I'm remodeling my kitchen. My 4" tiles in now are cemented in with glue, will not chisel out. Can i wonder board over existing tile for placement of new tiling, or do i have to put plywood over existing ceramic tile then wonderboard? I really dread the option of tearing out entire countertops in order to re-tile. Please reply.

Wall and Flooring Indoor Tiling
wood put down like tile

H

housewifetoo on Sep 10, 2001

Has any one ever hear of a flooring made wood "bricks" that is put down like tile with a sawdust and something grot. I saw it on a show and would really like more info on it. We took out a wall now have to replace the floor. If I remember rightly they cut up 2 X 4 's to a brick shape then did the floor with them. Then sealed with a varnish. It really looked nice.

ceramic tile thresholds

on Nov 17, 2000

I'm in the process of tiling my kitchen/breakfast area. This room is a step-up floor design. The step-up area has a wooden (oak) threshold which is 3/4" thick. The floor is 3/4" thick plywood. The threshold strip is recessed in the 3/4" plywood floor. (Is this making any sense so far?) Removing the strip leaves a 3/4" x 3" area which after installing tile builds it up to about 1 1/2". Should I build up the oak strip or try to find a tile threshold ? The area is 72" long. Thanks for any input.
