"These guys are true professionals and know exactly what they are doing! They had to match our existing hardwoods in an adjacent room, and did so with no problem. They worked quickly, efficiently and courteously. Highly recommend and would use again."

Carpet Installation questions, answered by experts

In some cases, stairs without carpet are actually slipperier than carpeted stairs, but if the carpet is brand new, dirty, or just slick, it may seem like your stairs are the most slippery ones in existence. Fortunately, traction treads can be added over most stair surface materials, increasing the traction you’re able to get and reducing the risk of slipping.

If the installer is unwilling to fix the problems and you’re not interested in seeking remediation, you could hide a visually unpleasant floor. This will only work if the floor is structurally sound and the only issue you have is the way it looks. The easiest way to do this is to use large area rugs. You can also paint the floor, although that’s a labor-intensive job if you want to go the DIY route.

In most cases, you don’t need to put anything under carpet tiles—unlike regular carpet, which often has a layer of carpet padding beneath it. Carpet tiles attach directly to the floor (as long as it’s a firm surface like plywood, concrete, or tile) with peel-and-stick adhesive, double-sided carpet tape, or carpet glue.

No, thick carpet padding isn’t necessarily better than thinner padding. The appropriate padding thickness will depend on the type of carpet and the amount of foot traffic in the area. 

For example, thick padding works well in low-traffic areas, like bedrooms, where you have soft and plush carpeting. However, thick carpet padding can damage low-pile carpet, which is used in the busiest parts of your home (like hallways and entryways). For that reason, it’s best to use thinner, heavier padding underneath carpet in high-traffic areas.

With proper care, carpet tile can last 10 to 20 years. These tiles are used in office settings and are designed to handle heavy foot traffic. However, tiles can start to look a little less fresh over time in super busy homes with pets and kids. Keeping extra tiles on hand to swap out will ensure your carpet looks its best.
