We would like to tile our kitchen and dining room.
The kitchen currently has linoleum over 1/4" plywood over something else then 1" subfloor. The linoleum does not come off completely (at least not without a lot of work). When we try to tear it off, it leaves its backing on the plywood. Can we just tile over the linoleum or at least tear off the top layer leaving the backing? I'm thinking that this would not be a very good surface to tile over.
In our dining room we currently have badly stained hardwood floors that we have sanded. Will tile hold up directly over the hardwood or do we definitely need to put a backer board down? What if we use Flexbond Thin-Set?
Thanks for reading! Kevin
