I have two layers of vinyl tile on my kitchen floor. would it be wise to add a third layer, or should I remove the first two before installing the third one?

    I think it would be in your best interest to remove the other layers.

    I agree with Janet- I think you should remove the other layers. You could end up with an unwanted uneven floor .

      Thank you for the comment. I'll have to remove the 2 layers.


      Appreciatively,

    I am not an expert in this area but I would most certainly remove the lower layers as this will likely affect the finish of the new tiles. You can always get an expert in for a "free quote" on the work to gain their opinion.

    Thank you, Bernadette. I appreciate your taking the time to respond. I'll have to remove both layers when I remodel.


    All my best,
