How long does it take for laminate flooring to settle?

• <div><p>Laminate flooring takes about 24 to 48 hours to settle. Before this, planks are not completely acclimated to your home, and walking on them could cause shifting and permanent damage to the flooring. You should allow floorboards to acclimate for 48 to 72 hours before installing so that they can adjust to your home’s humidity and temperature levels, but they will continue to acclimate and settle after installation. For this reason, avoid placing any furniture in the room for 72 hours after installation.</p><p>Your floors will continue to settle for a few months after installation, becoming less bouncy as they rest.</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: What is the price range for installing carpet per square foot?

• <div><p>Depending on carpet type and labor, costs range from $3 to $12 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: Is a stair runner cheaper than a carpet?

• <div><p>A stair runner can be cheaper than a carpet and will definitely save money over the <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/hardwood-floor-refinishing-cost-and-other-factors.htm">cost of refinishing hardwood floors</a> and stairs. The price depends, however, on the fabric and quality of the runner. A wool stair runner can be more expensive than an inexpensive polyester carpet and vice versa. Keep an eye on your budget, knowing that the higher quality the carpet and the carpet pad, the better the carpet will wear over time.</p></div>

Q: Can furniture sliders be used on carpet?

• <div><p>Yes, in most cases, you can use furniture sliders on carpeting. However, it&rsquo;s best to seek out furniture sliders that are specifically meant for carpeting, or a larger size of slider that the furniture won&rsquo;t slip off of as easily. Many varieties of furniture sliders are versatile enough to use on carpeting, hardwood, or tile floors. </p></div>
