Any Problem Installing Laminate Flooring Directly (no Underlay) Over Vinyl Kitchen Floor That Is Over Dry Wood
February 19th, 2010 | 
Author: The salesman says to use a plastic sheet and/or thin foam underlay but offers no persuasive reason to do so other than the floor might be quieter. My subfloor is dry wood over a full basement. I can see no valid reason for the added underlay and expect to install without it unless someone can offer a good reason for its use.

Can I Lay Vinyl Flooring Over Carpet Underlay?
I intend to lay vinyl on a floor that currently has carpet on it. 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? If not can I lay the vinyl straight onto the floorboards or will it need some other kind of underlay? Any suggestions would be appreciated as I have to get this done on the weekend!
Can I Use A Carpet As Underlay For A Carpet?
Hi,
we are thinking about getting a new carpet for our bedroom as the current one is over 10yrs old and as we have 3 cats and 2 dogs you can imagin ehow much air is stuck in it.
Looking at the price of underlay it is passible to get a carpet cheaper than underlay. Underlay for the room would cost £80 but i can get a cheap carpet for £36.
my question is can i use the cheap carpet as underlay instead of underlay? i figure as it is a bedroom and not walked on all that often it shouldn’t really make much difference.
