        "text": "While it is sometimes technically possible to install new tile over existing flooring, it is often not the ideal approach for a high-quality, lasting renovation. Installing over existing surfaces can lead to an uneven finish, raise floor heights to undesirable levels, or create issues if the underlying material is not perfectly stable. For a luxury bathroom remodel, AKN Design Group typically recommends removing old flooring to ensure a proper, level subfloor and a secure installation. This commitment to craftsmanship ensures structural integrity and a flawless aesthetic.",
