Q: How do you measure stairs for a carpet runner?

• <div><p>If you&rsquo;re using a carpet runner instead of a traditional carpet, pay attention to your width measurements. Instead of measuring the total width of your staircase with 2 added inches for foldover, simply measure the width you&rsquo;d like the runner to cover. Runners generally come in standard sizes, so you may need to approximate what would look best in your space.</p></div>

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: Can I install laminate flooring over other types of flooring?

• <div><p>One reason that laminate flooring has grown in popularity is that it can be installed on top of some kinds of existing flooring, therefore saving money and time. However, don&rsquo;t install laminate flooring over carpet since it may void the manufacturer&rsquo;s warranty. Plus, carpet is often too plush and soft to properly support a laminate flooring system. </p></div>

Q: What is the best material for carpet?

• <div><p>It depends on what&rsquo;s important to you. For instance, if you&rsquo;re looking for the lowest-priced carpet material, consider polyester. Alternatively, you could go with olefin (also known as polypropylene), another synthetic carpet material that costs about the same as polyester. Otherwise, if durability is the priority, nylon or wool would be a better choice. </p><p>Not sure what you need? A <a href="https://www.angi.com/nearme/carpet-installation/">local carpet installer</a> can explain the difference between various carpet types and help you decide what&rsquo;s best for your home.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>
