FAQ:

Q: Are plastic carpet runners safe for your carpet?

A: It’s best to avoid plastic carpet runners with adhesive. Even with a long term plastic carpet runner, proper carpet maintenance is important. A runner doesn’t eliminate the need for regular vacuuming. A plastic carpet runner offers protection , it doesn’t prevent soil from coming into your home.

Q: Can You cover tile floors with carpet?

A: You can lay carpet over any type of tile flooring as long as the flooring is in a sound condition.

Q: Can you put carpet on a heated concrete floor?

A: There is and electric radiant floor heat system that can be embedded in a mortar mix or a self-leveling concrete overlay. Then you can install tile, carpet , or wood flooring over this to have heated floors. Floor height may be an issue for older exiting homes. You would have to remove the existing flooring and allow for this new floor.

Q: Does carpet ruin hardwood floors?

A: There are only two things that can ruin a hardwood floor beyond all hope: floods and urine. This tends to happen when there is carpet or a rug over the hardwood floors because it keeps the liquid from drying and allows it to sit in contact with the floor below as it breaks down.
