Can vinyl flooring be installed over existing flooring?

How do I maintain vinyl flooring?
Use a soft broom or a vacuum cleaner without a rotating brush to remove dust, and clean with a slightly damp cloth and a cleaner suited for vinyl to maintain its appearance and durability.
What is the difference between vinyl floor covering and laminate floor covering?
Vinyl floor covering is water-resistant and ideal for moisture-prone areas, while laminate floor covering offers a wood-like appearance but is less tolerant of moisture.
What thickness should vinyl flooring be?
The ideal thickness for vinyl flooring is generally between 4 mm and 8 mm. Thicker models offer better sound insulation and increased durability, especially for high-traffic areas.
What’s the difference between vinyl flooring and PVC flooring?
Vinyl and PVC (polyvinyl chloride) are often confused because they are part of the same plastic material family. However, vinyl is generally softer and more pleasant to the touch, while PVC may be more rigid. Both are water-resistant, but vinyl is often preferred for its flexibility and ability to mimic different materials.
How do I choose the right vinyl flooring?
When selecting vinyl flooring, consider the product thickness, the protective layer, the type of installation system (click or adhesive), as well as the patterns and finishes that will complement your décor. For detailed advice, check out our vinyl flooring buying guide.
