How To Lay Vinyl Flooring Over Vinyl. This video shows how I installed peel and stick vinyl flooring over existing vinyl flooring in our laundry room. 4608 cut out the vinyl planks and set it in place to start the installation process.
A thin layer of joint compound suitable for indoor use spread over the old vinyl floor will patch up any gaps or dents and the holes left by removing the broken bits of the old vinyl floor. I go step by step from the tools you need. Some people put down a chalk line through the middle of the floor to give themselves a guide.
Apply a layer of thin-set tile adhesive to the vinyl using a notched trowel.
Follow the instructions of your chose skim coat product and mix it with water and use a masonry trowel to spread it all over the entire floor. Hold down the next plank at the edge of the first plank and then bring it down to click it into place. Or just use a floating floor instead. Again with scissors snip a series of cuts all the way round the base of the pedestal being careful to not go too far in.
