What should I know before installing floor tile?
You should know the measurements of the space to be tiled and the measurements of the tile that you plan to buy. Before installing tile you will need to repair any cracks, bumps or dips. You should remove any trim around the floor. And, if doing a bathroom remove the toilet. Good things to know before installing floor tile would be how long the floor will take to set, as well as if you have all the necessary tools to complete the job. Most floor tile installs will require some tiles to be cut, so make sure you can measure and cut the tiles as needed. The installation of the tiles will depend on the instructions listed on the tiles you have picked out so make sure you read these carefully before starting.
Can you lay ceramic tiles over vinel tiles?
It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.

What is the average price for tile installation in Louisville Ky?
Tile installation depends on the cost of materials and how large a space you are doing. It will average between 500 and 2000 dollars.
What type of underlayment do you need when installing tile floor?
Before installing tile flooring, you need a clean FLAT surface. Tile is not a flexible material so the flat surface ensures the tile will match up correctly. You also need to sand the underneath flooring so that the grout and tile cement will be able to form a cohesive nature with tile and permanently fix the tile to the surface.
