Rug pads for vinyl and vinyl plank floors.
Vinyl flooring over carpet pad.
The best choice for a rug pad under a rug on a vinyl and linoleum floor is a recycled felt rug pad or natural rubber rug pad.
This is also wrong.
The recycled felt rug pad can be used under rugs that do not tend to slip.
If you reuse your thick carpet padding your floor will be too bouncy and it may damage the locking system.
This pad should be laid down right over the vinyl but not over the carpet runners.
The carpet just goes right over the top of the pad.
Since there is no rubber in this rug pad it does not prevent slipping.
Pay special attention to your warranty when installing underlayment.
Given that most vinyl recommend no rubber here are our non rubber alternatives.
Most vinyl flooring manufacturers recommend using a non rubber product while some will recommend using only rubber.
You can lay vinyl flooring over it.
Just be aware that any bumps or unlevel spots in the linoleum will be seen with a sheet vinyl over top of it.
