Tile Vs. LVP: Keep, demolish or do both?

Long Tran
Posted

I'm curious what your experience is with installing Luxury Vinyl Plank (LVP) over tile. This was my initial idea for a renovation on a house hack. I know some have kept the tile and used self-leveling underlayment to fill the grout lines and uneven spots. Some roll out an underlayment. And some have installed directly on the tile with nothing in between. I know that I need to be mindful of the installations impediment on doors. I really don't to demo the tiles if I can get a quality installation without it.

I'd love to hear some of your inputs, thoughts and ideas.

Some of you might be thinking "if this is going to eventually be a rental property, why don't you just keep the tile?" But I think by having the place look updated (1) I will be able to ask for higher rents and (2) will also force appreciate the value of the property (in return get me that much closer to no-more-PMI)
