I am a new subscriber and recently bought a pier and beam house with loose, broken and cracked ceramic tile in kitchen, bath, and mudroom (a continual run). A very inexpensive fixer-upper, the inspector said house is now sound, but I still don't trust the structure not to shift again. It does appear to be structure related as evidenced by cracks around windows ect. Neighbors cautioned me that with our soil, I should not re-install ceramic tile as it would likely break again. So my questions are;
1) Should I install high quality vinyl type tile now instead of ceramic? Or could I possibly install porcelain tile now with proper underlayment?
2) Is there anyway I can install over damaged existing ceramic tile? Or over previously trowled stuff left under it? Or should I try to remove that hard gunk too?
3) What about Anti-Fracture Membrane, Crack Isolation Membrane or Crack Suppression products as underlayment.... for ceramic, vinyl or neither?
Sorry this is so long but wanted to give you as much info as possible on my situation for your consideration.
And cost is a factor. I am a financially struggling yet pretty handy single mom!
