Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

If you live in a region with high humidity, carpet bubbling can occur regularly. A dehumidifier can help keep your carpet flat during the most humid months.

A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the cost of refinishing hardwood floors 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.

There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:

There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.
The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.
Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.

If the carpeting in the home has not been changed in a long time, clearing off the padding underneath could be difficult. Pet urine can wreak havoc on carpeting and the flooring underneath. If you plan to reinstall carpeting, remember to use proper cleaning techniques for removing pet urine odors to prevent future problems.

If you don’t want to use carpet as a covering for your stairs, you have several alternatives. A few popular choices include hardwood, laminate, and rubber flooring.

When choosing whether to install carpet in your home, consider the pros and cons of this change:

Pros

More affordable than laminate flooring
Gives the room a warmer feel
Softer on feet
Wide variety of textures and colors
Hides dirt easily
Faster and easier to install

Cons

Shows wear and tear more quickly than laminate flooring
Shows stains
Soaks up liquids
May not work well in some areas, such as a bathroom
Less durable than laminate flooring
Susceptible to water damage, mold, and mildew
