Overlay Flooring — Install New Floors Without Hacking Tiles

What Is Overlay Flooring?

Overlay flooring means installing new flooring directly on top of your existing floor — whether it's tiles, cement, vinyl, or even old parquet. No hacking, no dust clouds, no 2-week renovation nightmare.

Why Overlay Is So Popular

1. No mess — No hacking means no dust, no debris, no damaged walls
2. Faster — Most homes completed in 1 day (vs 5-10 days for hack-and-replace)
3. Cheaper — Save RM2-4/sqft on removal costs
4. Less disruption — You can often stay in your home during installation
5. No permit needed — Unlike tile hacking in condos/apartments

What Can You Overlay On?

Best Materials for Overlay

• SPC Flooring — #1 choice. Rigid core bridges minor imperfections. Click-lock = no glue on your existing tiles.
• Vinyl Plank — Good budget option. Thinner (2-3mm) so floor height change is minimal.
• Laminate — Works well but NOT suitable for wet areas or high-humidity rooms.

Cost Comparison: Overlay vs Hack & Replace

For a 1,000 sqft home:

Plus you save 3-7 days of renovation time and avoid the mess entirely.

Important: Floor Height

Overlay adds 2-6mm to your floor height. This is usually not noticeable, but you should check: - Door clearance (may need to trim) - Transition to non-overlaid areas (use transition strips) - Bathroom thresholds (water containment)
