Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>

Q: What are floor transition strips called?

• <div><p>Transition strips are often called seam binders as they bridge the gap between two floor types. They are common between carpeting and hardwood or wood and tile. Transition strips prevent trips and falls and make the transition from each room appear seamless. They are also often used to even out height differences between floors.</p></div>

Q: Do you put anything under carpet tiles?

• <div><p>In most cases, you don&rsquo;t need to put anything under carpet tiles&mdash;unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it&rsquo;s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.</p></div>

Q: Do you put flooring under kitchen cabinets?

• <div><p>Whether or not you put flooring under kitchen cabinets depends on the type of flooring you&rsquo;re installing. Tile and hardwood flooring can throw off the height measurement for cabinets, so the best practice is to install it first then add the cabinets on top. Laminate flooring, or any floating floor, should not be installed underneath cabinets because it expands and contracts, making the cabinets unstable. </p></div>
