While you can lay tile directly over a concrete slab using thin-set adhesive, donât make the mistake of applying tile directly to a plywood subfloor. No matter how firm the subfloor; the plywood will expand and contract at a different rate as the tile, causing cracks to develop in the grout lines or tiles over time.
If the subfloor is solid and the existing tile is solid, you could tile right over it but I don't recommend doing it that way. If you insist, at least put a layer of luanne board over the existing and then build on top of that. You are definitely adding extra weight on the joists if the floor is not on a slab.
