Q: What rooms should not have carpet?

• <div><p>Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it&rsquo;s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.</p></div>

Q: What happens to cork flooring when it gets wet?

• <div><p>One of the upsides of cork flooring is that it's mold-resistant, so you don't have to worry about mildew or mold growth on wet cork. However, you should always clean up any moisture as soon as possible and use as little water as you need when cleaning. This will help you avoid issues like buckling or swelling in your cork flooring, which often requires replacement, and prevent moisture from seeping into your subfloor, which can cause the dreaded mold or mildew problems.</p></div>

Q: Can you put cork flooring on concrete?

• <div><p>Yes. So-called &ldquo;floating&rdquo; cork floors can be installed over concrete subfloor, though a polyethylene vapor barrier is required. This type of installation is achieved using the glue-down tiles, which are trickier for a DIY approach, so consider calling a professional to help you if you&rsquo;re planning to install your cork floor over concrete. </p></div>

Q: Which type of flooring is best for the kitchen?

• <div><p>Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.</p></div>

Q: How do you budget for carpet?

• <div><p>The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won&rsquo;t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a>, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.</p></div>

Flooring Installation questions, answered by experts

Avoid placing carpet in the bathroom or the kitchen. After all, moisture is no friend to carpeting. Beyond that, it’s down to personal preference. Some people dislike when a garage or basement features carpet, but others enjoy it.

However, you should always clean up any moisture as soon as possible and use as little water as you need when cleaning. This will help you avoid issues like buckling or swelling in your cork flooring, which often requires replacement, and prevent moisture from seeping into your subfloor, which can cause the dreaded mold or mildew problems.
