    Default tilling ontop of quarry tiles

    I would like to know if it is possible to lay on top of a quarry tiled floor, there is concreate undeneath. The floor needs leveling, will a latex based self leveler be sufficient. Any advice will be really helpful.

    If all the quarries were solid then a quick answer would be yes, it can be done....but I wouold rather have the quarries removed and start from a substrate I was totally happy with.
    If you decide to tile over then you must make sure the old quarries are cleaned and void of any polish or wax. You can do this by using something like LTP Grimex.

    My advice would be to remove the tiles though.
