Laminate Floor onto v low pile carpet?

Damien Kelly
4 years ago

Hi all, not quite a home question but i'm starting a small business and want to install some laminate wood effect flooring (physio business). There is currently v short pile 'office style' carpet in the room but as ill have a 5 year lease and need to return it to it original condition eventually i'm wondering is it possible to install laminate directly onto low pile carpet? I have read some articles saying yes and others no. it would be a 'click' in type with no glue.... i'm wondering if the carpet would do the job of the underlay anyway for shock absorption etc.


Welcome any advice or tips if any of you have experience in this?


Many thanks

    Yes it would work, but best if you buy a cheap underlay. You can find very cheap underlay on Ebay for like £1 per sqm. If you are in a flat you need to look at the terms of your lease though. BTW we sell laminate at £14+Vat happy to help you with that.

    to be perfectly honest sorry but i dont see why you need underlay. the low pile carpet will act as an underlay so lay straight on...
