Adhesive for ceramic tile over linoleum.

Hi i am putting ceramic tile in my kitchen and i pulled up hardwood flooring which was over linoleum which was then followed by vinyl floor tiles. The vinyl tiles must cover the old linoleum completely to help ensure a good installation. An old linoleum floor can quickly date a home. Let the thin set adhesive dry fully before laying ceramic tile.

In many types of old linoleum however the adhesive that was used to install it grows stronger over time. Vinyl tile comes in two forms. After the thin layer has dried which should take about 30 minutes use a notched trowel to add a second layer over the first layer taking care to create even ridges over the surface. Which left a black adhesive material.

When you re ready to install tile over linoleum a thin layer of mortar should be spread over the floor s surface with a flat edged trowel. The other which is referred to as peel and stick. Cover the joints between the cement board sheets with self adhesive cement board joint tape do not use standard drywall joint tape. One requires adhesive very much like ceramic tiles do.
