Kitchen floor - can I lay linoleum tiles over the original linoleum?
by Dina S
My kitchen is very large and has many areas that will need to be trimmed. I was thinking of layingthe self stick vinyl tiles one area at a time, maybe the dinette area first, then the hallway entrance, and then the appliance and island area.

I think it depends on your new vinyl and the state of the original linoleum. Look at the instructions and information with the tiles you are buying.

You can do it but it always best to strip the old flooring out and get back to a clean slate. The self stick tiles will get you a year or so depending on traffic and water. We usually only do this when we are flipping a house....looks good to get it sold on a budget but not as long term solution

You might want to look at a "floating" vinyl product like the traffic master Allure. this product sticks to itself and is very DIY friendly. by not sticking to your existing floor when the time comes to get a real more durable floor like tile..the demo will be much easier. http://www.homedepot.com/h_d1/N-5yc1v/R-100594661/h_d2/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10053&langId=-1&keyword=allure+planks+flooring&storeId=10051
