Yes, as long as the tile is only 1 layer, the floor is sound structurally, and you use a very high quality latex fortified thinset. If the old tile is cracking, those cracks will only transfer to the new.
A tile floor affect sound transmission by making it loud. This is unlike a room that has a carpet which will adsorb sound and thereby reducing noise.
the sound travels when it reaches carpet it absorbs it but on tile it bounces off
it may not be adhereing to the tile adhesive (not enough used or improperly installed?)
Carpet absorbs sound. It just bounces off tile.
You are correct! The tile will sound hollow when the thin set isn't hardened. When the thin set hardens the tile should sound much more solid.
The unit tile is one centimeter by one centimeter. The x tile is one centimeter wide by about 4.5 centimeters long.
coz the carpet floor is softer..which doesnt make noise compared to tile! :)
Though people do tile over tile, it's really not recommended. The underlying surface can make or break a tile installation. Preparing that surface is the most important step. So I'd remove the old tile, prepare the surface properly and then install your new tile. This will insure the long lasting beauty of your fireplace tile.
