Question:

laying ceramic tile.surface question?

I‘m laying ceramic tile and I‘ve just pulled up all the old linoleum which left glue residue.my question is does the concrete have to be completely clean to lay ceramic tile, the residue is pretty much smooth.

Answer:

my parents just got through laying ceramic tile down about a month ago in there kitchen and they had to tear down the old floor which was carpet, eww i know, and then sand it down real good and lay down what they call becker boards b/c if not ur tile will crack and fall to pieces. I am not sure about ur situation but I would call b4 hand to be on the safe side that stuff is expensive, good luck!
if you dont use backerboards.just throw your money in the garbage because you are wasting it awaythe tile will crak and crumble
