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

How is marble floor installed?
Actually you would use a mud bed. Appr. 3/4 inch but will vary as no floor is level. Installing a marble floor is not for the average person to do. To tell you the truth most TILE installers have no idea what they are doing. Marble as opposed to tile is set with little to no grout joint. Also SANDED GROUT is a very big NO NO. To install marble tiles, you first need to lay out your tiles to determine the correct position and which tiles need to be cut. It is usually around the corners or near your doorway. After that, use a notched trowel to apply a layer of thin adhesive. Lay the tiles allowing for some tile separation and leave it to dry overnight. Once it is dry, you can use concrete to fill in the gaps. Use the squeegee to spread it and wipe the excess away. The last step is to wash the surface of the marble tiles after you are done. MOST TILE installers do not know what they are doing!!! Marble is a porous stone, unlike a ceramic tile, it will absorb water and moisture. If you use a "notched trowel" you will leave spaces for water to settle under the stone. That water has to escape. So it will do so through to the stones surface. This escape of water will leave a haze on the stone that does not wipe away. It is called effloresence. In some cases the stone will spall. Which is basically the stone flaking away. Not all types of marble are prone to this problem but some more than others. Verde aka green marble is one of the most common for effloresence and spalling. I REPEAT Installing a marble floor is not for the average person to do.
