How long will tile flooring last?

• <div><p>Tile flooring will last anywhere from 10 to 20 years and even up to 30 years or more with proper care and maintenance. </p><p>You can help your tile floor achieve a longer lifespan by maintaining it properly. This includes cleaning it regularly (including <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-clean-tile-and-grout.htm">cleaning the tile floor grout</a>), keeping the floor dry, and not setting super heavy items on it to keep it from cracking. You'll also want to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/tips-regrouting-tile-flooring.htm">regrout your tile floor</a> every 10 years. Using a grout sealer will help your floor last longer.</p></div>

Q: Can I lay carpet by myself?

• <div><p>You can lay carpet by yourself, but that doesn&rsquo;t necessarily mean you should. DIY carpet installation can save you on labor costs, but you&rsquo;ll have to pay more to get the right tools and equipment first. A knee kicker, carpet stretcher, and seam roller are a few pieces of equipment you&rsquo;ll need that you may not already have lying around. And keep in mind that repairing or replacing carpet later because of a bad installation is twice as expensive as paying a pro to handle it in the first place. </p></div>

Q: What are floor transition strips called?

• <div><p>Transition strips are often called seam binders as they bridge the gap between two floor types. They are common between carpeting and hardwood or wood and tile. Transition strips prevent trips and falls and make the transition from each room appear seamless. They are also often used to even out height differences between floors.</p></div>

Q: What is the safest type of flooring?

• <div><p>Carpeting with a low pile is both slip-resistant and soft, making it one of the safest types of flooring in the case of slips and falls. In order to be fully ADA-compliant, carpet shouldn&rsquo;t exceed the thickness of half an inch, and you should secure the edges to the floor to prevent trip hazards. </p><p>Other ADA-compliant flooring options include hardwood, laminate, or ceramic tile with a gritty, anti-slip surface. Ceramic or porcelain tile are actually some of the best types of flooring for wheelchair users.</p></div>

Q: Does damaged subfloor need to be replaced?

• <div><p>Dry rot or severe water damage may warrant a replacement, but you don&rsquo;t always need to replace damaged subflooring. If your subfloor has warped because it was installed incorrectly, you can sometimes shim the panels (in other words, add a thin, wedge-shaped piece of wood to level the surface). If your subfloor bows upward, you may be able to sand it down at the joist so it&rsquo;s level, depending on the extent of the damage. </p></div>
