You are probably better off the remove the old laminate before you install new laminate. That will prevent damage to your new laminate in case the old laminate ever comes loose. Also, laminate edging strips are made to fit over one layer of laminate....so if you have two layers, the edge strips will probably not cover properly.
Just to add to the confusion, my "formica man" will not install over existing laminate. They will refuse the job.
This is not a good idea as the existing laminate may come loose and lift when you apply the new laminate, wasting both time and money.
