i am a contractor and if you are using self adhesive vinyl tiles they will not not stay down a cement floor. when i do a cement floor floor i use clear thinspread and let it sit over night and the next day i lay the tile.

I am putting in a new kitchen floor and I was thinking of doing vinyl floor tiles, are these a good floor choice? Also, can you grout between the tiles if you want a more ceramic tiled look?

We have 1″ cobalt tiles in the shower, white cabs w/ opaque glass doors, & white tile floors with gray grout. We are up for changing our floors, possibly to the TrafficMaster allure vinyl “bamboo”. We have red and tan in the rest of the house. Love darker colors.

I know the best way is to lay wood underneath, but this is not an option. The choices are:
1. Lay the tiles on the floorboards – fairly new and in good shape
2. Lay them on top of the vinyl flooring – also newish and in good condition
The area to be covered is tiny – just over 2 square metres – it’s my bathroom floor.
Which is the better option?

I want top get my house revalued. I have painted the whole house inside and out, so it looks nice. The only bad part is the floor. It has really old, prehistoric old lino on the floor. And it is covered in paint too but not lefting or anything. Would it be beneficial to tile and carpet the house before i get it valued? It is going to cost me a few thousand $, and just wondering if my valuation will go up a few thousand to make it worth while?

HELP! which of the two are better in terms of the following:
- cheaper to buy
- easier to assemble
- easier to clean/maintain
- lasts longer/more durable
- easier to replace

I have this ceramic tile that’s like an off white color with very subtle gold or tan flecks (can’t tell). I don’t want to do brown, I was thinking a nice calming green BUT there are brown accent tiles through out and the entire bathroom from floor to ceiling is tile. this is a diy due to money issues.
What I had planned is doing bamboo floor, remove tiles on wall behinf toilet, sink and in front of toilet leaving tile in shower area only and removing accent tiles and replacing them. I need to replace sink, toilet and mirror, paint, etc.
Does it sound reasonable to do this?
Any suggestions appreciated.

There is parquet flooring throughout the house. It was covered by carpeting to sell it. Lucky us. We are replacing rug with vinyl tiles. How would I stick the tiles to the parquet? Some of them are separating. Should we put some kind of board like luan over it or should we remove it all. I’d rather cover it if possible. Trying to keep the mess down. Please help. Was thinking of covering it with luan then putting down the vinyl tiles. Would this work? Please help!

I wold like to lay a vinyl covering over the old tiles but the pattern may show through in time. If I used a levelling compound then whatever it sets against would be glued into it. Can anyone give me any advice, please?
