Hi
My kitchen floor is convered with old style council tiles (dark brown thin ones) and when i lifted the old vinyl from the floor, i found around 40% of the tiles were shattered or cracked and were loose. Also there are areas where no tiles were covering the concrete as no adhesive was laid (just cement).
I want to either lay another vinyl covering temporarily and eventually lay laminate flooring over the tiles. The tiles are around 20cm by 20cm and are 3mm thick.
Would the best course of action be to try and replace the tiles, but so far i have not been able to find tiles this thin or perhaps lay thin mdf over the tiles and then vinyl/laminate over. I do not want to remove all the tiles/use floor levelling compound just yet, but may do in the future.
Any help would be great, thanks
