Default Solid Flooring over Carpet - Part Deux

On 5/24/2008 1:21 PM CatWoman spake thus:

I messed up this question yesterday, so got advice about everything
except what I need - which is:
What types of solid flooring can I temporarily install over flat
Industrial Carpet, which can not be removed. The Temporary floor need
last only 6 to 8 months, but should protect the ugly carpet. No need
to worry about tripping hazards, etc.
I only want to know what stuff, if any, can go over carpet on a
temporary basis.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!
PS - an easy DIY would be a really good thing!


Not sure if this fits your need, but it seems to me that if you put down
some underlayment first (OSB or similar), you could put just about
anything over it. The underlayment could be screwed down to the real
floor to make it easily removeable.
