Tiling Over Victorian Tiles

[ExplodingPudding]

Good Evening all,

I have an enquiry that I require some help on.

The situation is that there's a customer who has old Victorian tiles throughout her hallway. They have tiled the remainder of the house but now want to extend throughout. The problem being that there are original Victorian tiles that they do NOT want to damage in case they ever sell the house.

Would a floating plywood floor be appropriate to avoid damaging them or is there another way that I haven't thought of? Underfloor heating might be considered too.

Cheers all!

There is a tiling system that you don't stick down....... I'll try find it..

Durabase stuck with an acrylic glue would work. When you need to rip it up, a hot industrial blow torch would get rid of the glue and not damage the tiles. Obviously, they would still need some kind of restoration treatment doing to them.

Why would you want to cover them up? Bloody crime that!

Ardex UI 740 Flexbone would be ideal for this but I'm not sure where it's available in the uk, perhaps you could order it online.

I'd use disconnecting sheet or mat by any reputable brand and tiles will be safe and sound.
