Considering putting in tile.
If it's ceramic tile you are going with then first you need to see if
there
is any play in the floor. Jump up and down on the floor, if there is an
excessive
amount of movement then don't bother tileing, the grout will crack every
few
months then eventually the tile will lift, if there is very little movement
you're ok to tile. Use a ¼ inch trowel if there is very little or no
movement.
Make sure you use Latex Modified Thinset to glue it down with. It has got to
be Latex Modified and for use on floors only or it will not adhere to the
surface .
Prep the floor by removing all glue and debris. If the floor has a sheen or
flossy
surface then dull with belt sander, now you are ready to tile.

I was wanting to replace the carpet in my Express Cruiser with some tile.
It
has a fiberglass flooring under the carpet that the carpet is glued to. It
can easily be pulled up. I was wanting to go to Home Depot and get some
tile
and tile that area. I would be surprised to find that I could use just the
standard materials for laying tile that you would use in a home. Is there
some type of special preparation I need to do to the surface and a certain
type of glue, or can I just use what one would normally use to tile there
home?
Thanks
