In most cases yes. You should still follow recommendations by each manufacturer because they could vary. Make sure that the exisiting flooring is not lifting or curling in any areas. Use a recommeded laminate underpad that suits your circumstances and then follow the instructions on the box.

∙ 14y agoIf by laminate you mean products like Pergo, no you cannot. (Looks like wood but floats on the subfloor) If you mean vinyl, you might be able to. What is your subfloor? If it is concrete you are good to go as long as the vinyl is fulling glued and isn't pulling up. A lot of installers will tell you to take it up. There is logic in this. Less on the floor, less to go wrong. If it's plywood or OSB you will need to put down cement board in addition to the thinset. Go to a tile store or home improvement store to purchase all you will need and for detailed instructions. Many even offer free classes on how to install tile. If it is particle board you will not be able to put down ceramic. They are sawdust glued together. The thinsets contain water and would cause a great deal of harm if you tried.

∙ 15y agoYes. Assuming that it is a floating floor (ie:Pergo), you can install it over any solid surface.
You could also install a glue down laminate as long as you used the appropriate sized glue trowel.

∙ 14y agoNo, there is too much movement in a laminate floor.
Yes, if you use a perimeter sheet vinyl type product that looks like tile, however there may be movement.
But since the question was vinyl tile, the correct answer is no.
Wiki User
∙ 14y agoYes, as long as the tile is not broken or unlevel.
