Does carpet make a room warmer than laminate?

• <div><p>Carpet is an effective natural insulator, so it will make a room slightly warmer than laminate. The material’s insulating properties also make carpeted rooms more efficient for temperature regulation.</p></div>

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>

Q: Is it less expensive to carpet a room or install laminate floor?

• <div><p>Carpeting a room is less expensive than installing laminate flooring on average. However, the final cost will depend on your chosen materials and labor considerations for a complicated room layout or stairs. The cost for carpeting jobs can quickly meet or even exceed that of laminate if you choose very high-quality materials for a large space. Keep in mind that carpet also needs padding underneath, which adds to overall project costs.</p></div>

Q: How often should I replace my carpet in a home with kids and pets?

• <div><p><a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">The life span of carpet</a> in a home with children and animals depends on factors like the carpet material&rsquo;s quality, how frequently you clean and maintain it, and the level of foot traffic. On average, carpets need to be replaced every five to 15 years. Signs of wear, matting, or persistent odors may indicate that it's time to contact a local flooring company to replace your carpet.</p></div>

Q: Is laminate flooring toxic?

• <div><p>You might be wondering, &ldquo;<a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/should-you-be-concerned-about-formaldehyde-laminate-flooring.htm">Is laminate flooring toxic?</a>&rdquo; The product does contain formaldehyde, which is found in the resins used to bind the wood fibers together. But the chance of overexposure and adverse reactions, such as allergy- or asthma-like symptoms, is low unless you are exposed to formaldehyde in other places, i.e., if you work with formaldehyde regularly outside the home. Keep in mind, too, that many household products have the potential to pose a health hazard, such as cleaning products.</p></div>

Mel and James are extremely good at what they do! They laid a new floor in my kitchen, replaced my fold up attic stairs, repaired attic windows and replaced all electrical switches and receptacles. Also installed a new ceiling fan. Will definitely hire them again!
