Is carpet nailed or glued?

• <div><p>Carpet is most often affixed to the floor by tacks in tack strips rather than nailed or glued directly to the subfloor. The tack strips are nailed to wood subfloors. Even if you want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-install-carpet-on-concrete.htm">install carpet over concrete</a>, you’ll adhere the tack strips to the concrete with masonry nails or a liquid adhesive. </p></div>

How do you protect hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Furniture pads and rugs are simple ways to protect your floors as they prevent furniture from scratching them, reducing wear and tear. The same goes for trimming your pet’s nails since they can scratch the floors as well. You can also apply a protective finish every few years to maintain the floor’s appearance. </p></div>

How do I keep my floors spotless?

• <div><p>Now that you know the true pleasure of a squeaky-clean floor, you’re probably wondering how to keep floors clean between mop days. Here are the best tips to keep your floor looking spotless:</p><ul><li><p>Give floors a quick daily swipe with a microfiber mop.</p></li><li><p>Keep a spray bottle of your cleaning solution on hand to use as needed.</p></li><li><p>Sweep daily and vacuum once or twice a week.</p></li><li><p>Clean up spills and messes as soon as they happen.</p></li><li><p>Place a doormat at each entrance to your home to reduce mud tracking.</p></li><li><p>Consider enforcing a “no shoes inside” policy.</p></li><li><p>Wash your pet’s paws before letting them back inside.</p></li></ul><p></p></div>

Q: What’s the difference between a doorway floor transition and a door jamb?

• <div><p>Many doorways feature two door jambs. These are installed on both sides of a doorway to prevent the door from swinging too far. Door jambs usually stop the door at 180 degrees when closed. A doorway floor transition sits between the door jambs on the floor, helping to create a safer and more aesthetically pleasing transition from one flooring type to the next. </p></div>

Q: Do you need a transition between carpet stairs and wood flooring?

• <div><p>A transition piece between carpet stairs and wood flooring isn't always necessary. A transition piece separates two types of flooring in between rooms and areas, like carpet and vinyl. Because the carpet on the stairs tucks into the seam, you can&rsquo;t see the fringes, and there is no need to hide anything. However, you can use a stair cap if your stairs have a nose.</p></div>

We had originally planned on removing the old tile as well as the old dirty carpet. While they mentioned it would be a dirty job I didn't realize how long it would take. We ended up being in a bit of a time crunch. The installer was the one who had to tell me we couldn't do the tile but was...
