Hybrid flooring over lino

[Chels151]

I have hybrid flooring to install. Currently there is a lino over the top of the concrete. Is it best to leave the lino down or remove & clean the concrete?

Hello @Chels151 

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community. It's sensational to have you join us and thanks for sharing your question about your hybrid flooring installation.

It's best to remove the linoleum that is currently on the floor. By removing the linoleum you'll get a totally flat floor, and you can be sure that nothing will be interfering with the installation of your hybrid flooring. You'll also be able to see if any mould has grown under the linoleum, this gives you the perfect opportunity to thoroughly clean the floors surface. If there is no damage to the floors surface and no filling to be done on surface cracks. You should be able to install the hybrid flooring with no issues.
