Q: Do I have to convert feet to inches when I calculate square feet?

• <div><p>For rooms with an even number of feet (10 x 12, for example), you can technically just multiply them together to get the number of square feet in the room (10 feet x 12 feet = 120 sq. ft.). For irregularly shaped rooms or areas that aren&rsquo;t even square feet, converting to inches will be your best bet for an accurate measurement.</p></div>

Q: What is the most durable type of flooring?

• <div><p>New flooring costs quite a bit, so longevity is important to think about. Concrete generally has the longest life span, but it&rsquo;s not always a good solution for homes with wooden subfloors. That said, hardwood floors and stone floors can last up to 100 years, and you can refinish or restore them to remove imperfections from daily wear. </p></div>

Q: How do you secure flooring transition strips?

• <div><p>Flooring transition strips can be secured to the subfloor using glue, nails, or screws. For a more secure installation, especially in high-traffic areas, using screws or nails is recommended as it reduces the risk of slippage. However, if aesthetic appeal is a priority, glue provides a cleaner, more seamless finish without any visible holes or screw heads.</p></div>

Q: What are common laminate flooring issues?

• <div><p>Common problems with laminate flooring include surface-level scratches, dents, warping, and separating seams. Scratches can be caused by dragging heavy items like furniture or from not using a mat under rolling office chairs. Dents can occur from regular wear and tear or from dropping heavy objects on the floor. Most of these issues can be prevented with regular cleaning and moisture control, and many are fairly easy to fix for a beginner DIYer.</p></div>

Q: How do I fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard?

• <div><p>If you also need to know <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-to-fill-gap-between-floor-baseboard.htm">how to fill the gap between the floor and the baseboard</a>, it's best to use a flexible, paintable latex caulk. Clean the area thoroughly to remove dust and debris. Then, apply a smooth bead of caulk along the gap using a caulking gun, and use a caulk-smoothing tool to press and smooth it into place. If the gap is large, you may need to insert backer rod, such as a foam filler, before caulking. Once dry, paint the caulk to match the baseboard for a clean, seamless look.</p></div>
