Q: What is the safest type of flooring?

• <div><p>Carpeting with a low pile is both slip-resistant and soft, making it one of the safest types of flooring in the case of slips and falls. In order to be fully ADA-compliant, carpet shouldn&rsquo;t exceed the thickness of half an inch, and you should secure the edges to the floor to prevent trip hazards. </p><p>Other ADA-compliant flooring options include hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile with a gritty, anti-slip surface. Ceramic or porcelain tile are actually some of the best types of flooring for wheelchair users.</p></div>

Q: Does it matter which direction laminate flooring is laid?

• <div><p>You can lay your laminate flooring in whichever direction you'd like. However, you should check your materials' instructions and see what the maximum length limit is for the installation. This differs according to the brand you buy, but you can expect it to be around <b>40 linear feet</b>. Depending on the size of the room, this might dictate which direction you end up laying the planks.</p></div>

Q: Is cork flooring less expensive than hardwood?

• <div><p>When considering <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cork-flooring-what-are-pros-and-cons.htm">cork flooring pros and cons</a>, you may have toyed with the idea of getting other types of flooring, including hardwood. But how does it compare in price? Your new cork flooring can cost less than hardwood, depending on the wood type you choose. Cork costs about $5 to $19 per square foot, while hardwood costs $6 to $25 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: What is the fastest way to remove carpet?

• <div><p>The fastest way to remove carpet is to remove carpet in strips instead of trying to remove it in one large piece. Wear protective equipment such as gloves and goggles, use a utility knife to cut the carpet in long strips, and then pull at the edge of the strip to loosen the staples or glue. Carpet-cutting razor blades are best on your utility knife for the quickest removal. </p></div>

It was a total redo from tile the bathtub to the ceiling to put in a shower to tile the floor to raise the sink higher for my height. Even textured the wall. I am so happy.
