Q: Is it suitable for every carpet type?

• <div><p>No, it works best under synthetic carpets in high-traffic or moisture-prone areas. Avoid using moisture barrier padding under natural fiber carpets like wool, which need air circulation. The barrier can trap the moisture against natural fibers and cause problems. Also, you can skip it in low-risk areas like upstairs guest bedrooms, where the extra protection often isn't worth the added cost.</p></div>

Q: Can you cover asbestos tile with carpet?

• <div><p>While it's possible to cover asbestos tile with carpet, it's not recommended. Encapsulating tile beneath carpet doesn't eliminate the health risks. Over time, the asbestos tiles could degrade, releasing fibers into the air and potentially contaminating the carpet. Disturbance during carpet installation or removal might also release fibers.</p></div>

Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

Q: Why are stairs so expensive to carpet?

• <div><p>Installing carpet on stairs involves a lot more cutting, tucking, tack strips, and time. The shape of your staircase, along with the material and construction of the carpet you&rsquo;re installing, will also increase the cost. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cost-to-carpet-stairs.htm">Carpet installation on stairs will cost</a> $400 to $800 in total, but it can go as high as $2,500 for difficult staircases, such as wrap-around, upholstered, or spiral staircases.</p></div>
