We're wanting to put new flooring in two rooms which are currently tiled .
My studio has very good condition large tiles over a concrete slab . Long term solution wanted . Think it would be hard to get them off and I don't have the tools.
The kitchen has poorly grouted tiles over a timber subfloor . Short term solution needed .
Looking for a timber look . Need a thin flooring otherwise I'd be changing doors etc
Vinyl planks looked like an option but one site says you can't put these over tiles . Is this because the profile of the grout line will show through . If this is the case would it be possible to put some form of filler in the grout line to give a smooth surface . This is something I could do . I'm good at fine detail stuff , not the heavy duty things . I think this would be practical in the studio .
I think there is too much movement in the kitchen floor to make this practical , so was wondering whether putting a layer of Masonite down and then the vinyl plank would be the best solution . I think it would be a lot easier to get the tiles up in the kitchen , but as This room will be changed in the next 2-4 years anyway , I'm trying to avoid it is I could .
Any thoughts ?
