Can you put vinyl over a tile floor?

Pamela P on Nov 17, 2016I wouldn't advise it. The cracks will eventually travel up through the vinyl as the movement from those cracked tiles wear out the vinyl flooring from underneath. This will happen faster in higher traffic areas.Helpful Reply

William on Nov 17, 2016I agree with Pamela. It can be done, but too much prep work involved to get it right. The tile floor would need to be sanded, self leveling floor cement put down, then the new floor over that.Helpful Reply

Southern Home Improvement, LLC on Nov 18, 2016We have installed LVT or floated vinyl plank flooring over tile after using floor leveler to smooth the grout line with excellent results The vinyl planks are much thicker than sheet vinyl and don't conform to minor imperfections and since it is not adhered to the tile it is more forgiving to movement.Helpful Reply

Cheryl King on Nov 18, 2016You should not put vinyl over tile. Vinyl is soft and eventually will mold itself to the grouted grooves in your tile. The tile has to be removed. I love my vinyl!Helpful Reply
