I have to do a project for my engineer class and i have to find 10 example of pneumatic brakes. I tried using google and pedia, but the examples come up very vague. Thank you
If the current tile is still in good condition you should be ok to install over it. I personally would take the time to remove it. Depending on the subflooring underneath the tile you may have additional work. For plywood subflooring its recommended to install backerboard before laying the tile. Since it sounds like it is an older house if it is actual solid wood flooring I have seen people lay 1/2 inch plywood on top, then 1/4 inch backerboard, and finally the ceramic tile. This is to help prevent shifting due to contraction, expansion of the solid wood. Hopefully its concrete underneath, in this case you would just want to make sure its level.
If this is in a bath or kitchen where wetness might be a factor, then doing this is not a good idea. Many older homes do not have the waterproof backer board that they should. I have run into this in my home re-dos and I just rip it all out, put in the waterproof backer and tile over it with the new ceramic tile. Then I never have to worry in the future about mold or mildew problems. The other problem with just tiling over the old stuff is that the thickness of the new tile + the thinset will bump everything out until it is a logistics nightmare. The faucets and/or shower for the tub might have to be remounted. And, if it's on the floor, then the bottom of the doors will have to be sawed down so they clear the much thicker floor depth. In my opinion, whoever is suggesting doing this just wants to do a quick and dirty job and avoid the work involved with a really good re-tile. Good luck!! : /
