Laying new Vinyl on top of old vinyl? Help, advice, information, answers and tips on all types of flooring from laminate and carpet to timber and vinyl

[Nichola Dare]

We want to replace the vinyl floor covering in our kitchen but would like to know if we can lay 'new' over 'old'. The old vinyl is undamaged, flat and EXTREEEEEEMLY well stuck down.

Nichola Dare,
Success will depend on whether the existing vinyl is the cushion floor type.
If you are fitting a one piece sheet why not try it without glueing it down. If this does not work then you will have to remove the old vinyl.
