Q: Is it cheaper to install carpet or vinyl flooring?

• <div><p>No, it isn&rsquo;t less expensive to install carpet compared to vinyl floors. The <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/carpet-installation-cost-and-advantages.htm">cost of installing carpet</a> can range between $3 and $11 per square foot, so it falls just over the cost of installing vinyl flooring, at an average of $3 to $7 per square foot. High-quality carpeting can also range much higher, even up to $20 per square foot.</p></div>

Q: How long do vinyl floors last?

• <div><p>Vinyl flooring comes with different warranty lengths based on the thickness of the layers and the quality of the material. Most include a 20-year warranty. However, you&rsquo;ll need to maintain the floor appropriately and read through the warranty to avoid using any products, tools, or methods that void the warranty. Some warranties, for example, are made void if you use a steam cleaner, even if the floor can withstand the heat and moisture.</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: Do you have to install underlayment for laminate flooring?

• <div><p>Yes, installing underlayment underneath the laminate flooring is necessary. The underlayment has many benefits like preventing water damage to your subfloors, insulating the floor for sound, and providing an even surface for the planks to sit on.</p><p>When you skip the underlayment, you can end up with serious issues, including water damage to your subfloors, noisy planks, and an uneven floor.</p></div>

Q: Is water coming up from the floor an emergency?

• <div><p>Yes, water coming up from the floor should be treated as an emergency. If you're unable to either identify or stop the source of the water on your own, contact an emergency plumber right away. In addition to harming your flooring, standing or pooled water can lead to <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/will-water-damage-concrete.htm">water-damaged concrete</a>.</p></div>
