All the web sources say if you put down a vapor barrier first pergo is ok. No carpet over laminate. On the face of it installing new carpet over the old carpet does have some advantages. Pergo floors are more than just beautiful and durable they re also easy to install.

Remove the laminate if you pay someone 1 sf to remove and dispose. Have never had any issues this would be my first attempt at putting it over an existing pergo floor. If you have an old slate floor and you don t like the look of it anymore but you don t want the work and expense of ripping it out one easy solution is to lay a floating floor over it. And if the existing carpet was glued down not tacked it can be a huge time saver to lay the new carpet over the old.

Some have been directly on a new wood subfloor some over existing ceramic tile. If you really can t get the carpet up you will have to put down another plywood sub floor over the carpet and then install the pergo on that. Tile would be too cold. If you do someone is going to brain themselves because of the unstable footing.

If you re laying pergo over concrete remove all carpet trim and other things covering the sub floor to expose the concrete underneath. Floating floors are not attached to the subfloor in any way but merely sit on top of it. The builder doesn t think you can lay pergo on concrete and is pushing carpet. Even if you ve never installed a floor before it s easy to put new floors in your home in less time with just a few simple tools.

If your pergo floors do not come with underlayment then it s important that you purchase it and lay it over your subfloor before installing your new pergo floor.

Pergo can be installed directly over most hard surface flooring. I have installed pergo or similar type products in many rooms of my home.
