Q: 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&rsquo;ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

Q: How long should a Berber carpet last?

• <div><p>You may be wondering, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">how long does carpet last</a>? It depends on the type. For your Berber carpet, it should last <b>10 to 15 years</b> with regular cleaning and maintenance. For the longest lifespan possible, you should call in a carpet cleaner for a deep cleaning at least once a year. </p><p>Also, you can opt for higher-quality Berber carpet and underlayment which will last longer. And if you have pets, make sure to house-train them and use extra rugs in areas you expect high foot traffic.</p></div>

Q: Can you negotiate on carpet prices?

• <div><p>Yes, you can negotiate the purchase price of new carpet. You may also be able to negotiate installation costs or other fees in addition to the per-foot pricing of the carpet itself. You may have better luck negotiating with an independent retailer (as opposed to a big-box store), as they may have more discretion in pricing, but it&rsquo;s always worth asking. </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 healthiest flooring option?

• <div><p>Natural options like stone tile, hardwood, cork, bamboo, and natural linoleum are among the healthier flooring choices available. On the flip side, carpet and carpet padding are among the biggest culprits when it comes to releasing potentially hazardous chemicals into your home. Artificial, manufactured options like vinyl and engineered wood may also contain and emit VOCs. </p></div>
