Carpet To Put Over Floor Tile

Instead of trying to fix it i decided to build a sliding barn door to go over the opening instead.

Carpet to put over floor tile.

One problem we encountered after installing carpet over the tile floor was the pocket door to the bathroom. Position a knee kicker about 1 inch away from the wall and push the teeth into the carpet. Carpet is another type of flooring that can be successfully installed over ceramic tile. Also the tack strip holes will all have to be drilled because the ceramic will shatter if you try to nail directly into it.

Before you can install carpet tiles you must prepare the existing floor. Carpet tiles can adhere to concrete plywood or particleboard subfloors. The friction underneath made it difficult to close. In some cases you can also install carpet tiles over existing wood tile or vinyl flooring so long as the existing flooring is no more than an inch thick.

Hook the carpet ends over the tackless strip beginning at one corner of the room. In this case the carpet is simply applied over the tiles without nailing or glue kind of like a wall to wall rug. Depending on what type of carpet or padding is selected it will add some height to the floor. Carpet can be laid over tiles as a temporary measure for example for tenants wanting a warmer environment while preserving the original flooring.
