Installing hardwood over vinyl floor
Hardwood floors can be installed over vinyl and the vinyl can serve as the vapor retarder. If there are several layers of vinyl, then it is best that vinyl be removed. Many of the older linoleum and vinyl floor coverings contained asbestos. Should you decide to remove an older floor covering and have concerns about asbestos you can go to www.doityourself.com/home-safety/asbestos.htm to order a test kit.
