No, the sub-floor must always be dry, level, dry, clean and firm. Before laying the laminate, ensure that the sub-floor does not spring or bounce and cannot be pushed in when a load is applied. Carpeting is generally not a suitable sub-floor for laying laminate flooring and must be removed before laying the laminate.
