CeramicTile over Ceramic Tile?
Comments (3)Please post what you learn there back over here as this will be of interest to many. We have two areas in our house where there is tile over tile in place for 4+ years, and neither area has evidenced any problems. However, it was a lot of work to do correctly. (It would have been more to remove the tile, which we did try first, because it was STUCK!) In both cases, the lower tile floor was in absolutely perfect structural shape -- no cracks or hollow-sounding spots. And before going over the top, we roughened up the surface of the lower layer to assure good adhesion. Sewhappy - It sounds to me like your seller did a 'quick and dirty' remodel for sale, and probably skimped on the floor preparation since it wouldn't show. Wouldn't show prior to the sale, anyway... It might be worth a little research to see if you have any recourse....See MoreCeramic tile spacing between tile and ceiling
Comments (4)Anything you choose will accent the fact that the ceiling isn't level. The busyness of the tile choice at least disguised that now. Paint that little bit a matching color to the tile background and forget it....See MoreDurabody Ceramic Floor Tile vs Porcelain Digital Inkjet Tile
Comments (5)I just want to pick the most durable, longest lasting tile for the laundry room. I’ve been reading a lot of information and it is very confusing. Just wondering if anyone has personally had any complaints about either.

Comments (21)No, you can’t see if waterproofing is there without tearing things out and likely damaging the waterproofing. I will echo HB’s caution to not beat yourself up. It is easy to get into a heap of trouble when buying a house. We bought this one knowing it had foundation work done that was warranted and the warranty transferred to us. Six years later, we learned that the front living room and foyer of the house, which was on a slab foundation, had a big crack down the middle of the slab and had fallen a good four to six inches. Yes, the foundation piers that had been put in were working fine and were guaranteed. But the foundation repair company had advised the homeowner that he needed 12 piers, and he only did six. The right side and front were supported, but left side was still sinking. The home owner had hidden this from us by putting in a false floor and putting thick carpet over it. It turns out that the front room was sunken 6 inches lower than the adjacent foyer when it was built in the 1970s. The owner used that six inches to put in a kind of floating floor with 2 x 4s, shimmed to level with wood shims, with a plywood subfloor on top. This was not a first house for us. It was my 4th house, and we hired an inspector who my friend had used and who was supposed to be picky. He did not notice that room seemed odd, with a 1 inch drop. It cost us six months of construction living and $40,000....See MoreK C
