Best Answer

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.

Can you install a ceramic floor over an existing laminate floor?

It depends on the condition, material and surface of the laminate. A linolium floor, for example, is soft composition with a textured surface. This makes a horrible foundation for ceramic tile, giving room to crack the grout between tiles. A hardwood-type laminate is smoother and harder which is a better foundation. That said, the best thing to do is rip the laminate out and start fresh.


Can you install granite tiles over ceramic tile flooring?

Yes, it is possible to install granite tiles over existing ceramic tile flooring, but it requires proper preparation and consideration. The ceramic tile surface should be thoroughly cleaned, and any loose or damaged tiles should be repaired or replaced. The surface should be level and free from any residue or debris. Applying a bonding agent or primer can improve adhesion. It's important to note that adding granite tiles will increase the height of the floor, so door clearances and transitions may need adjustment. Consulting with a professional installer or contractor can ensure proper installation and address any specific requirements or challenges.
