Ceramic and Porcelain Tile Floors?
The most common types of floor tiles are ceramic and porcelain. These are more viable solutions than marble and natural stones, which tend to be expensive and fragile. Floor tiles need to be durable and handle the constant foot traffic in entry areas, kitchens, and bathrooms of a house. Porcelain tiles have a relatively high density, which makes them very durable and resistant to cracks and damage. This material is also well known for its moisture resistance, which is important in the kitchen, bathroom, and laundry room. Ceramic tiles have similar properties that offer great durability. However, unglazed ceramic tiles have to be covered with sealants to prevent stains and other damage.

Can vinyl cushion flooring be laid over glued down vinyl flooring?
Yes - but a qualified yes. If you are talking about the 12" square vinyl floor tiles that are still securely fastened then you can go right over them. If they old tiles are lifting or loose then the answer would be no. If only one or two tiles are loose then you can remove those ones - and with a patching / floor leveling compound fill in the voids so that the entire floor is smooth and level. If you can not find a patching compound try using a modified latex thinset (for tiles). It sticks to most things and is relatively cheap and will last longer than the sheet vinyl floor. If many of the tiles are loose - remove them all. The old adhesive is starting to fail and will cause problems after you install the new floor. There are several ways to fasten sheet vinyl flooring the most common being glued down. Check the manufacturer's instructions on what the acceptable substrates are. I would highly recommend first washing (to degrease) then scuff sanding the old tiles to promote adhesion.
