bobbytee,
While I am not familiar with any books on the subject, the local hardware store {Lowes, Home Depot etc} do keep some pretty decent literature available to the public for no cost. Perhaps reading these leaves you with more questions... we would be glad to try to answer them here individually.

Recoloring or reglazing ceramic tiles

on Jan 05, 2000

I have nice 8x8 ceramic tiles on my bathroom floor and on the hearth of the fireplace in the adjoining bedroom. Only trouble- they are a very outdated color, mauve, which I never liked anyway!! I read somewhere about reglazing tiles but don't know how to go about it and am doubtful it would hold up in the bathroom. If I decide to put down new tile, can I lay it over the old if I select a new one that's not too thick? Thanks for your help. Read More

terrazzo flooring

on Jan 08, 2000

I have moved in a duplex that has terrazzo flooring. The flooring in the livingroom is damaged with nicks, discoloration and pits. The kitchen has adhesive tile over the terrazzo except under the refrigerator and stove. My question is that I want to remove the tile and clean all the flooring well enough for placement of perhaps another flooring cover. My first question is. How do I remove the old tile? Second, what flooring is recommended to cover the terrazzo. It's not attractive on it's own and I do not want to remove the terrazzo . Oh! also, the tile is in the bathroom and that I want to remove also. I do have pets. 9 cats and 1 16lb dog. So the flooring needs to be pet friendly. Because, of the pets I do not want to use carpeting. Thank You Roger in Clearwater, Fl e-mail address is res00t7j@gte.netRead More
