How to Install Laminate or Vinyl Plank Flooring over old Hardwood

Save yourself time and money by avoiding the need to remove old hardwood flooring before installing new material!

In this video we have an old house with a very weathered and damaged existing hardwood floor. We've chosen to go with a laminate wide-plank flooring material to give this space a nice fresh and modern look.

Rather than spending hours removing the old hardwood, we install our new flooring right over top of it. But before you attempt an install like this, there are a few important steps that you should take to prepare the old floor and make sure it'll serve as a solid base.

This video also shows how we create seamless transitions between rooms. This technique can really add a professional look to your new floors!
