installing laminate tiles underlayment

In modular home I removed original dining room carpet and pad. My kitchen has original vinyl. Putting laminate tile on both with 3mm underlayment (Blue Vertex). Do I need to remove the vinyl from the kitchen first.
Thanks

No, you don't. Only time you would need to remove it is if you had a height issue between the two rooms.

laminate tiles

No the only difference is the height of the vinyl. So once I put on the underlayment, I can just go from dining room to kitchen?

Laminate, carpet, tile??

F

I am considering installing a laminate flooring to my living room and hall. The bedrooms are carpeted and the bathrooms and kitchen are tiled. My husband thinks this will be too many types of flooring in our small 1500 sq. ft. home. What do you think? I am not sure I would want the laminate in the bedrooms. Carpet just seems cozier. Would it be better to leave the carpet in the hall, to ease the transition? Another option I have considered is to put the laminate in the living room, hall and master. Then, leave the office and guest room carpeted? Anyone have an opinion? :confused:Read More

Cement floor under 20 year old carpet level?

Hi! I just got the brilliant idea of installing wood laminate flooring in my LR and DR. They are connected with no areas to cut out and nothing too difficult. Right now there is original carpet in there. I looked underneath and there is padding over concrete underneath. When I pull this up, what are the chances that the cement is level enough to do this? It is a townhouse about 25 years old. I can't imagine being able to level it myself if it isn't even, that seems like more work than I'm capable of. And if I get the kind of laminate with the padding already attached to it, does it go right down over the cement? (It is dry there as I have a basement underneath.) And, does it need to be glued or can I just snap it together? AND can I just use a compound miter saw for the whole job or do I need another type of saw? Thanks!Read More
