- ceramic tile on linoleum
Is your lino cushion backed?
Is it over luan?
Is it a cheap builders grade that can shrink over time?
Is it totally glued to the floor?
Is the subfloor under it capable of supporting a ceramic tile installation?
What is the size and spacing of your floor joists?
What is the unsupported span?
If over a cement slab, are there any cracks in the slab indicating movement/settling?
Theres a lot to consider. Remove the doubt and remove the lino and luan first, then build up the floor to where it needs to be for ceramic.
