I am looking for opinions on setting porcelain tiles over well bonded vinyl in a kitchen with a concrete slab floor.
Years ago I labored to scrape vinyl tiles from concrete slab in a bathroom and set porcelain in thinset mortar. A friend of my client;"the flooring expert"; thought better to leave vinyl tiles and set the porcelain over them.
Did the 2nd bathroom in same home weeks later "his" way.
Both floors look and perform the same .
I now have a request to set a kitchen and laundry area which has sheet vinyl on concrete slab. All vinyl is "securely" fastened to the concrete. The tiles are 13" and will be set with a 1/16" grout line.
