Carpet to vinyl flooring

[johnzebo]

So instead of wanting to get our carpet vacuum and cleaned, I was thinking of installing a vinyl flooring on rooms temporarily until summer. Does this sound like a good idea to you?

For 5 months, I would paint the floor.

Are you taking the carpet up or just putting the vinyl over it? I have tried painting carpet as Neal suggested it makes a mess.

Have you compared the cost of vinyl to an area rug(s). Take into account the labor for installing vinyl, either by a pro or by yourself. Do you plan to have it cut and fitted properly or just laid down as a temp thing? And what kind of shape is your floor in - what are you covering?

I think I'm gonna go with installing a laminate floor since per sq ft its cheaper.
