Looking at overlaying Spanish floor tiles with modern floor tiles on our ground floor has anyone got experience with this was it successful? If so approx cost a contractor charges per M2

Also we are not keen on the existing tiles on our upper floors but cannot overlay due to existing tiles flush finished with stair landing is there a over paint or something that can be used as a cover up of existing Spanish  tiles?

If  you  cut bottom  of  external  doors be careful  as  there is a  step down  in most houses/  Apartment  for  what I can't  make out. Keep rain out I  guess. You will end up level  with  mostly  Marble threshold.  I  have Aluminium  back door with  no adjustment  on it but it up 125mm above tiled floor. I  will be looking for  Tiler to do Soluriam  in  new year.

Best  of luck 👍
