SNAPSTONE Porcelain floating floor tile is still going strong. No problems no errors no complaints. Flooring rehabilitations in the Midwest are up about 14% over the same period last year. Seems the government hasn't found a way to screw up floor coverings just yet. 
SNAPSTONE is alive and well.

maybe it's just me, but know one appears to have given much thought to how the finished wood top floor will react when it is covered over and becomes a second sub floor with a sealed surface above & below it.
However when in years to come the new top surface is removed and the wood exposed and the rental given back. i bet the landlord will be so glad the new tenants can limbo under the large gap left under the door.

You're overthinking the concept. I smell smoke.

I was asked to do the same but with porc. I asked someone I knew in the trade of a long time and he said the only way is to make sure whatever flooring it is going over is solid, then he said lay 30# felt down for the tile to adhere to, using vinyl glue and a small V-Notched trowel back butter your tiles and install with spacers of choice size, Then for your grout lines fill with a latex caulk. Easy to maintain, easy to clean, easy to remove. Good luck with your rental project.

You want to tell whoever told you that they don't know their ass from a hole in the ground. There is no such thing as a successful floating REAL tile floor.

Duraceramic could be another option.

Hi,
The advantages offered by engineered oak flooring are numerous. Firstly, it provides for an extra stability over Solid Oak allows it to be fitted in situations where the latter cannot be used. Also, there can be a drastic reduction of installation costs as engineered oak floors can be installed by people as long as they faithfully follow all the specified rules as needed.

Ill say that floating floor method is the easiest, fastest and cost effective way of laying your floor down, without damaging the sub-floor of your installation room. I'm not a hundred percent on what the circumstances are on ceramic tile, for i specialize in Hardwood Flooring more than anything.
