Loose or hollow tile should be repaired before it is covered. Tack strip may require specialty fastening to avoid cracking tile. Glue-down carpet requires a smooth surface and compatible preparation. Carpet over tile raises the floor and may affect doors, transitions, stairs, and appliances. Removing the carpet later may leave fastener holes, adhesive, or damage in the tile.
