To tile over a laminate countertop, first clean the surface thoroughly to remove any grease or dirt. Next, apply a layer of thin-set mortar to create a suitable bonding surface, ensuring it’s evenly spread. Lay the tiles on top of the mortar, following your desired pattern, and use spacers for even grout lines. Finally, allow the mortar to cure, then apply grout between the tiles, and seal the edges to finish the installation.
If you are installing a floating laminate floor, you can easily put it right over the tile.
It is best to remove the vinyl tile. If it is not on cement and is on wood you can install cement backer board. Be sure to put thin set under the board. If you spend the money and time to install ceramic tile and the vinyl tile comes loose all that $ is down the drain What is the best tile cement to use and this cement tile can be installed on vinyl tile and install ceramic tile on it
No, I would try to avoid that at all costs. If you do it, it will crack. It's best to remove the existing tile and smooth out subfloor before installing any tile, and most especially for installing marble which is very fragile.
The difference is a tile finisher preps the floor/wall or any thing that the tile is going to be put on and a tile setter is the man or woman that sets the tile in place wear they need to be...just a quick basic run down .!
With thinset.

In my opinion, no it will swell.In my opinion, yes you can install laminate over tile if the tile is in good condition/stable and even. You would first put underlayment above the tile and then the laminate on top. (you always add underlayment before laminate). It is important, though, to make sure you have enough clearance for the doors (you may need to shave the doors). If it's a kitchen, you also want to make sure there is enough clearance for the appliances.
Tile, cork, vinyl, laminate, carpet and engineered flooring.
I'm guessing that you mean penny round tile. If so, no should never lay this over a laminate floor. Laminate floors are floating, so they move and your tile/grout will crack. You are also not supposed tile on top of any form of wood (laminate is recycled hardwood), because it expands and contracts so it will also cause the tile and grout to crack. You should remove the laminate. And then install on top of either smooth concrete, level it or add in cement board. If, however, you actually mean vinyl, then it depends the condition of the vinyl. It's usually better to remove it, but you might be able to get instead pour 1/2 self leveling cement or put cement board on top and then install. Your floor should be smooth and level before installing the tile.
Yes, you can put rug over ceramic tile.
If the vinyl is down tight , the answer is YES, Laminate con go over it
You have to put a cement board like Hardibacker, Wonderboard or Durock over the ceramic tile.
can tile be placed over river rock
Yes, you can put laminate over linoleum flooring as long as the linoleum is in good condition and the surface is properly prepared. It is important to ensure that the linoleum is clean, smooth, and free of any damage before installing the laminate flooring on top.
yes just prep your your tile with ardex
No! Bad idea! Laminate is a floating floor that has to dissipate any moisture that comes up through it. If you put vinyl flooring over it, the laminate can't "breath" and it will respond to the humidity by swelling up and buckling.
Hardwood, yes. Laminate , yes. Tile, I wouldn't. you can put tile over it if you put backer board over it, or if you have 3/4 inch subfloor underneath and the vinyl is glued well you can use a superflex motor from lowes. but the backerboard is the best choice
