I have the laminated flooring in the kitchen and don't like it. I'm thinking of applying marble tiles in a 12 x 8' area. Should I leave the wood there as a base or remove it? I realize if I leave the wood than add tiles on top of it, makes it difficult to open a garden door. ..and yet the door is only a 24'' wide door...so I may consider cutting it at the bottom. Is this expensive and a 'diy' type? Any suggestions? Thanks
Ceramic tiles in kitchen

first, tiles over wood isn't recommended. 2nd, you need to determine how flexible the floor and subfloor is as tiles need to be on a relatively non-flexible surface. 3rd, marble on a kitchen floor is a bad idea. it's soft, stains, and scratches.
Maybe I meant ceramic tiles...are they any better than marble for floors? i would think they are stronger and cleaner than a wooden floor.
