Tile floor over painted concrete slab

01/14/2006 10:41 AM DelawareTodd

I am rebuilding a screened porch and turning it into a four season porch/sunroom. The floor is a 4 inch poured concrete slab over an unheated utility room. The house was built in the late fifties and the slab floor has been painted at least once. I can tell you from working in this area that the paint/coating does seem to be well adhered to the concrete. I was going to have a professional install the tile floor but was told that they could not warrant the job based on the fact that the tile would be applied over a painted slab. My question is.......What would be the proper way to proceed?
Thanks.
Todd
