re: Vinyl Vs. Hardwood

I have sheet vinyl flooring already on the floor. I’m thinking about installing the vinyl plank flooring over the sheet vinyl flooring in lieu of ripping up the existing flooring and using a pad. In other words, the sheet flooring will act as the pad.
Does that sound OK?

Gumbeaux,
The vinyl is the top layer, but the underneath is pvc type material and has very little give or flexibility. If the floor is level you can lay it over the existing floor with no problem. If the floor has humps or dips you will have a problem. Its going to depend on that more than the sheetvinyl you are going over.
If the floor humps and dips a water resistant laminate would work better. It is the opposite of LVP, where it has a harder outer layer and softer underneath. Laminate is much more forgiving in those situations.
