Installing tile over laminate?

I want to install tile over laminate. How do I do this?

Answer:

you cant. the laminate will not adhese to the tile. trust me, you should just rip up the laminate. it can be fun, and there is most likely ply wood underneath it. this will make your update much more pleasant and permanent and will also be very easy. good luck with things :-)
Do not lay Ceramic tile over the laminatee floor, you must remove the laminat and get to the sub-floor and remove it then put down sheets of durarock on the floor joist. If you are laying it on a concrete floor you must still pull the laminate up and have a clean level surface so the mortar will bond. If you don't remove the laminatee your tile will float on the laminat. Hope this helps.
You have to remove all the laminates, clean and cement render your floor before installing the tiles. Normally, there are a layer of polyurethane and sponge under the laminate. Check and see. Installing tiles over your laminate floor would cause your tiles to crack at the joint/ edge as the laminate will tend to sag.
