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>

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>

Where can I rent a floor sander?

• <div><p>In addition to local hardware stores, many big-box chains and national equipment rental companies carry floor sanders for rent. Additionally, U-Sand, manufacturers of a random orbital floor sander, operate a <a href="https://www.u-sand.com/rental-centers/">rental program</a> in partnership with a number of different regional chains and local outlets. Make sure to thoroughly compare the prices at all the stores nearest you—while the costs average out to a similar range across dealerships, some of them offer significantly better rates for long-term rentals than others.</p></div>

What are the different types of carpets?

• <div><p>There are many <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-types-carpet-fibers.htm">different types of carpets</a> for you to choose from. When choosing a carpet, it’s essential to consider the following:</p><ul><li><p><b>Fiber: </b>Describes what your carpet is made of, such as polyester, wool, nylon, or acrylic. </p></li><li><p><b>Pile type:</b> Explains how your carpet looks. Your carpet fibers can be looped, twisted, cut, or woven.</p></li><li><p><b>Pile height:</b> Describes the length of your carpet. You can choose a low, medium, or high pile.</p></li><li><p><b>Density: </b>Refers to how close yarn fibers are to each other. </p></li></ul><p></p></div>
