Tiling over vinyl glue.

Am i ok to scrape off any high points and tile down onto it using the norcros flexible adhesive after priming with sbr. You can t tile over old carpet glue but it s not hard to remove carpet adhesive before tiling. No adhesive will stick to dirt and grease and even very small bits of dust or debris can cause a flaw in the way your vinyl tile adheres to the existing vinyl floor.

Hi all i m going to put ceramic tiles down over a concrete floor which has previously had clear looking vinyl flooring glued down onto it as can be seen in the attachment.

You want to scrape off as much as possible using a razor scraper. Hi i m laying 300mm x 300mm porcelain tiles. Replacing carpet with tile can give your home an exciting new look. But now that you have ripped up the old carpet you ve got a sticky situation.
