise.
Will this work with natural terracotta (thick) over ceramic tile floor?
Yes

Both in my experience but...mostly bad grout I would say
What spacing do you have for the joints? And how old is the installation?
You didn’t mention what mortar to use when tiling over tile?
You can use any thinset appropriate for the tile youre installating. Those primers don’t specify a thinset kind to go over them
Imagine the poor guy that eventually removes this😵💫
I always seem to be that guy.....lol
dude,.......put some pictures, cut aways, something instead of just your head talking....the first 1:50 was "well I wouldnt do it but".....oh lord
Dude talked and talked damn
