I have an existing hardwood floor. Its in good condition, but I don't particularly like hardwood. Its cold, its slippery, and its hard. Its also very noisy, especially since I have a toddler.
I was thinking of putting a floating cork floor over the existing hardwood, possibly with some underlayment. At least in the living room and dining room; I was going to avoid the kitchen, since my understanding is that type of floor doesn't deal well with water, although I will need some kind of transition there (the dining room is mostly open to the kitchen).
My reasons for wanting to put it over the existing floor are that, it saves a lot of labor, and should I ever want to sell the place hardwood is more valuable. I could just take out the floating cork floor, put the round part of the trim back down, and voila: hardwood floors.
I haven't been able to find much information about this, other than people sayings its possible. Are there any obvious problems with doing it this way? Any gotchas? Would it have a tendency to trap moisture between the hardwood and cork?
