Can cork tile be installed over sheet vinyl or vinyl tiles?

We do not recommend this. Residue built up on the surface of the vinyl could interfere with proper bonding of the adhesive, causing it to delaminate over time.

If you are set on installing cork Parquet tile you may follow one of these options:

• Apply a new sub-floor made of plywood
• "Flood" with Portland base cement floor leveler
• Remove the existing vinyl

Creating a new sub-floor is often costly and time consuming. We recommend in this case that you use Natural Cork Floating Floor as it can be installed directly over the existing floor. While a Floating Floor is a more costly material, it will save you time and money on the sub-floor preparation. Just make sure that your existing floor is level.
