Can I put laminate flooring on top of small ceramic tiles?

[Grandma-1]

I want to update the flooring in our laundry without removing the old small ceramic tiles.

Is it possible to lay laminate flooring on top of the existing tiles?

Hello @Grandma-1 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us, and thanks for sharing your question about installing laminate flooring.

It is possible to install laminate flooring over a tiled surface. As long as it is in a reasonably sound condition and the tiles are not coming off you should be able to install the laminate flooring over it. Please note that any door opening into your laundry area will need to be trimmed at the bottom to make space for the laminate flooring as it will increase the height of the floor area by at least 7mm++ depending on the type of flooring you purchase.

If you need further assistance, please let us know.

Hi @Grandma-1,

Let me also extend a very warm welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. We look forward to seeing how you can transform your floor.

The Bunnings step-by-step guide How to lay laminate flooring should give you confidence.  

You should also get inspiration from this project community member @diy_hausdesigns - D.I.Y. flooring using adhesive vinyl over tiles.

Hope that helps.
