My parents place the 3 bedrooms last time they put those rubber tiles when it was first build like 36 years ago. The last time they use those glue to stick the square rubber tiles onto the concrete floor

When they put those, they fill up the level of the room floor to be the same as the living room which hard marble tiles

Now I wanna replace the marble tiles, previously I was told I cannot hack cause the cement floor was too thick if I hack, i might damage the neighbours downstairs. So I was wondering what are my options to replace them

If I wanna do an overlay what can I use? Just wood laminates ? Or can I use the those big rubber sheets that they use to cover the hospital ward floor? Or can i overlay with tiles?

Any suggestions? Will it be easy to remove the old glue below the rubber tiles ? They been there for 30+ years

How much would it cost ?

Thanks in advance

I don't understand why cannot hack. For 30years rubber tiles might be tough to remove and hacking is the best solution to it. If you are doing only for bedroom only, then the floor level cannot match the living area. Hence, it is prefer to hack all. PM me if you need to know further
