Can I reuse materials like blankets and towels for floor protection?

• <div><p>It’s possible to reuse household materials to cover floors, but they won’t provide the same level of protection as dedicated materials. They’re also more difficult to tape down and more prone to slipping and bunching up—and any dirt or debris on them could scratch or stain your floors. That being said, extra materials like these can be useful for protecting the sides of furniture and placing in areas that could use added protection.</p></div>

Q: How long does a subfloor last?

• <div><p>A subfloor will often last for the life of the house&mdash;somewhere between 50 and 100 years&mdash;if it avoids water damage, mold, termites, and other things that can cause it to age faster. If a subfloor sees continued exposure to moisture, it can warp, grow mold, or rot and last a much shorter time.</p></div>

Q: Does carpet over carpet increase the insulation and soundproofing of the room?

• <div><p>While carpet over carpet may provide some additional insulation and soundproofing benefits, it's not as effective as other methods. Layering carpets can add a modest buffer against noise and temperature fluctuations, but it's limited compared to installing thicker carpet padding or using specialized soundproofing materials. For <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-insulate-a-floor.htm">optimal floor insulation</a> and soundproofing, consider alternative solutions tailored to your specific needs and budget, such as adding additional padding or soundproofing underlayments beneath the carpet.</p></div>

Q: When should I repair versus replace my carpet?

• <div><p>Since carpet can be expensive to install and choosing a new carpet can seem daunting, it&rsquo;s important to know when to repair your existing carpet versus replacing it.</p><p>If the damage to your carpet Is extensive, such as large sections needing to be replaced, it might be best to replace it. Likewise, if your carpet damage is due to water damage, it might be best to replace the entire carpet to avoid mold problems. Consider repairing your carpet when the damage is localized to one spot or when the damaged carpet is in a low-traffic area of your home. </p></div>

Q: What is the best flooring for a mudroom?

• <div><p>The best flooring materials for a mudroom are porcelain and ceramic tiles. Both are easy to clean and maintain, and they're also water-resistant and highly durable. If you're not a fan of those types, you can also choose another nonporous flooring for your mudroom, such as stone or sealed concrete. Stay away from linoleum, cork, hardwood, and engineered wood, as water and moisture in your mudroom will damage these quickly.</p></div>
