Whats up,
I just bought a home and want to put ceramic tiles in one of the rooms. I pulled up the rug and along with that came a layer of old hard tiles. Under the tiles is a concrete floor in good shape with some black glue left over from the tiles. Can I just put down thinset and tiles or do I need Ditra or Red Guard first. The floor is straight and in good shape. The only thing about the floor that I would have to prep is removing the black glue and if necessary fill in some tiny holes which are from those wooden brads when the carpet was installed.
