A couple key things to remember are that the lower the profile of the carpet and the less padding, the easier any installation will be over top of the carpeting. And while some flooring can be installed over carpeting, you may need to take extra steps to ensure it stays in place and does not damage the carpet, such as laying a layer of plywood between the carpet and finished flooring system or installing wall-to-wall or framing in the new floor. Others can simply be installed much like any other hard floor.
