If the wooden floor is absolutely smooth, it can be done. Just keep in mind that ANY ridge, bump, tiny tiny splinter sticking out of the wood will transfer through to the surface of the vinyl tile. Just be sure that the surface is as smooth as possible and yo should have no problems.<br><b>References : </b><br>Avid DIY'er and handyman I’m assuming you mean peel and stick tiles.

I am assuming that you want to put in Vynal floor tiles. This may be a bigger job than you realise, because you would need to lay a sub-floor of, say, 8x4 sheets of plywood not mdf, and then the tiles. Really, really, the skirting boards should also be raised to allow the new boards to go under, and thus get a good clean finish, so if you can do that then, good luck with the work.<br><b>References : </b><br> Linsay, you cannot fix floor tiles in to a boarded floor, because all the floor boards move seperately, and floor boards have gaps between them.

Tell them your substraight and they will sell you right barrier and adhesive. Otherwise when the wood expands and contracts it will crack tile, this barrier also will give the option of fairly easy change back to wood. 30 years contractor.

Tile are very susceptible to cracking on uneven floors. Even on a wood base, I would use a sealant and then mastic (cement). You didn't mention whether the wood floor is original "sub floor" (probably plywood) or hardwood. If the former, you should check that the floor is adequately based in the joists (screws not nails) to prevent movement and cracking.<br><b>References : </b><br>home.ipoline.com/house/im-floor-tile.htm As a fomer contractor, I would advise you to inspect the base of the floor after removing the carpet.
