Best Answer

Yes as long as the vinyl is in good condition without any cracks, tears, or bubbles. You will need to make sure the old is only one layer. The floor will need to be stripped and embossed so any pattern will not telegraph through to your new floor.

As long as the only linoleum is not peeling or loose go ahead and put the new one right on top of it this way you avoid the risk of asbestos and all the mess of riping up the old floor.

Do you have to remove old linoleum before putting down new vinyl tiles?

What is under the linoleum? If it is stuck down well, you can put new tiles on there once. However, if you get to "the bottom of things," you may be able to fill in any dips in the floor and correct any other issues that will make your vinyl tiles look even better. It will take elbow grease and a crowbar and some major adhesive remover to take off the linoleum, but it can be done. If you choose to tile over the linoleum, make sure it is super clean and free of any grease.

What is the chemical formula for linoleum?

Does vinyl flooring come in sheets?

Vinyl and linoleum are not the same. Vinyl is an artificial product. Linoleum is natural. One of the biggest differences is that linoleum is much more durable. The pattern for linoleum goes all the way through so it lasts longer. The pattern for vinyl is printed on the top so once it wears off, your floor looks old. Most flooring sheets these days are vinyl sheets.

NOS stands for New Old Stock. These are parts that have never been sold or installed and are still in new condition. These parts can be many years or decades old, but are still considered new but are very old. Thus the term NOS.
