Q: How do I install carpet padding?

• <div><p>Installing carpet padding is mostly a matter of measuring the room and cutting the carpet pad to size with a utility knife. You can save some money on <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">carpet installation costs</a> by doing it yourself. Before installing the carpet padding, you should install the tack strips around the room&rsquo;s perimeter and prepare the subfloor by cleaning and making any necessary repairs. Then, unroll the carpet pad and cut sections as needed. Staple the carpet pad to the subfloor along the edges, leaving the tack strips exposed.</p></div>

Q: Are carpet tiles easy to install?

• <div><p>Yes, carpet tiles are easy to install&mdash;even if you don&rsquo;t have much DIY experience. In fact, the simple installation process is one of the main reasons that people choose carpet tiles over traditional carpet. Since carpet tiles come in individual squares, they aren&rsquo;t as heavy or awkward to install as regular carpet. Plus, you don&rsquo;t need specialized equipment (like knee kickers or carpet stretchers) when installing carpet tiles.</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>

Q: What are the benefits of professional carpet installation?

• <div><p>Professional installation ensures seamless fitting, extended carpet life, and compliance with workplace standards.</p></div>
