does it install over tile floors easily?

Very easily in my case. I used a hammer drill and quality masonry bit. Took approximately 10 mins.

The answer is probably yes. If the tile is over concrete, then you'll need to drill through the tiles into the concrete and use longer anchor bolts masonry screws. If it is tile over wood, then you still need to drill through the tile and anchor to the wood with bolts. The Nightlocks I installed were mounted on concrete and I used long Tapcon masonry screws.

Yes. Mark the holes using the plate, drill holes using a masonry bit (if over concrete slab, continue using masonry bit, if over wood subfloor, switcht to wood drill bit), tap in the anchors (use soapy water to help ease the installation), then screw in the plate.

I can't say for sure because all my floors are wood. But I can tell you that you will need to drill into your tile to install plastic anchors for the screws to fasten into. Drilling tile can be tricky - it's all about having a sharp (i.e. - new) masonry drill bit, and a drill motor or screw gun that can put out some high RPMs. Most guns will do that. Mine has a setting for driving screws (low speed more torque) and a setting for drilling (high speed and less torque). If you've got a good bit and decent drill motor you should be fine. The product itself is easy to install once the holes are drilled and it works great. Good luck! I can't say for sure because all my floors are wood.

I have two installed. One over a tile floor, one over marble. No issues on the installation. I was careful in using a new/correct drill bit; it is certainly possible to crack a brittle tile; though that was not my experience.

No it doesnt. You would literally have to kick it to get it to move on tile floor & hardwood floors.

Yes. Overall the floor attachment indeed doesn't work very well. The wood one works well on tile.

Yes. The FloorMate does a great job on tile, not so great with the grout though.

I don't have hard wood floors, but it's a breeze to move on our tile. It's also super easy to pick up (not with the baby in it, obvi) so if you need to move it from location to location it's perfectly simple. It will not roll unless you move it. I adore this high chair!

Not as easily as I would like. It gets stuck in the grout lines. If your tile doesn't have a lot of space between them, it would be a nice stool for you. I love mine, but I just use it by my bathroom vanity.

We originally thought we wanted a thicker tile too. Glad we didn't. Would have been much harder to install given all the cuts we had to make. There is a very slight cushion. Dropping a fork from counter height would not puncher the tile surface. But since ours is in a home office, we did put carpeted stickons on the base of our file cabinets so we could move them later without worry. Also, surface has a slight texture with a shine. We put it over concrete. Sticks very well.

Yes! Very flat, they slide on tile easily. Recommend adherening it to the floor or use over carpet.

Yes. You can install on wood subfloor. I suggest laying mat on floor first. Then putting mortar on top. You may have to chisel some of the floor out so the larger power wire does not cause tile to set uneven.

It comes with a hard floor squeegee attachment. It works on my tile and manufactured wood floor.

I don't know. I have hardwood floors thru out. Sorry! It glides pretty easy. I would think it would. But honestly can't say for sure.

It requires a mortar base which must be cured before you adhere the mat in mortar itself. We did this over our plywood subfloor;very easy.

Hi Sry i cant be much help. I can just tell you we installed it on plywood and then put tile mortar over it and applied tile and it works great!

It works very well over grout but the most important think to do is to make sure the grout and tile are very clean. Clean it with steel wool and tsp rinse with clean water each time and repeat 2 more times Good luck!

My husband and I just installed our door. Its great. There is like a 2" metal floor guide that sits just outside the opening that has two small rollers keeping the door bottom straight. Since this was our bathroom door and was being put on tile we skipped the step of screwing it in the 3 holes and attached it with a clear epoxy. Works great.

I used mine over concrete slab but tested them over hardwood and ceramic tile. They worked fine, no slippage. Although I can't say from personal experience, I would guess the carpet would have to be a very flat, low pile. I would also think that a workout with a lot of intense foot work might tend to separate the tiles.
