Did anyone put this over existing tile??

It won't stick on existing tile. You must remove tile and then make sure surface is smooth enough.

I was never able to put it up. It was smaller than it stated and really short in height. Waste of money.

Hi I have not officially installed the tiles yet. However, I am using them outside on top of a concrete slab without dowels or adhesive at the moment. I am only going to use the dowels to attach and see how it goes. The tiles have very little movement. They are heavy. I will not use the adhesive if I don't have to. I think it might depend on where you are using them. Hope that helps.

what kind of tile ? It will possibly stick on ceramic type tiles if applied correctly but smoothing the joints together over a non uniform surface could present a challenge

Once it's stapled down and flat. Pour a floor levelor over it. Approx 1/2" thick then you can tile over it.

This would be creative coloring- Get the terra cotta pack, use the white, or use some epoxy (messy), fill your tile, then get some enamel paint and paint the top to match And use a clear coat in either gloss or flat or semigloss to match. Yeah it's a pain, but it's about all you have besides replacing tile

My electrician, who installed it, told me to lay down one full coat of mortar, let it dry, then lay down more mortar+tile as usual. He said that this would help protect the wiring. Be ware, though, that you must make this first layer *even* or else it will be a pain in the you-know-what to tile over uneven mortar. Make sure it's nice and smooth.

No, this cannot go over tile. The substate of this product is paper, not vinyl .

We originally thought we wanted a thicker tile too. Glad we didn't. Would have been much harder to install given all the cuts we had to make. There is a very slight cushion. Dropping a fork from counter height would not puncher the tile surface. But since ours is in a home office, we did put carpeted stickons on the base of our file cabinets so we could move them later without worry. Also, surface has a slight texture with a shine. We put it over concrete. Sticks very well.

You can give your tiles a more sturdier feel by 'painting' them with watered down white glue. I've done this a few times and my friends prefer them this way.

It's just a rectangle. It's somewhat soft, but has moved around on my rather uneven Mexican tile and rubbed the finish off. It was too soft and moved around a lot. I would chose another if your tile is not even.

You have to grout this! This is not a peel and stick. You need a contractor to put this up or someone who has applied a product like this before. This is a real tile job however when completed it is STUNNING!!!

Yes, it could be installed over tile by using plenty of thin double sided tape or by caulking (or putting adhesive on the back). The sheet is reasonably thin, so as long as you don't try to secure it at only the 4 corners it should look ok.

A BIG YES!! We did it to ours almost two years AGO!! They are still as beautiful as the day we installed them. I used a cement for ceramic tiles that is "water soluable" Put a 1" duab in each corner and one in the middle. Don't put it to close to the edge, or it will ooze out. I used a 4" paint roller to press out the cement, easier than trying to press them down by hand. Just use a normal pressure. Also we did not caulk the seams. They fit tightly agaist each other, that chaulking is a waste of time. labor and $$$ Wish there had been foam tiles like this when we bought our house in 2000! I would have had them up then!! We can afford real tin tiles but these look 100% as good.

I used the satin so I am not sure if it would turn out clear over black tile

I don't think it would work well over tile as I don't see how you could get it smooth. It worked great over a regular formica counter, but you do have to sand it quite a bit.

I installed mine over my existing linoleum with no issues. Just be sure to clean it really well and let it dry completely first. Mine turned out beautiful!

This worked for me over a shower I did. All tile walls with glass accents. I grouted first as you want the sealer to not only seal the tile ( pebbles ) and the grout from water intrusion. Not shiny, just sealed. I will reseal once each year.
