What Affects the Scope
Removal, moisture, flatness, cracks and movement can change the preparation required. Tile size, grout, doorways and neighboring rooms also affect the plan. The selected installation system must suit the actual base; keeping an old floor is not always appropriate.
What to share
- Room photos
- Approximate size
- Current floor
- Moisture or crack history
- Selected tile
- Adjoining floor heights
Can tile go over the existing floor?
Sometimes, but height, bond, flatness, movement, moisture, transitions, and manufacturer requirements
must support that approach. Removal may be necessary to assess or prepare the substrate.
Send the area, current floor, tile direction, and known substrate or moisture concerns.
