Best Answer

It is not a good idea to install tile on top of anything that will degrade over time, is softer and more flexible than the tile, or is not securely set to the floor or sub-floor, as most cork floors are "floating" floors. Save yourself any aggravation and remove the cork. Chances are it will come up much easier than you might think, even if it's glued down.

How do you get a nail polish remover stain off of cork flooring?

Despite the first answer, it may be worth trying to remove it with acetone. You would carefully remove each spot using small amounts of acetone. Then, when finished with all spots, replace the sealant that is used for the floor. Well... You can't. Your cork flooring is ruined, and can't get restored. Call a flooring store and get them to go over to replace it. You can try to steam clean it, chances of getting it out are slim.

What best flooring can install over ceramic?

Many things can go over ceramic with ease, but the "best" option is one which works in the room you're doing. For example, laminate flooring is most forgiving of the unevenness (groutlines) of ceramic tile and easiest to install - but I would not put laminate in a bathroom (it's not moisture resistant). For a bathroom, the best option over ceramic is sheet vinyl. Be sure to use leveling compound to smooth grout lines even with the surface of tiles first.
