In the middle of a remodel job on a house my mom just purchased. It has linoleum tile in the bathrooms. If it's set the same as the kitchen and foyer, it's glued completely not just around the perimeter.

Looking for pointers regarding setting ceramic tile over the linoleum.

Thanks in advance.

You can do it but you need to put down cement board first which will add 3/8" in addition to the height of the tile. Just keep that in mind.

Good idea. I might need to give him a call. I've read about it being done, but would like to talk to someone who's actually done it with success.

Secure Linoleum down with staples then set tile directly on top of...linoleum secured properly preforms just like crack membrane...srry but cement board is not needed ...learned this in Florida yrs ago never seen tile ever come apart...if you are worried put down roll membrane...though same effect...

Ditra/shluter underlayment....way better and easier than cement board,though not needed...cement board +tile ..thinset also raise floor up a good 5/8_3/4 "

1/4 inch hardie board will work but like some say by the time you add that thinset and tile you are probably 3/4 inch higher floor height. which really only matters for door height as there are many methods for the threshold that will accommodate this difference in floor heights. I wouldn't set tile directly on top of linoleum but the other option is polyethylene membranes witch I believe is only 1/8 inch thick so it cuts down on the finish floor height but I have never used it so I can't say for certain it is the way to go.

get a scraper and take up the linoleum. It's easy to do,,

As I said in prefious post..If u r one of the ppl who thinks this doesnt work,ditra or schluter mat ,which...by the way is basically a vinyl style isolation membrane and is minimum thickness is definitely better than cement board ,after 23 yrs im very sure if you research on internet you will get informed better..as ditra roll membrane is where to go...if you think vinyl is so"wrong"...,after cement board,tile ,thinset youll b 3/4 "+higher than surrounding floors.We only have 17 employees for 23 urs and on average use approx 6 skids of thinset per yr I know just a little about this.but read on this ditra/schluter. Roll is imo better

..This is better idea than board for height and is better period...layin over linoleum is fine if you prep first as I said plus use higher dollar thinset or bonding primer

This would be best.

Ive done it both ways, tearout and board-over.

No issues with either at 4 years. Only complaint is the room I went over the top, the transition from there to the next room is about 3/4" which doesn't seem like much but its definitely a trip hazard so we keep a rug on the lower part that cuts down by about 1/4" its less noticeable where I did the tearout, closer to 1/2" after pulling linoleum and underlayment

I have used the schluter backing in a bathroom, buddy's house and he moved, so cant say how long its held up.

I had to go the scraper/heat gun route. With a good heat gun, the scraping gets a lot easier.
