Can I Lay Vinyl Over Carpet

Obviously i will take the carpet up first but was wondering if i can leave the old carpet underlay down and put the vinyl over that.

Can i lay vinyl over carpet.

Vinyl planks vinyl planks are designed to resemble hardwood and can be found in a number of wood look textures such as hand scraped wirebrushed and distressed. I intend to lay vinyl on a floor that currently has carpet on it. If not can i lay the vinyl straight onto the floorboards or will it need some other kind of underlay. It needs to be fairly secure and i want to prevent the edges from curling up.

Any ideas on how best to adhere the vinyl. The most common type of floors floated over carpet are vinyl and laminate given they are budget friendly and feature a simple interlocking system of installation. One of the evolutions of the do it yourself industry has been the creation of easy to use and easy to install products such as vinyl plank flooring. Installing allure flooring over plush indoor carpeting should not be attempted because as you walk on the vinyl flooring the carpeting underneath will give significantly.

If the carpet is not smooth and level chances are the vinyl planks won t have the required support and won t click properly together or they may squeak and make noises when you walk on it. If no you are in luck and the carpet was properly installed on an even subfloor and you can install vinyl flooring over it. I need to know how to adhere it to the carpet for an extended period of time 6 months without damaging the carpet when it is removed. Any suggestions would be appreciated as i have to get this done on the weekend.
