yes.
yes - of course
Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.
Properly. NO! The correct way to do it would be to rip out the tile and start from scratch with a new subfloor for the sheet vinyl to be installed on.
Yes but you may want to apply a leveling compound between the two vinyls and also take care to make sure the original vinyl is well stuck otherwise they will both end up coming off the floor.
Ceramic. Ceramic.
I do not think that is a good idea.The rubber flooring should be removed and then new ceramic flooring should be laid on.
If you are you are referring to tongue and groove flooring such as Pergo then the answer is yes. You may however want to first lay lu-on (not sure of spelling but it is a thin sheet of wood) to insure that the floor is level.
It depends on the type of floor that you are putting down the vinyl flooring on top of. If it is concrete, then make sure it is clean, dry and repair any cracks or holes. If the old vinyl flooring is in good repair then just put the new vinyl flooring over it or use an embossing leveler for slightly worn vinyl flooring. If the old vinyl flooring is in very poor shape remove it completely. Plywood underlayment can be used for other types of flooring that you will put new vinyl flooring down on top of.
Answer from Choices (http://www.choicesflooring.com.au/vinyl/) Generally, cushion vinyl is laid loosely so any imperfections in the floor don't show through over time. It can also be glued down, but the flooring needs to be completely level. Vinyl tiles or planks are glued down so the surface needs to be completely level, which is done by applying a self- leveler to the floor if required.
If you cant get the existing flooring up, or if lifting it would cause more damage to the substrate then its worth, then yes i would suggest doing this and it is common practice.
a good quality vinyl well looked after should last over 20+ years
