Installing Konecto Over Existing Resilient Floors:

Resilient Tile & Sheet Vinyl Floors:
The floor must be in good condition and thoroughly bonded to the structural floor... The exception is that any tile or sheet that is of a soft cushion construction must be removed. Note: A layer of resilient or soft underlayments like lauan may compromise the inherent strength of Konecto. Do not insall over more than one layer of existing flooring, to prevent indentation or possible stress on the adhesive seams.

Ceramic Tile:
If laying Konecto over existing ceramic tile, it may be necessary to skim coat the grout lines with a floor leveler. If you install Konecto over an existing floor that has an embossing or grout line on  it, Konecto / Metroflor recommends that you skim coat with a floor leveler if the embossing or grout line is greater than 1/8" (3 mm).

Asbestos Tile:
If you have asbestos tile and don't want to pay for an expensive asbestos abatement job. Konecto is the perfect answer. Any loose or damaged tiles should be patched prior to installing Konecto over the asbestos floor. Never sand asbestos floors from any floor manufacturer, if you think the floor may have asbestos.

Concrete Subfloors:
Check for any dips in the subfloor that can create a void underneath the floor that will cause stress on the plank seams when walking on it. If so fill in and level subfloor with embossing leveler. Konecto is waterproof so it can be installed directly over concrete floors in the basement. If your concrete floor has any bumps or burrs of concrete sticking up, simply knock them off with a hammer and chisel, then fill in the hole with a leveler.
