Would like to tile my family room which has tile on it now. The tile is some kind of very very thin tile that buts up against the others with no grout. It probably has asbestos and therefor i would just as soon tile over if possible. Any suggestions? Is that doable? Thanks!!

It is very thin tile, i am not sure what type but pretty sure it has asbestos. I want to put ceramic tile in on top. Its a very very solid floor only one or two tiles have cracked and that was due to legs of a couch other than that its been very solid. Those existing tiles are on a concrete slab ...i can see that from the step up from our garage into our family room where that tile is. I hope that helps?
