Can laminate flooring be installed on carpets, rugs?
According to the instructions given by the manufacturer, carpets, rugs or any other coverings of a textile base, are not a good base to place laminate flooring on it. So, the laying of laminate flooring on this type of coverings is not possible. It is recommended to remove this kind of coverings prior to the installation of the laminate flooring. The layer that makes the textile compound is very flexible and not hard. A installation of laminate flooring can suffer from big loads and efforts. If the support flooring is irregular and not hard, the joints between the planks tend to suffer a lot, going out of shape and even breaking.
