Hardwood Over Vinyl

Can we install a hardwood floor over an existing vinyl floor?

Installing hardwood over vinyl is not a trouble-free option. It really depends on how well the vinyl adheres to the subfloor and whether it is cushiony or not. If the vinyl does not properly adhere to the subfloor, it could cause the wood floor to separate from the subfloor. If the vinyl is cushiony, it could cause the hardwood floor to squeak. For best results, a wood floor should be installed over a clean, flat, sturdy subfloor that meets the manufacturer's recommendation. See our installation guides for more details.
