    Tile over vinyl kitchen counter?
    I have a kitchen counter that has a top surface of a porous vinyl. Can I place ceramic tiles OVER that vinyl or do I need to somehow take the vinyl off?

    Thank you!

    I don't know the whole procedure but its best to take vinyl off as it is not a good base for ceramic tile.

    Id Agree To Take Of The Vinyl. You Need To Start From Scratch To Have A Good Adhesion For The Tile
