Q: How to fix squeaky floorboards without removing carpet?

• <div><p>While it may not always be ideal, you can fix a squeaky floorboard without removing the carpet. Pros use specialized carpet screws and drive them through the carpet into the subfloor, securing floorboards. They may also use nails instead of screws if they suspect the pile will get caught in the screw. While some types of carpet will hide the screws and nails, a low-pile carpet may not. </p></div>

Q: How do carpet installers protect my furniture during the installation process?

• <div><p>Carpet installers use furniture sliders or blankets to protect your furniture during the installation process. They handle each piece with care to minimize the risk of damage. Additionally, they may employ techniques such as lifting and shifting furniture rather than dragging it across the floor to prevent scratches or other marks. If you have particularly delicate or heavy items that need to be moved, discuss special handling with the installers beforehand.</p></div>

Q: Can I slide furniture across the floors in my home?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s better to lift and set down furniture; sliding it across the floor is more likely to cause damage to both the floor and the furniture itself. For very heavy items, consider using a dolly with rubber wheels. It is possible to purchase sliders designed specifically for gliding furniture across floors, but you still risk causing permanent damage to flooring if you use them.</p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>Bamboo flooring can last for 25 to 50 years with proper care and regular maintenance. Solid wood bamboo (including horizontal, vertical, and strand-woven bamboo) lasts longer than engineered wood bamboo. There are a few things you can do to help your bamboo floors last as long as possible, including wiping up spills right away and regularly mopping with a hardwood-rated cleaning product.</p></div>
