Ceramic tile over existing vinyl flooring
We would like to tile our kitchen, laundry room and bathrooms which are currently covered with a vinyl flooring. At Floormasters today we were told they would not remove the existing flooring but tile over it. I'm guessing they have done this in many Villages homes and they appear to have a very good reputation but it just doesn't seem like a good idea to me to lay tile over vinyl - I'd have doubts about the adhesion of the existing material to the concrete substrate or the adhesion between the ceramic tile and the vinyl surface.
If those with any experience in this area could pass on the benefit of their knowledge I'd appreciate it.
