I'm taking out carpet - under it is a layer of linoleum and it is down on a cement slab. It is tight and down solid.... is there really any reason to remove it? Advantages/Disadvantages???? Any advice welcome
There is probably no reason to remove it. If you follow the flooring manufacturers instructions you should get good results.
The floating engineered wood flooring will go over perfectly , w/o a problem. If your engineered wood needs to be glued down, you need to make sure the glue recommended for the wood is compatible to adhere to and won t react to your lino or vinyl. It d be helpful to find out what it is since there is a difference in the 2 products. Any questions you can e mail me through my avatar. GL
Do not remove the linoleum. You do not need the plastic bubble underlayment for a floating hard wood floor if you have a good grade of linoleum down. The linoleum will work as good or better than the plastic underlayment.
