Classy Kitchen


This is a basic straight lay of nice classic beige tile. Very clean and simple. For this one, I had to remove existing vinyl, 1/4" cement board, and set tile on top of that. Some people will just tile over the vinyl tile or directly on the wood sub-floor. I don't like doing that because the wood can swell and potentially crack the grout or even the tile. And I'm not 100% confident that thinset mortar sticks well enough to vinyl flooring. So to prevent potential repairs, its better to stick the tile to cement or fiber board.
