How do you properly install floor safe into concrete?
This all depends on the floor. Concrete that is level is a wonderful substrate for many types of flooring. * Ceramic or porcelain tile: are great on concrete. In fact it is the preferred substrate. Laid on a level floor with a good latex fortified thinset, you should expect this floor to last a lifetime. * Vinyl: Another great floor for concrete. Glued directly to the floor you really don't need to do much special. The surface needs to be free of defect, as any will show through to the surface. Today there are great vinyl floors that look like wood (not a perfect representation mind you) that you can put onto a water or moisture prone area like basements. * Wood: With wood you do have some limitations. You cannot lay a solid wood floor over concrete. You also cannot put solid wood subgrade (below the soil line of the outside of your house, basements, sunken living rooms etc). You can though lay an engineered wood onto concrete, even subgrade. Engineered wood is plywood with real wood planking atop. These are laid with a high quality latex or urethane based glue. * Floating Wood or Laminate: Like a lot of floors, floating floors must have a very level substrate. 1/8" in a 6' radius is the standard idea. If you have a substrate level enough, you should be good to go. Most pads for laminate or wood are already a moisture barrier. If it is not, or the pad is attached to the floor already you need to lay 6 mil rolled plastic over the entire floor. Beyond that, the floor should be very similar to installing onto a wood subfloor.
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.
Can interlocking floor tiles be installed over carpet?
Interlocking floor tiles are not preferable used over carpet. The best surface to lay tile or any other flooring product is on a firm and solid surface that out give. Carpet goes down when you step on and makes it so the interlocking tiles will eventually come unlocked by stepping on it. I would not recommend that you install any type of flooring until your carpet is taken out. However if your looking for a good interlocking floor tile I would recommend Swisstrax. They have a great product. And they are great to work with. Sources: www.swisstrax.com www.bigfloors.com www.racedeck.com

Can vinyl flooring be put on top of laminate wood flooring?
Yes, laminate flooring can be laid over vinyl flooring, however, there are some considerations. First of all, inspect your vinyl flooring for any damage. Acordian style tears will create a "bump" in your finished laminate floor, which will be visibly noticeable, and it won't wear well. Large tears that result in missing pieces of vinyl will cause a "dip" in your finished laminate floor, which is also not a desireable result. Either and/or both of these problem areas will also compromise the integrity of your laminate flooring, and may also cause weak joints.
