Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-install-carpet-on-concrete.htm">install carpet over concrete</a>, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

Do termites eat bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>No, termites don’t eat bamboo flooring like they do hardwood flooring. That’s because bamboo is a hardy grass that is naturally resistant to many pests, including termites. If you’re concerned about termites or other pests that could damage your floors, you can achieve a look similar to hardwood without the stress of pests by installing bamboo flooring. </p></div>

Q: What types of carpet are available?

• <div><p>Cut pile, loop pile, and textured carpets are options. Choose based on comfort, durability, and style.</p></div>

Q: Is cork flooring better than hardwood?

• <div><p>It all depends on what you&rsquo;re looking for in a floor. Cork flooring is certainly softer and more sound-absorbing than hardwood floors, and the two share very similar maintenance routines. That said, for some homeowners, the pristine appearance of hardwood floors may be more appealing, and they may be less prone to scratches and dents than cork flooring. Hardwood flooring also tends to be more expensive than cork flooring.</p></div>

Q: Do termites eat bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>No, termites don&rsquo;t eat bamboo flooring like they do hardwood flooring. That&rsquo;s because bamboo is a hardy grass that is naturally resistant to many pests, including termites. If you&rsquo;re concerned about termites or other pests that could damage your floors, you can achieve a look similar to hardwood without the stress of pests by installing bamboo flooring. </p></div>

Q: Is it okay to mop hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Yes, you can mop hardwood floors with a damp flat or string mop as long as it is not soaking wet. Always avoid leaving standing water or fully soaking your hardwood floors, even if they are properly finished. A slightly wet mop, with or without cleaning solutions, will not damage the wood.</p></div>
