hey everyone, new here, with plenty of questions my significant other and I are in the process of buying our first home, and we have an offer in on a house that we, of course, hope is accepted. the house is in good condition, with brand new marble tile throughout all the common areas- which should be a plus, but the tile is a very shiny grey/pink/beige color! it's truly very ugly :/
So, we were hoping to install laminate flooring in the home (assuming we end up with this house!) I was wondering if we could install the laminate over top of the hideous marble tiles - i don't think moisture would be a problem, but what about sound? will the tiles make it louder than normal to walk on? also, would it ruin the marble, if we would to want to remove the laminate at a later time and expose the tiles again? in the end, marble tiles seem to be "worth" more to buyers than laminate, but i don't know- these ones are so ugly!
so, any thoughts and insights would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
