: : :NO!!!! We tried and all the edging does not adhere. Put a sub floor down. Then make sure the glue is clear before installing.
: : We gave up and put a subfloor over the durastone and replaced it with their ultima sheeting. At the installers expense.

: : I am putting Durastone down in my kitchen and was wondering it it would be OK to install it over my old sheet vinyl floor, since it is glued down very well. Also, I plan on putting some Durastone in another area over concrete, which I heard does not adhere very well to concrete - would it be best to put a layer of wood down first in that location? Thanks for your help!

: Why at the installers expense? Who told him to go over the old vinyl? Why was the job undersold as to make the installer eat it. Who ever specified the materials to be used from the retail store is the one that needed to eat it. The installer only installs what he is sent out to do. They in no way fund any part of the job, went they are installing on a retailers behalf.
