The short answer is yes; you can install laminate flooring over a ceramic tile floor if the tile floor is in good condition and the tile is well attached, level, and flat. The process would be the same as installing a laminate floor on a concrete slab.

However, if the existing ceramic tile floor isn’t flat and smooth, or if it has a tile that is out of level or has a protruding corner, your laminate flooring will make you feel like you’re walking in a funhouse!

In that case, you can either opt to tear out all the tile and start from scratch or use a leveling compound on top of the tile floor to even it out prior to installing the laminate.

Good luck with your project,
