Yes! But you need to make sure you have proper support underneath i.e floor joists. Make sure they are sturdy and supportive, if they start moving, your tile will be ruined. Try to use 3/4" pressboard on the joists screwed every 8"...stagger the boards so there is no continuous running joints. On top of that use 1/2" cement board like durock. You must use thin set between the two boards and screw them together. Also, use thin set , as you would spackle, in the joints of durock with mesh material as reinforcement. Make sure to use the green screws specifically made for cement board. Wait 24 hrs and start tiling...goodluck
Duraceramic tile will not chip, break or crack like regular ceramic tiles. Manufactured in a 16" square format with scoring, you can cut the score lines to make 4 tiles 8" square. They are best installed in dry residential rooms. This leaves the bathroom out. Use the proper underlayment for the type of floor you are installing Duraceramic tile on. Spread Congoleum Duraceramic tile adhesive on the underlayment using a tile trowel. Allow to dry until tacky, then set the tiles with spacers. Use a roller to press tiles into place, and allow to dry 24 hours. Grout with Congoleum Duraceramic grout.
if is a concrete slab floor and it has linoleum on it then clean the lino let it dry and use that as your water barrier/underlayment. if it a raised foundation then use wonderboard!
Yes, but you should you use an adhesive that is ductile
You could but it's not advisableWall tile adhesive is thicker so it won't run down the wall and the tiles are less likely to slipANS 2 - I have done this a few times. If you use tile spacers, no problem.
If you are positive that it is asphalt I would not suggest adhering tile directly to the asphalt. If removal of asphalt is not an option I would install a subfloor and use thinset mortar to adhere the tile. Another option (probably the better option) would be to pour a concrete mix over the asphalt. Than use thinset to install the tile. The concrete will incapsolate the asphalt. Asphalt more than likely has oils in it and can be a hazard.

Yes, use a good thin-set cement.
Thin set mortar? It is what you use to lay ceramic tile.
You should NEVER install tile over laminate. Pull up the laminate (which is very easy) and install the appropriate subfloor, then install tile on that
a compact pressboard for use in constructing sides of cabinets, paneling for walls, and other nonstructional applications.
It is best to remove the vinyl tile. If it is not on cement and is on wood you can install cement backer board. Be sure to put thin set under the board. If you spend the money and time to install ceramic tile and the vinyl tile comes loose all that $ is down the drain What is the best tile cement to use and this cement tile can be installed on vinyl tile and install ceramic tile on it
If you want to install a glass tile that are easily found from stores you need to follow some instructionsMeasure the layout of backlash where you want to install that glass tileThen use a thin set to wall with a notched trowel. Mix and Apply Thin-Set MortarUse that tile on that thin setGive the design of that tile which you want by cutting and polishing
Depends on the size tile you use. 12" tile on the floor I use a 1/4"x1/4" square notch trowel to spread my thin set. Larger tile require 1/4" x 3/8" square notch trowel. Wall tile usually needs a 3/16" x 5/32" V notch trowel. You will want to check the bag of thin set and with a professional in the store. Some tiles have different requirements.
You use thin set cement, a bit like very smooth concrete.
