Carpet padding is far too thick and the planks if they re click type will separate when walked on for any period of time.
Can you lay vinyl plank flooring over carpet padding.
It can go right over top of it.
The most common type of floors floated over carpet are vinyl and laminate given they are budget friendly and feature a simple interlocking system of installation.
I need advise on vinyl plank.
Hi samy thanks for the question.
When installing vinyl plank flooring over existing floor materials underlayment may not be required but it can help with cushioning and sound reduction.
You cannot successfully put any hard surface floor over carpet.
You can install the luxury vinyl planks over the vinyl sheet as long as it is in good condition and level.
Vinyl planks are designed to resemble hardwood and can be found in a number of wood look textures such as hand scraped wirebrushed and distressed.
You shouldn t have any issues if you have had no moisture issues in the past.

I prefer no padding under vinyl plank flooring but some people will put a very think pad vapor barrier underneath.
Konecto was never intended to put over carpet.
The basic rule of thumb when checking to see if you can lay underlayment down on top of an installation is to check to see if your new finish product is reliant on movement for its structural.
Just be aware that any bumps or unlevel spots in the linoleum will be seen with a sheet vinyl over top of it.
