Why does padding stick to the floors?

• <div><p>There could be several reasons why your carpet padding has adhered to the floor. Some of the most common reasons include:</p><ul><li><p>There was intentional gluing or stapling to the surface.</p></li><li><p>The polyurethane and floor bonded over years of wear.</p></li><li><p>Pet urine, spills, or other substances leaked through the carpet and created a sticky surface.</p></li></ul><p>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 <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-get-smell-pet-urine-out-carpet.htm">removing pet urine odors</a> to prevent future problems.</p></div>

What do you put under carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>It’s a good idea to install a rug pad under the carpet for your stairs. To make the pad fit, you’ll need to cut one section for each stair tread that’s about one inch narrower than the stair runner so that it won’t be visible once the carpet is installed on top.</p></div>

Do you glue down carpet padding?

• <div><p>If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-glued-carpet.htm">Removing a glued-down carpet</a> can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.</p></div>

The floor was torn out and replaced first and went fine. The driveway and sidewalks removed and replaced next over a few days. The border of the driveway was stamped and adds distinction to the driveway. They all turned out excellent.
