Floating Engineered Floors Over Tile

The simplest in terms of getting the job done without messy demo work would be a floating engineered floor.

Floating engineered floors over tile.

What types of installations over tile. I have an old tile engineered wood combo flooring in roughly 1000 sqft of the house. Engineered tile s warm and comfortable surface is a major trade up over the cold hard tiles of natural stone porcelain and ceramic. Laminate is a cheap fast flooring solution that easily goes right over ceramic tile.

Donna asks we are thinking about replacing our tile floor in the kitchen. With engineered tile it s possible to be done in a day with less mess but it can take as long as 3 to 5 days to install traditional stone tile. Laminate flooring goes very well over ceramic tiles. Engineered tile is faster easier and cleaner to install than natural stone ceramic or porcelain.

Floating floors were designed for. For years the only solution to installing hardwood floors over tile was rip it out and install the wood floor. Easy installation compared to natural stone ceramic and porcelain which can be messy and take up to 2 to 5 days installing engineered tile is faster easier and cleaner. The thought of ripping up both to install life proof vinyl flooring doesn t appeal to me.

It is a thin solid flooring system that doesn t require adhesive and comes with a padded underlayment that helps smooth out any contour from the ceramic. Engineered tile is easy to clean and highly resistant to stains and scratches. Unfortunately where the ceramic meets the engineered wood there s a little less that a 1 4 inch height difference and a transition is currently being used.
