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>

Can I recycle my carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, you can recycle most types of carpet. If you hire a pro to remove your old carpet, ask about their <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-dispose-of-carpet.htm">carpet disposal</a> process. Many companies will recycle the carpeting, but if yours doesn’t, you can ask them to take it to a recycling center for you (although there might be an additional fee). Alternatively, you can hire a junk hauling service or contact a carpet recycling organization (like CARE).</p></div>

Q: What types of flooring materials are popular in villas?

• <div><p>Popular flooring types for villas include tile, engineered hardwood, laminate, and vinyl. Tiles are often made of ceramic, terra cotta, or porcelain. The flooring you choose for your villa depends on your budget, the room, and the style you prefer.</p></div>

Q: When remodeling a kitchen, do you do floors or cabinets first?

• <div><p>Contractors commonly <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/cabinets-or-flooring-first.htm">install floors before cabinets</a> during a kitchen remodel. It&rsquo;s the standard option when installing hardwood, vinyl, and tile flooring. Installing flooring first helps prevent height misalignment, ensures a seamless appearance, and saves extra flooring work and costs if you plan to replace or remove any cabinets later.</p></div>

Q: How much floor sag is acceptable?

• <div><p>No subflooring is perfectly level, but you should never ignore any noticeable floor sagging. Most contractors deem a floor that slopes by a 1/2 inch to 1 inch per 20 feet of floor acceptable. Further investigation is required when the slope or sag is more than one and a half inches.</p></div>
