Question:

what type of tile is best for a mobile home..?

Real tile or those that u just glue on?? why?

Answer:

There are some nice vinyl self-adhesive tiles out there, and for about a dollar a square foot, it's hard to go wrong. Just do good prep work to make sure it's beautiful and long-lasting. Ceramic tile takes a lot of work. Additionally, you may need backer board for either type of floorcovering if there are any imperfections in your existing subfloor, and the combined thickness of the board, mud, and ceramic tile quickly adds up to a taller floor that can cause stubbed toes when transitioning off carpet areas. Bottoms of doors can begin to drag the floor too. Good luck and happy scraping.
Makes no difference until you move the house, and maybe not even then. Mortar cracks
I am thinking glue on cause they are lighter in weight- your floors are probably plywood? I have never seen real tiles in a trailer.
I wouldn't invest real tile into a mobile home. I would have to say laminate tile squares...which can be easily applied and look quite nice.
Vinyl tile , sheet vinyl, laminate flooring, wood (iffy)or carpet are the best choices for a mobile home. Ceramic is never suggest or recommended for a mobile home.There is just to much natural deflection to have ceramic hold properly.
