What Flooring Can You Put Over Ceramic Tiles?

Hey,

I think most of us housewives look for smart home cleaning techniques. And what I have learnt over the years is that ceramic tiles are the most versatile flooring material and can be used in any room at all. This is also because it is very easy to clean ceramic tiles and wipe off any dirt or dust using just a sponge. They are also very durable. But the major question here is what flooring can you put over ceramic tiles. I have seen many of my friends pondering over this question. I recently got vinyl flooring over my ceramic tiles. So, I know about different kinds of flooring that can be used for ceramic tiles. Read along to know about them.

Can you lay vinyl flooring over ceramic tile?

Yes, you totally can. I got it done for the ceramic tiles in my living room just a few months ago. 

What type of flooring can you put over ceramic tile?

• Laminate Flooring:

  If you're on a tight budget, laminate flooring is a cost-effective alternative to ceramic tiles. Because laminate flooring does not require any adhesive, it is also quick and simple to install. If you don't have the time or energy to install new tiles, this is the best option.

• Vinyl Flooring:

  Vinyl flooring is a fashionable, long-lasting, and simple-to-install flooring option. Peel-and-stick, self-adhesive, and interlocking vinyl floor tiles are examples of vinyl installation types. Vinyl tiles are also low-maintenance.

• Wood Flooring:

  If your question is ‘can wood flooring be installed over ceramic tile’, then here is your answer. Your old ceramic tile floor can also be covered with wood flooring. In spaces with a lot of dampness, wood flooring isn't the best option. Moisture can deform or ruin the plank's edges.

• Carpet:

  If you want to replace your ceramic tile flooring with something new, carpet is a simple and inexpensive option. Check for any broken tiles or a hollow sound when tapping the tiles before installing them. You must first reattach or replace the shattered tiles. As much as feasible, use a thicker carpet.

• Cork Flooring:

  It's a wonderful solution for places where water is most likely to spill, such as the kitchen or the bathroom. Cork is a water-resistant material by nature. It absorbs water more effectively than a sponge without becoming soggy. Cork flooring is more soothing on the feet than laminate flooring and can sustain more wear and tear.

These are a few options I know of on what flooring can you put over ceramic tiles. I hope they help you.
