Laying Vinyl tiles over carpet
« on: August 07, 2007 07:34:11 AM »

I know it's an unusual question but I am renting a unit that has carpet
which I am allergic to so I am planning on putting down self adhesive
vinyl tiles. The catch is the owner will only allow me to lay over the
top of the carpet that is already there as she will not allow it to be
removed to lay the vinyl tiles onto the concrete floor. As I can't
imagine the self adhesive tiles sticking too well to the carpet (even if
they did stick they may leave a residue on the carpet from the glue?)I
came up with a thought when I saw the foam type of underlay used for
floating or laminate floors. I am wondering if I laid this underlay over
the carpet, then stuck self adhesive vinyl tiles onto this underlay,
would the outcome be successful? Huh

Regards,
Debbie
