You do not want to simply apply the thin set every where and start laying the tile after.
Tiling a kitchen countertop over laminate.
This project involves laying ceramic tile over a laminate countertop around a top mounted kitchen sink and on.
To make things worse there was about a half inch mud bed under the top layer.
Do this in sections.
Begin placing the tile from the center of the counter out pressing back and forth and side to side on each tile to secure the thinset.
Luckily layering laminate makes very little difference in height.
If the countertop is delaminating in areas the tile will not hold.
Install tile over laminate countertop and backsplash step 1.
Use contact cement to reapply the laminate so that it firmly sticks to the mdf.
While the point of installing tile over laminate is to cover up the poor laminate there is a limit as to how bad that laminate can be.
Remove the stove from the kitchen by taking out the bottom drawer and placing the feet on top of a blanket so.
Mix the thinset in a large bucket and spread it about 1 8 inch thick over the entire laminate surface.
Tiling apply the base layer of the mortar on the ditra in a v or w pattern.
Then butter the back of the tile.
