Yes, when you lay it on a diagonal, there is more waste. Generally, with a straight lay, you need 6-10% waste. With diagonal, it's best to have at least 15% extra.

It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.

To install carpet tiles on concrete, start by cleaning the surface thoroughly and allowing it to dry. Next, apply adhesive to the concrete using a trowel, then lay the carpet tiles in the desired pattern. Press down firmly to ensure they adhere properly. Trim any excess tiles to fit the edges of the room. Finally, allow the adhesive to dry completely before walking on the carpet tiles.
To effectively install carpet tiles in your basement, start by cleaning and preparing the floor surface. Lay out the tiles in the desired pattern before adhering them to the floor using carpet tile adhesive. Trim the tiles as needed to fit the space and ensure a seamless look. Consider using a moisture barrier underneath the tiles to protect against dampness. Regularly vacuum and clean the carpet tiles to maintain their appearance and functionality.
It is possible to do but not a recommended practice Carpet tiles are designed to be installed over a stable surface. Even if you use one of the solvent based outdoor adhesives there will be some movement of one carpet against the other. This abrading will result in premature separation of the layers and you will be constantly trying to re adhere sections of the floor as they come loose. The best procedure is to remove the existing carpet, prep the surface & then install the tiles.
You can lay tiles again but make sure you buy proper mortar. You can install any kind of floating floor such as laminate, engineering wood, interlocking vinyl tile. Your main concern should be structural integrity of existing floor, if its not falling you can do pretty much anything
If the tiles are down tight and the added height wont bother you, it is fine to go over the tile with carpet glued down or over pad. The installers will hate setting the tackstrip, but it is part of the job.. you are good to go.
To lay pool tiles, you will need mortar to affix the tiles to the cement pool, you will also need grout for between the tiles and a sponge to clean the tiles.

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
