Q: Which type of flooring is best for the kitchen?

• <div><p>Impervious or vitreous tile and vinyl flooring work best for the kitchen. These surfaces are non-porous (or have a very low porosity) that can stand up against spills, splashes, and plumbing leaks. Some natural stones are also a good fit, but keep porosity in mind. You may need to seal them to avoid stains and water damage to the subfloor.</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>

Q: Will installing laminate over carpet affect the resale value of my home?

• <div><p>Yes, installing laminate over carpet could negatively affect the resale value of your home. It&rsquo;s no surprise that homebuyers prefer flooring that someone has installed according to industry standards. Laminate over carpet may raise concerns about the quality and stability of the flooring, impacting the overall perceived value of the property. </p></div>

Q: Can you stretch carpet with furniture on it?

• <div><p>You can get away with stretching the carpet with some remaining items of furniture, so long as you have ready access to the parts of the carpet that require maintenance and you are not stretching through the furniture, as this leads to tears and fraying. Try to remove at least 50% of the furniture if you can&rsquo;t remove it all.</p></div>
