Actually, yes, I did have to remove the old flooring. It was curling, peeling, and breaking off in places. And stinky, especially around the toilet. Men, you know, sometimes miss the toilet, lol! BUT In our laundry room, I did leave the old flooring on and placed new tiles over it. It was in much better shape, so in that instance, it was fine to leave it the old floor on. I have that video as well.

You absolutely want to remove the old floor, especially if it’s ceramic. If you don’t, you will have indentations over time, unless you want to put down a liquid vinyl substrate such as floor leveler. I’d take this one step further and pull the toilet, this eliminates having to replace a few pieces should the toilet be replaced at a later time. Unless you are in a newer house, now is a good time to put new parts in the toilet as well to insure trouble free operation for years to come.

So far we have not had any problems with the tiles coming loose and its been quite a while since we installed them even with the flooding we had. But I suppose if the area you have it constantly damp/wet maybe that might be an issue IDK. I can only say what our experience is in our guest bath and laundry room.

I want to do this in my bathrm, but I live in an older home, and the toilet pipe goes thru the floor, not the wall, and cutting around that is an impossible fate to do, as well as the old radiator, coil style in my bathroom as well, that need cutting around. Thus, I will have to hire a contractor do it properly for me, which will result in no savings on my part. I wish my tiny bathroom was that easy, but nothing in this house has been easy. I guess I could paint the vinyl tile that is already on the floor Rustoleum, but I don't know. Ms. B. Churchill

We could not figure out why the home was musty smelling even after repairing drywall and repainting. Come to find out that my tenants a few years back installed peel and stick tiles over concrete floors without my permission Then reinstalled the carpet when they left (I imagine because of the dog). Two years later after another tenant left, I found them after removing the carpet to replace it. MOLD and red algae was growing under each and every tile because they trapped the moisture in and the tiles were just loose enough to stick but not lock out the mold.

Curious … why most video I watch why all said place first tile in center?

@secretgardenhome1809

6 ай бұрын

Starting from the middle allows you to work outward in all directions, which can help to distribute cut tiles more evenly across the edges of the area. This minimizes the visibility of any irregular or smaller cut tiles at the perimeter, providing a more polished and professional-looking finish. BUT starting from the middle may NOT always be necessary for every project, that why I test the placement first with several different placement layouts and what visually looks the best to me is what I go with in the end.

Pro-Tip: just take the toilet out first. It takes 5 minutes and it will look soooo much better if you do it this way.

@secretgardenhome1809

More like 30 to 45 min. BUT you don't need to. And yes, it's better to remove the toilet. But this shows you can install tiles without removing the toilet for people who just aren't able to do it for various reasons. We ended up having a major toilet leak a few months later and had to install a new toilet that had a wider bottom and didn't need to remove the tiles. At any rate, I might change the tiles to actual marble tile in the future, at which I will remove the toilet for sure. Thanks for your comment.

start in the center and put as many full size tiles down as possible..
