Can I lay vinyl self adhesive tile on an already existing vinyl floor, or do I need to remove the old vinyl?

That depends, do you want it to look good and last or do you just want to get it over with? I'd remove the old vinyl floor and prep your floor for the new tile.Can I lay vinyl self adhesive tile on an already existing vinyl floor, or do I need to remove the old vinyl?
the best would be to put an underlayment down such as 1/4 inch a/c plywood. if you dont want that you can lay them over existing vinyl it must be clean, smooth dry and solid. no curling edges etc. do not rip up the existing vinyl it will give you a bigger mess and no advantages it may also be bad for your health. DO NOT USE MORE ADHESIVE the adhesive on the back of the tile is the best you can get thats why it stays tacky. adding adhesive will make them slide as opposed to making them stick. to install the underlayment you use 1 1/4 exterior screws and patch the seems and screw heads. if the tile is a thicker one you do not have to worry about the pattern of your vinyl coming through.Can I lay vinyl self adhesive tile on an already existing vinyl floor, or do I need to remove the old vinyl?
My husband has done this before. If the vinyl floor seems to be solidly in place, clean it well before you lay down the new flooring. He learned from experience that you have to buy extra adhesive, don't just use the adhesive on the tile because it won't stick well enough and the tile will move. Good luck!
Remove the old vinyl
It would be smart to do that. You'll get bubbles if you don't.
yes u can, but make sure that it is thouroughly cleaned and dried. also its a good idea to use an adhesive anyway
Remove the old. The texture of the old floor will show thru.
yes but.......if the old vinyl is solid guled down yes, if the old vinyl is only area glued down then take it up.....
