Default Re: Anyone experienced with Pergo type flooring?

That is one more thing I forgot to mention. Take a look at the box of laminate itself. The directions on there (at least the ones for Armstrong and a couple others) are pretty good. They tell you how to measure and layout the floor. And buy at least 10% more than you need as you will have cut pieces that won't match up. If you are left with a box, just return it for a refund.

No worries. I have done it over vinyl. But the vinyl was a single piece and smooth. Not those vinyl tiles. There are a lot of surface vinyls that have a roughness to them to mimic whatever patern they have. If it's smooth, just add a thin underlayment (no need to buy the expensive stuff) and lay down. I still wouldn't lay it right on top unless it was true linoleum.
