putting linoleum over 6x6 tile
Hi,
I need to put new flooring in my basement. Currently there are 6x6 vinyl tiles. I'm not sure if they are asbestos tiles, but I thought it might be easiest to just roll new linoleum over top of it instead of removing them. There are a few loose tiles, but if I remove them and use something to level it out, would that work?
I really don't want to tear up the tile, especially if they contain asbestos.
I have read about putting a subfloor, like drilock, but I am afraid that moisture might get sucked up into the partilce board and make it bloat. It's an old house and I am not sure how much water gets into the basement. Also, I want to be cheap.
So any concerns about what I want to do? I'm pretty handy, but just moved to Ohio from Texas. Basements are a mystery to me.
Thanks,
Wes
