Since there is no rubber in this rug pad it does not prevent slipping. For better results you can use a carpet pad under the carpet. Just be aware that any bumps or unlevel spots in the linoleum will be seen with a sheet vinyl over top of it. Given that most vinyl recommend no rubber here are our non rubber alternatives.

This is also wrong. Most vinyl flooring manufacturers recommend using a non rubber product while some will recommend using only rubber. Vinyl is a bit tricky so we always recommend following your floor manufacturer s instructions. If you reuse your thick carpet padding your floor will be too bouncy and it may damage the locking system.

Rug pads for vinyl and vinyl plank floors. This pad should be laid down right over the vinyl but not over the carpet runners. The carpet just goes right over the top of the pad. Pay special attention to your warranty when installing underlayment.
