You can put the newer style floating wood floors onto a floor with tile. Also, if it is old VCT tile, there are glues that will allow you to use their product to glue the wood to the floor. Unfortunately, nail down wood is not acceptable.
You would be putting a permanent floor over a temporary floor & that would not be wise. Might work but if it doesn't you lose it all...
Yes you can install vct over existing vct. The existing vct must be well adhered to the subfloor, no loose tiles or cracked and chipped tiles. If tiles are missing or must be removed you will need to patch in those spots with a suitable portland cement leveler or new pieces of vct. You will need to sand off the wax layer that may be present on the existing vct because if it is left on it can wear loose over time causing adhesion failure of the new vct and glue. Sweep all dust and contaminants from the floor.
VCT stands for vinyl composition tiling and VAT means vinyl asbestos tiling. VCT flooring is made of a vinyl combination material and is the most popular type of floor tiling on the market.VAT can present a hazard due to the asbestos. It is found mostly in older buildings and homes. Read more: How to Know VAT or VCT | eHow.com http://www.ehow.com/how_7500036_vat-vct.html#ixzz29kll0neX
If its new VCT probably, and you will need to strip the old wax & rinse good so there is no stripper residue.. it eats your new wax over time.... If it ceramic tiles NO.
