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>

What is the life expectancy of a subfloor?

• <div><p>A good subfloor can last 30 years or even longer, depending on the material. OSB should last a bit longer than plywood. However, OSB isn’t the best option for heavy flooring types like ceramic tile or stone. It’s also worth noting that regular moisture exposure will drastically reduce any subfloor's life span. </p></div>

Q: How do I fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard?

• <div><p>If you also need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fill-gap-between-floor-baseboard.htm">how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard</a>, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.</p></div>

Q: Which is better, laminate or linoleum?

• <div><p>When it comes to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/laminate-vs-linoleum.htm">linoleum versus laminate</a>, the better choice depends on your personal needs. Linoleum tends to last longer but is more difficult to install. Laminate is less eco-friendly and less durable, but it is easy to install without a professional. </p><p>Both options come in a wide variety of styles, but many prefer the look of laminate. Laminate and linoleum are affordable flooring options compared to hardwood or tile, but laminate costs less at about $0.70 to $2 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How do you maintain hardwood floors?

• <div><p>Keep your floors clean by sweeping or vacuuming them weekly to remove dirt and debris that can scratch the surface. Mats at entryways are also a good idea to catch excess dirt and moisture before it reaches the floors. Additionally, pads under furniture legs will help protect your floors from scratches. </p></div>
