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.

boy I wouldnt, tile is forever. concrete floor may have unseen cracks,
cant fix what you cant see
