Whether you can install flooring over existing flooring is determined by the subfloor condition, the type of existing flooring, and the installation method required for the Durato product you are using. In general, the existing floor must be clean, flat, stable, and suitable as a substrate. Some flooring products and installation methods may allow installation over certain hard, level existing surfaces, while others may require removal of the old flooring. Because this can vary by product line and project conditions, the safest approach is to review the specific installation instructions for the selected Durato flooring and confirm compatibility before proceeding.
