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>

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>

Q: How often do you need to replace the carpet on stairs?

• <div><p>Decent <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/6-signs-you-need-replace-your-carpet.htm">carpet will last</a> around 10 years on stairs. Some less durable carpets, like polyester, will only last five years on stairs. The ideal carpet, like wool or nylon, can last about 15 to 25 years. You&rsquo;ll know when to replace it when it starts wearing down. You may have to replace it sooner if it's stained, whether due to water damage or pets.</p></div>

Q: Does carpet tile need padding?

• <div><p>Because carpet tiles are designed to adhere to the subfloor directly, it&rsquo;s usually not a good idea to install padding under them. Some carpet tiles come with padding attached to the tile if you prefer a cushier walking experience. In some cases, you can use a compact underlayment beneath your tiles, but you would likely need help from a pro to accomplish this type of installation. </p></div>

Q: What is the typical lifespan of bamboo flooring?

• <div><p>Bamboo flooring can last for 25 to 50 years with proper care and regular maintenance. Solid wood bamboo (including horizontal, vertical, and strand-woven bamboo) lasts longer than engineered wood bamboo. There are a few things you can do to help your bamboo floors last as long as possible, including wiping up spills right away and regularly mopping with a hardwood-rated cleaning product.</p></div>
