Default removal of vinyl flooring to put down ceramic tiles

Leave the paper, put down 1/4" Hardibacker boards, then put the tiles
on top.


That's the only way to do it IMO. As mentioned, floor flex will
eventually cause tile cracks and/or grout popping. You need to undercut
door jambs, trim doors, remove & replace base molding for a pro look.

As far as the Hardibacker, FOLLOW THIS.
