I am thinking of replacing my laminate flooring in my lounge with carpet. Do I need to remove the laminate first or can the new carpet be installed straight onto the existing laminate flooring?
You should remove the laminate flooring and install the carpet directly on the subfloor. Question: We have recently installed wall-to-wall carpeting and thought it would be a good idea to place a couple of smaller carpets over the heavily-traveled areas. Unfortunately, it seems the smaller units are anxious to escape and constantly creep and curl despite numerous efforts to weigh them down. Answer: There is an under padding which you can get at most stores selling carpets that will hold the smaller rugs in place. It is a thin fabric-type that is sticky on both sides. It will not leave any residue, but will adhere to both the wall to wall carpeting and the smaller carpet on top. It is called “Arret – Stop”.
