Q: Can you put a new tile floor over an old tile floor?

• <div><p>Yes. You can <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-tile-over-tile.htm">tile over tile</a> if the old tile is in good shape, but this will also create a thicker floor. As a result, you may have to remove and readjust baseboards and other room trimmings and potentially even raise door heights to work with the higher floors. In most projects, it&rsquo;s best to remove the old tile before installing a new tile floor. </p></div>

Q: How do I fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard?

• <div><p>If you also need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fill-gap-between-floor-baseboard.htm">how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard</a>, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.</p></div>

Q: Can furniture sliders be used on carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, you can use furniture sliders on carpeting. However, it&rsquo;s best to seek out furniture sliders that are specifically meant for carpeting, or a larger size of slider that the furniture won&rsquo;t slip off of as easily. Many varieties of furniture sliders are versatile enough to use on carpeting, hardwood, or tile floors. </p></div>

Q: What flooring materials do floor transitions work best with?

• <div><p>Door transitions can work with virtually any flooring type; however, different transition strips lend themselves better to specific flooring types. For instance, if you are bridging the gap between a taller floor, like carpet, to a shorter floor, like hardwood, then you will want a transition strip with a slight slope to bridge the height difference. These transition strips are called reducer molding. On the other hand, if you are bridging two floors of the same height, you can use flat transition strips, such as T-strips and seam binders.</p></div>

Q: Are bamboo floors high maintenance?

• <div><p>Bamboo floors are fairly low-maintenance. You&rsquo;ll need to sweep or vacuum them regularly to remove debris and rub off scuffs quickly to prevent permanent damage. Bamboo is vulnerable to moisture, so wipe up spills immediately to prevent permanent damage. When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bamboo-flooring-vs-hardwood.htm">bamboo flooring vs. hardwood</a>, you&rsquo;ll notice that the maintenance requirements are similar for both types of flooring.</p></div>
