Do you glue down carpet padding?

• <div><p>If you have a concrete subfloor, you must secure the carpet padding with adhesive or glue. However, if you have a wooden subfloor, use staples instead. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-remove-glued-carpet.htm">Removing a glued-down carpet</a> can be difficult and time-consuming, so it’s best to avoid glue when possible.</p></div>

How do you budget for carpet?

• <div><p>The first step in budgeting for carpet is to determine the amount of carpet you need and the type of carpet you want. You might be tempted to opt for the least expensive option if you have a limited budget, but a low-quality carpet won’t last as long as a high-quality one. When accounting for future <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-repair-cost.htm">carpet repair costs</a>, it makes sense to buy the best-quality carpet you can afford.</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: What kind of bamboo is used for flooring?

• <div><p>Moso bamboo, <i>Phyllostachys edulis</i>, is the most commonly used species for bamboo flooring. Moso bamboo is native to China and Taiwan, and it was later introduced to Japan and then the United States. In addition to flooring, Moso bamboo is used in textile production, and the shoots are edible. Moso is one of the fastest-growing plants in the world, which is why it&rsquo;s an affordable and sustainable option compared to traditional hardwood.</p></div>

Q: Can you put cork flooring on concrete?

• <div><p>Yes. So-called &ldquo;floating&rdquo; cork floors can be installed over concrete subfloor, though a polyethylene vapor barrier is required. This type of installation is achieved using the glue-down tiles, which are trickier for a DIY approach, so consider calling a professional to help you if you&rsquo;re planning to install your cork floor over concrete. </p></div>
