ceramic tile


Posted by Jean on March 6th, 2004 10:08 PM

We are getting ceramic tile layed in our kitchen. I have read and seen several opinions on whether I need to take up a vinyl tile which is down solid. Ihave been told that it is not necessary that they would use a heavier thinset with latex to float it and that there would be no problem putting the ceramic over it.

Then I have been told that it absolutely needs to be taken up. If I have to remove it what is the best way to do this and what is the prep after it is removed?

Thanks for your help.
