Can you lay cermic tile over laminate floating floor?
No, ceramic tile needs a firm subfloor, without movement, and one not prone to moisture. Laminate is none of those.

Can you lay ceramic tiles on a wood floor if so what adhesive do we use?
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...

Can you lay ceramic tiles over vinel tiles?
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.

Can you put ceramic tile over ceramic 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.

Is it difficult to do Ceramic Tile Installation?
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.

Can you lay new ceramic tile over old ceramic tile in your bathroom if you sand it with 80 grit sand paper and put some kind of bonding agent or sealer on it?
If your old ceramic tile isn't cracking, loose or otherwise breaking apart then yes you can lay new tile over old. I wouldn't sand it with sand paper because I don't believe that sand paper will do enough scarcifying to the tile. get a right angle grinder, put a diamond blade used for tile on it and run it across the top of the tile. you don't need to take the whole surface off just have a few tracks running across each tile. Then you will need a more high performance thinset. whenever I have done this in for a client I use Laticrete 254 platinum or you can use a bonding agent. This is a roll on liquid that bonds to the existing tile and is a good substrate for the thinset you'll be using. You might have to go to a store that specializes in Tile to get these items. just as the sales rep there and they will point you in the right direction. hope this helps, good luck!
If you have ceramic tile on cement do you have to remove tiles before you can lay carpet?
If the tiles are down tight and the added height wont bother you, it is fine to go over the tile with carpet glued down or over pad. The installers will hate setting the tackstrip, but it is part of the job.. you are good to go.
