It is generally not a recommended procedure. The abrasion of carpet on carpet will cause both layers to wear prematurely.

Can you lay carpet tiles over outdoor carpet?

It is possible to do but not a recommended practice Carpet tiles are designed to be installed over a stable surface. Even if you use one of the solvent based outdoor adhesives there will be some movement of one carpet against the other. This abrading will result in premature separation of the layers and you will be constantly trying to re adhere sections of the floor as they come loose. The best procedure is to remove the existing carpet, prep the surface & then install the tiles.


When tiling up against existing carpet is there something that goes in between them or does the tile just but up against the carpet?
