Hi - Opinions on installing tile over linoleum? I have a newer house (4yrs old) When we had it built, we had linoleum installed with the idea of doing tile later on down the road. Since it's newer, I imagine that the removal is going to be a major pain. I've done several DIY tile jobs in the past, but never any over linoleum. I am not planning on installing directly to the linoleum. I would either buy concrete backerboard and screw it down (through the linoleum and into the plywood subfloor) or apply some sort of metal mesh (such as stucco netting) screw it down, and then apply the tile over that. I've seen several discussions online and most all say do not install tile to linoleum... but none of them include these extra steps, they are all talking about laying tile directly over the linoleum.
Thanks
