This is my remodel kitchen here done 5 years ago.
Notice that everything is new BUT the floor. As I decided not to do the floor at that time. But now it looks dated.
The kitchen floor is same level as my wood floor.
Questions:
1. Should I just put tiles on top of the laminate flooring? It will be a bit higher than the wood floor so would it look OK like that?
- If I remove the laminate piece, what can I do to ensure the level is close?
Best Answer
The existing vinyl flooring and existing underlayment should be removed. All types of ceramic tile, stone tiles, porcelain tiles, etc. need to be installed on a different type of underlayment. Removing the existing underlayment will give you a chance to install the new tile floor level with your wood floor. If not exactly the same level, there are off-set wood covers that can adjust for various heights.
