Hi, just found this forum. Hoping you all can help and this isn't as crazy as it sounds. We are going to install sheet vinyl flooring in a mobile home manufactured in 1960 on a campsite we recently purchased. The living room has thin, glued carpeting that literally is like the surface of a pool table. Like, it's thinner than underlayment for plank flooring would be. It just came apart when I tried pulling some of it up, and the backing that remained would need more scraping to remove than what I'm willing to do. Plus, I'm sure the tiling in the adjoining kitchen is full of asbestos.
So, I'm wondering, can we just install the vinyl sheet directly over the carpeted section? I'm pretty sure I can deal with the transition to the kitchen tile after pulling up the trim piece, but I don't know if the vinyl adhesive would work over the carpet. This is in a camper, and just needs to work, not have to look Homes & Garden.
Thanks
