I'm looking at installing tile over my parkay flooring. reason is
the entire parkay flooring is held down with an adhesive. and
almost impossible to completely remove. underneath the parkay
flooring is the concrete slab/foundation of the home.

I have been told not a good idea to go right over the top of the
parkay. that the tile will crack and buckle. And that i should use
some kind of thin set sheeting and attach it to the hardwood and
then tile onto it. I hve no idea what this "sheeting is" or where
to purchase i. or even if this would be the best popssible way tp
tackle this.. anyone with real world/professional expertise willing
to help "inform" me of the correct proceedure would be greatly
appreciated.

I'm not a tile setter but a close friend used to manage a tile company. The
word is that this has changed over the last few years due to new adhesives
that are now available. The key criterion is stability ... the under-floor
must be stable ... no movement, no cracks.

I'd guess that you can successfully lay tile over the parkay.
