Q: Should flooring go under the dishwasher?

• <div><p>Yes, your kitchen flooring should extend under your dishwasher. It is essential for creating a level and stable surface for the appliance and preventing moisture from seeping into the subflooring, which is costly to repair. Working with a kitchen contractor will ensure the new flooring accounts for the height of the dishwasher so it sits under the countertop properly without any glaring gaps. </p></div>

Q: How can you tell if carpet padding is bad?

• <div><p>Most people realize it is time to replace the padding when the carpet loses springiness or feels thin and unsupportive. Other telltale signs are lumps or dips in the carpet that could look unattractive or cause tripping hazards. Similarly, if your carpet is making a crinkly sound or starting to wear out prematurely, you might need to replace your padding.</p></div>

Q: Which lasts longer: vinyl or laminate?

• <div><p>Vinyl and laminate flooring can have a similar life span. Both well-maintained laminate and luxury vinyl flooring can last up to 25 years. The exception is the thinner type of vinyl flooring that comes in sheets and lasts less than 10 years. It&rsquo;s important to note that vinyl is waterproof, whereas you can ruin laminate if it absorbs too much moisture.</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: How can I make my open floor plan quieter?

• <div><p>Without walls, other options to quiet an open space are to add noise-dampening materials like rugs, carpets, curtains, and soft furniture. These can act as a barrier to block and absorb sound. More expensive alternatives include acoustic panels, room dividers and temporary walls, and more advanced soundproofing.</p></div>
