In some cases you can also install carpet tiles over existing wood tile or vinyl flooring so long as the existing flooring is no more than an inch thick.

Carpet to put over floor tile.

Carpet is another type of flooring that can be successfully installed over ceramic tile. Depending on what type of carpet or padding is selected it will add some height to the floor. Position a knee kicker about 1 inch away from the wall and push the teeth into the carpet. In this case the carpet is simply applied over the tiles without nailing or glue kind of like a wall to wall rug.

Carpet can be laid over tiles as a temporary measure for example for tenants wanting a warmer environment while preserving the original flooring. Now it glides freely over the carpet and makes a statement in our family room. The friction underneath made it difficult to close. Hook the carpet ends over the tackless strip beginning at one corner of the room.

One problem we encountered after installing carpet over the tile floor was the pocket door to the bathroom. Carpet tiles can adhere to concrete plywood or particleboard subfloors. Also the tack strip holes will all have to be drilled because the ceramic will shatter if you try to nail directly into it. Instead of trying to fix it i decided to build a sliding barn door to go over the opening instead.
