Self stick vinyl floor tiles are a great flooring option because they are durable affordable easy to install and available in a variety of styles and colors.
How to lay vinyl flooring over ceramic tile.
Then smooth out the ceramic tile before laying the vinyl.
Here are the step by step instructions for installing them yourself.
Once the tile is leveled off your next step is to remove the toilet so that the floor can be laid under it not cut around it.
If the grout lines in the ceramic tile are deep you ll see and feel them under sheet flooring and if you choose to install preglued vinyl tiles they won t stick.
The main caveat is that all vinyl formats call for a smooth subfloor including sheet vinyl vinyl tile and luxury vinyl planks and tiles.
Use a self leveling compound to fill in the grout joints.
Over time the vinyl will sink or be pressed down into the contour of these depressions telescoping the grout joints from the ceramic tile installation all the way up through the vinyl tiles.
Ceramic tile has grout joints that are uneven so if you were to install the vinyl over top you would see the grout joints underneath the vinyl.
Give the compound time to dry before moving on to the installation process.
