Floor Tile
Do I need a vapor barrier when installing ceramic tile?
I live in a ranch-style house on one level, but on a concrete pad. I'm re-tiling the kitchen floor. After removing the old tile, I discovered a £ 15 felt they had been glued to the ground at the top of this thin pad is established, then the tile. I live in Bakersfield, CA, which is a dry climate Arrid.
Yikes! Even in the high desert of California, there is underground moisture. But to get to your question: a) If the pad is poured over a barrier Steam (Visqueen, usually), no need to add anything new * as a vapor barrier *. b) It can not hurt to install a sealant on top of concrete before installing new card anyway. This will reduce the dust, in any case. C) But I'm thinking that the paper felt he found was installed as a stress relief, instead of a vapor barrier. Lets you move the tiles other than the concrete slab. This is important if there are extreme changes in outside temperature - entering the edges of the slab and varies by time of day - with relatively constant temperature inside. If the chip is attached directly to the concrete as the temperature changes take place beginning to flake and separate - is not good because even a few fractions of an inch of difference is sufficient to break the link between the tile and concrete. say to me, I would like to install a release of tension (AKA subfloor) with the new tab. There are applications liquid (Laticrete) and sheet goods (Durock), which come to mind and are very effective as an automatic link yet give a reliable, solid surface to hold the tile. These are just two of many and are linked below.

![]() Bissell Steam Mop Hard-Floor Cleaner, Green Tea, 1867-7 List Price: Sale Price: $69.54 You save: $30.45 (30%) Eligible for free shipping!Availability: Usually ships in 24 hours See Reviews For This Product DescriptionBISSELL 1867A Steam Mop¿ Hard Floor Cleaner for an all natural chemical-free clean. Steam Mop has quick release cord wrap with slim, lightweight design. 100% Chemical-free product with steam on demand. Ideal for the chemically sensitive or those with small children, the Bissell Steam Mop deep-cleans hard-surface floors using the power of pure water alone. No harsh (or expensive) cleaners means no fumes or residues to irritate lungs or muddy delicate finishes, while the use of hot steam rather than buckets of water leaves floors dry in just seconds. Heated and ready to use in 30 seconds, the remarkably quiet mechanism works something like an iron: steam is dispensed on demand, rather than continuously, by pressing the trigger while passing the mop over the floor. Hot steam easily removes hardened and sticky gunk, especially if the mop sits over the mess for a few seconds. (Leave it in place 15 seconds to actually sanitize the cleaning surface.) The machine steams for approximately 15 minutes before the tank needs to be refilled, but there's no lag once you refill it. The Steam Mop's low-profile 360-degree swiveling head accesses hard-to-reach nooks and crannies, like under kitchen cabinets, while its compact profile stores easily in small spaces. Other thoughtful design touches include a quick-release cord wrap and easy-carry handle, as well as a built-in water filter to protect from the minerals and impurities in hard water. (An indicator lets users know when the filter need to be replaced.) Durable, reusable microfiber pads are safe on all sealed hard surfaces and clean up nicely in the washing machine, making them more environmentally friendly than disposable options. Measuring 6 by 11 by 45-1/2 inches, the Bissell Steam Mop weighs less than 7 pounds and is covered by a one-year limited warranty.--Mary Park Features
