Is it cheaper to lay carpet or carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles are less expensive than traditional carpet. The average <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost of carpet installation</a> is $1,800, or $3 to $11 per square foot.

Since you can more easily DIY carpet tiles, you may be able to save on installation costs, too. </p></div>

Q: Should I glue down my carpet tiles?

• <div><p>Carpet tiles come with a preexisting adhesive backing, which means installing them is as simple as peeling off the paper and sticking them down where they need to go. In other words, no. You won&rsquo;t need to purchase any separate glue to get your carpet squares situated. It&rsquo;s already built into the carpet tile itself.</p></div>

Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood stairs?

• <div><p>In most cases, carpeting isn&rsquo;t kind to the wood that it&rsquo;s attached to. Most carpet installation uses adhesive or nailing strips, both of which will damage wood. Conversely, you can choose to use an adhesive designed to be removed from wood, in which case carpeting can actually protect your hardwood stairs.</p></div>

Q: What is the process for installing carpet in a home?

• <div><p>Carpet installation typically starts with removing the old flooring, preparing the subfloor, laying underpadding for cushioning, and securing the new carpet with tack strips, making precise cuts to fit room dimensions.</p></div>

Q: When should I replace my carpet instead?

• <div><p>If you have a dark carpet and are going for a lighter look, you should replace it, rather than dyeing, since you can only go darker with dye. If your stains are too heavy to mask with carpet dye or the carpet is more than 10 years old, you should also consider replacing it.</p></div>
