DIY Related: Ceramic tiling a kitchen floor

[gardenboy]

Hi all I'm looking for some advice about tiling my kitchen floor it's 10 sq mtr and part is floor boards which I intend to cover with plywood, part is concrete and part is vynil tiles which are stuck down really well. Different people I have spoken to have given me different advice. I would like to know which tile adhesive would be best for all 3 different areas, do I need to put a primer on the vynil tiles and plywood flooring etc.? I would welcome any sound advice please and anything else I need to be aware of to do a good job. Many thanks.

personally i would remove the vinyl tiles before laying anything,a flexible adhesive should be used if only using one type due to tiling onto ply! check with adhesive to see if priming is needed,however most tilers will prime the concrete floor with a diluted solution so the adhesive "grabs" to the concrete and not any overlying dust!
