Is it better to have carpet or hard floors in bedrooms?

• <div><p>The type of flooring you choose for your bedroom comes down to personal preference. Many people prefer carpet over hard-surface <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/what-type-flooring-best-my-home.htm">flooring types</a> (such as hardwood, tile, or stone) in their bedrooms because it’s warmer and cozier. Carpeting also helps muffle sound, which may benefit those who have trouble sleeping.</p><p>On the other hand, some folks prefer the look of hardwood over carpet. People with allergies might also opt for non-carpeted flooring since carpet fibers can attract dust, dander, and other allergens.</p></div>

Q: What types of flooring can you install over tile?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/flooring-that-can-be-installed-over-ceramic-tile.htm">types of flooring you can install over ceramic tile</a>, including vinyl, laminate, engineered wood, carpet, and cork. Alternatively, you could install new tiles on top of your current ones if you enjoy having tile floors but don&rsquo;t like the look of your existing tiles. However, before laying down new flooring, you&rsquo;ll need to make sure that your tiles are in good condition. Otherwise, you&rsquo;ll need to remove them first. </p></div>

Q: Is it better to have carpet or wood on stairs?

• <div><p>Hard materials like wood or vinyl flooring on stairs can look great but can also be slippery, posing a risk of injury. On the other hand, carpet often has much more traction, is a lot softer and cushioned, and is still aesthetically pleasing. With all this in mind, carpet is the ideal choice for stairs. </p></div>

Q: Can you have carpet without padding?

• <div><p>Technically, you can install carpet without padding. While skipping the padding can help you save on the project, it will make the carpet less comfortable and show uneven spots or imperfections in the subfloor. Because carpet padding protects the back of the carpet from wear, a carpet without padding can wear out faster than one with it. Carpet padding also cuts down on noise, so forgoing it can affect the acoustics in the room.</p></div>

Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

The installers were great. They had to move our furniture to install the carpet ad flooring. There was only one problem. They scratched my new flooring in the living room moving the furniture. However, they replaced the planks that were scratched and I have no complaints.
