Can You Lay Carpet Over Pergo

Thanks for any insights.

Can you lay carpet over pergo. If you don t add underlayment to your pergo floors you ll violate the floor s warranty. 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. Floating floors are not attached to the subfloor in any way but merely sit on top of it. We don t want the maintenance burden of carpet next to an outside door.

On the face of it installing new carpet over the old carpet does have some advantages. Some have been directly on a new wood subfloor some over existing ceramic tile. Pergo can be installed directly over most hard surface flooring. If you re laying pergo over concrete remove all carpet trim and other things covering the sub floor to expose the concrete underneath.

The builder doesn t think you can lay pergo on concrete and is pushing carpet. Before laying pergo it s a good idea to smooth out the concrete to make sure that you ve got the flattest surface possible for the new installation. Pergo floors make it easy because. Sorry but this is a no brainer.

Does anyone know if you can install new pergo over existing pergo. It saves on the cost and labor of pulling up and disposing of the existing carpet keeping carpet waste materials out of the landfill. If you do someone is going to brain themselves because of the unstable footing. 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 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. No carpet over laminate. And then lay the carpet. Anyone have experience with pergo on concrete.

Pergo floors are more than just beautiful and durable they re also easy to install. Tile would be too cold. 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. All the web sources say if you put down a vapor barrier first pergo is ok.

Have never had any issues this would be my first attempt at putting it over an existing pergo floor. I have installed pergo or similar type products in many rooms of my home.
