Can wood flooring be laid over vinyl flooring?
If you are you are referring to tongue and groove flooring such as Pergo then the answer is yes. You may however want to first lay lu-on (not sure of spelling but it is a thin sheet of wood) to insure that the floor is level.
How do you install vinyl sheet flooring?
Answer from Choices (http://www.choicesflooring.com.au/vinyl/) Generally, cushion vinyl is laid loosely so any imperfections in the floor don't show through over time. It can also be glued down, but the flooring needs to be completely level. Vinyl tiles or planks are glued down so the surface needs to be completely level, which is done by applying a self- leveler to the floor if required.

What flooring can you put on the concrete?
Vinyl flooring is becoming increasingly popular with homeowners, with sales reaching record highs. This is because vinyl flooring has unique advantages. It's not difficult to introduce and keep up with, is durable, and gives an agreeable surface to stroll on. Vinyl flooring can also be laid over plywood, concrete, or hardwood. Additionally, it can be installed over existing vinyl plank tile; however, there are better ideas than this if you already have two or more layers. The wear layer of some vinyl products even comes with warranties of up to 15 years. The time it lasts depends on the material's quality, just like it does with any other flooring.

Can vinyl be laid over laminate floors?
No! Bad idea! Laminate is a floating floor that has to dissipate any moisture that comes up through it. If you put vinyl flooring over it, the laminate can't "breath" and it will respond to the humidity by swelling up and buckling.
Can vinyl cushion flooring be laid over glued down vinyl flooring?
Yes - but a qualified yes. If you are talking about the 12" square vinyl floor tiles that are still securely fastened then you can go right over them. If they old tiles are lifting or loose then the answer would be no. If only one or two tiles are loose then you can remove those ones - and with a patching / floor leveling compound fill in the voids so that the entire floor is smooth and level. If you can not find a patching compound try using a modified latex thinset (for tiles). It sticks to most things and is relatively cheap and will last longer than the sheet vinyl floor. If many of the tiles are loose - remove them all. The old adhesive is starting to fail and will cause problems after you install the new floor. There are several ways to fasten sheet vinyl flooring the most common being glued down. Check the manufacturer's instructions on what the acceptable substrates are. I would highly recommend first washing (to degrease) then scuff sanding the old tiles to promote adhesion.
Can vinyl flooring be laid over laminate flooring underlay?

Can vinyl flooring be put on top of laminate wood flooring?
Yes, laminate flooring can be laid over vinyl flooring, however, there are some considerations. First of all, inspect your vinyl flooring for any damage. Acordian style tears will create a "bump" in your finished laminate floor, which will be visibly noticeable, and it won't wear well. Large tears that result in missing pieces of vinyl will cause a "dip" in your finished laminate floor, which is also not a desireable result. Either and/or both of these problem areas will also compromise the integrity of your laminate flooring, and may also cause weak joints.

Save Money With DIY Vinyl Flooring?
Do-it-yourself vinyl flooring projects are easy to complete at home. They are also a great way to save money. Hiring a professional could cost several hundred dollars just for the labor; when the cost of the flooring itself and supplies are added, the total bill is high. Vinyl flooring is the preferred type of covering for bathrooms, kitchens and laundry rooms. It is easy to maintain and cheap to buy. When compared with tile, it may last longer in some cases. Several types of tile are expensive, but so fragile they will crack easily. Vinyl flooring is durable and comes in a sheet, so it is much less of a hassle to install. To find the best deal on vinyl flooring, shop online first. Most retail stores and home improvement stores have vinyl flooring, but their prices tend to be higher than online warehouse prices. Warehouses also ship directly to homes. Supplies for installation may have to be purchased at a home improvement store. Check the websites of popular manufacturers of supplies and tools for printable coupons. Also check coupon sites such as Coupon Cabin for in-store discounts. When coupons are used to purchase supplies, the cost is much less. This will require spending time doing research, but saving money is well worth it. The next step is to find a good installation guide online. Many informational sites such as eHow and InfoBarrel provide online DIY guides for vinyl floor installation, including instructions and tips. Removing old flooring may be the most difficult task. Depending on what type of flooring already is laid, professional assistance may be needed or equipment may need to be rented. Removing a tile floor, especially very old flooring, is a difficult task and requires either breaking or chiseling out the tiles. Don't attempt to do this without the help of a professional, as it may be dangerous. It is important to avoid laying flooring over an already-existing tile or vinyl material. Always remove old flooring first. If flooring isn't removed, it will result in further problems and expenses. The key to keeping this project simple and cheap is to do everything right the first time.
