• Q: I plan to order the Mannington Realta 12" Rigid Core Vinyl Planks for my kitchen as those will be installed on top of the existing vinyl tile floor installed by building management over 13 years ago. Is it really necessary to have this underlay? I want to be able to take up the planks if I ever decide to move in approximately 10 years.

  A: Since Mannington's Realta 12" Rigid Core Vinyl Planks have an attached pad, you wouldn't need to add another underlayment under your flooring.
