LVT or laminate on top of floorboards?

Hi All,

We want to replace the laminate flooring upstairs in our hallway and 3 bedrooms. Currently, the laminate is laid on top of fibre underlay which in turn is laid directly on top of floorboards. Can we lay click type LVT on top of the existing underlay or does it need to be laminate flooring?

Thanks
Daz

Laminate. Don’t lay LVT click on laminate underlay. Buy some quickstep impressive laminate. Great gear.

Our stair case is wooden too. It has a bull nose. How difficult would it be to laminate that too?
