Should I replace or refinish my floors?

• <div><p>There are some circumstances that may require a full replacement of your hardwood floors, such as major flooding or crowning of the boards. Learn more about these specific situations in our article, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/costs-vs-benefits-hardwood-flooring-repair.htm"><i>Should You Repair Or Replace Your Hardwood Floors</i></a>, to identify whether or not it makes more sense to take on a refinishing project or completely replace them.</p></div>

How long does it take for laminate flooring to settle?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48 hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.</p><p>Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.</p></div>

Q: How can I make my open floor plan quieter?

• <div><p>Without walls, other options to quiet an open space are to add noise-dampening materials like rugs, carpets, curtains, and soft furniture. These can act as a barrier to block and absorb sound. More expensive alternatives include acoustic panels, room dividers and temporary walls, and more advanced soundproofing.</p></div>

Q: Are bamboo floors high maintenance?

• <div><p>Bamboo floors are fairly low-maintenance. You&rsquo;ll need to sweep or vacuum them regularly to remove debris and rub off scuffs quickly to prevent permanent damage. Bamboo is vulnerable to moisture, so wipe up spills immediately to prevent permanent damage. When comparing <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/bamboo-flooring-vs-hardwood.htm">bamboo flooring vs. hardwood</a>, you&rsquo;ll notice that the maintenance requirements are similar for both types of flooring.</p></div>

Q: How often do you need to replace the carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Decent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">carpet will last</a> around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You&rsquo;ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.</p></div>
