Old red and black quarry tiles
Our Kitchen has old quarry tiles, and l was hoping to have Ceramic or slate
tiles on top, but have a gut feeling they will not bond......the scary
alternative is to have them dug up...... if this was the case.....do we
mix cement into what lies beneath...so anyone out there ...would you know
how much this project would come to?
If ur tiles are sound & you get a good key (remove polish
grease ect)you should have no problem tile adhesive now adays will stick
tiles to plaster board ,bonded of course , unibond or polybond first if
in any dought . IF you have to remove , clean off floor , bond as above
, spread screed thick ness you need for new tiles (to same level as
existing ) bond surface again , then spread adhesive & lay new tiles , use
+ spacers make life easier cost tiles + tubs adhesive to area , cement screed 3 to 1 mix again to area . Lifting floor is messy job will take 4 days, cement to set , cleaning off , bonding to dry , ect .you should be fine ,on top of existing (done it many times never had any problems) if you can take extra height doors opening in would have to be trimmed to suit . good luck , let it dry completely 24 hours before walking on & shut off heating allow to dry naturally what ever way you decide on
We had ceramic tiles put on top of old quarry tiles.Some thin
cloth that looked like muslin was put over the old tiles & then bitumen
was poured on to level the floor & left to set before the new tiles were
laid. It did make the kitchen floor a bit higher than it was. The cloth is
apparently to make it easier to remove the bitumen at a later date if that
becomes necessary. We had hoped to restore the original tiles, but that
proved too difficult.
I don't know if the website is up and running yet but try
installafloor.com and see if they can give you advice.
You'd have no problem getting them to stick, try a tester first
if your worried.
It depends whats underneath, how big the area is an what you replace it
with. As long as there is a firm base there is no need, that will probably
be just an ash base if they are very old, an then yeah you will need to put
a base down. Its a very easy job. Good luck with it.
