No, ceramic tile needs a firm subfloor, without movement, and one not prone to moisture. Laminate is none of those.
Yes on wood, no on smooth solid concrete
Yes. You should use a good quality underlay with it though to reduce the noise of the laminate knocking on the tiles.
Yes you can, but there are requirements & considerations. The sub floor must be solid, If you walk through the room & the dishes in the cupboard rattle, the floor is not solid enough... Total thickness should be at least 1 1/4 inches & solid!!! you also have to keep in mind how heavy Tile & thin-set are. a good size kitchen floor adds over a TON to your floor & the load the walls & foundation has to carry... If that floor is flexing, the tile is moving & well break, crack & crack the grout out... the wood should be clean & free of finishes & wax, a little roughness/ texture is even a good thing. The thin-set is mortar mixed with water and while the wood will soak up the water it will soon evaporate off & should not cause buckling.. lay out the floor with a chalk line & square from the center & work outward a few feet at a time and that keeps the humidity down too. Don't use adhesives on Ceramic tile, it is not as permanent as the tile & will not provide the "bed" to set the tile into...
It depends on the Doctor . My Doctor uses the lay on your side on the table and pull your knees up towards your chest . ( I think some Doctors have you lean over a table ) in order to check your prostate
Yes, it is possible to lay new tile over existing tile as long as the existing tile is in good condition and properly prepared.
you have to pull the linoleum up to lay tile. . .i would suggest a cement backer board over the existing plywood also
It is possible but I would not reccomend it. If possible remove the old tile before laying the new tile. If you want to avoid removing the old tile you can lay a cement board over the old tile before installing the new tile.
Yes, you can lay new flooring over existing tile as long as the tile is in good condition and the new flooring material is compatible with it. Proper preparation and installation techniques are important for a successful outcome.
Yes, you can lay new tile on top of existing tile as long as the existing tile is in good condition and properly prepared. It is important to ensure that the surface is clean, level, and free of any loose tiles or debris before installing the new tile.

You can, but you want to be sure the ceramic tile is not cracked or broken, make sure it is even, and not loose. It is reccomended that you you always remove any old tile before tiling. You can always lay a subfloor on top of the old tile to ensure your new tile was crack or pop out.
Thin set mortar? It is what you use to lay ceramic tile.
Yes on wood, no on smooth solid concrete
Ceramic Tile Installation is not at all as hard as it may look. Simply find the measurements of the room for which you will install the Ceramic Tile, and go out to any of your local hardware stores and buy the tiles that fit you best. All you have to do is simply peel off the sticker on the tile, and just lay it neat and flat on your floor.
No, but it does have to be smooth, preferably sanded.
To lay ceramic tile effectively and efficiently, start by preparing the surface, measuring and planning the layout, applying adhesive evenly, setting the tiles in place, and grouting the joints. Use the right tools and techniques to ensure a professional finish.
