Atma Prasad asked:

I just got my first rehab duplex and I am wondering what to do with the flooring. Hardwood doesn’t have to get replaced all the time like carpet can, but I noticed that when we walk on the upper unit it can be very loud for the lower unit. Would carpet make a big difference in how much sound would come from kids running around etc. in the upper unit for people living below?

I’m looking for rugs for my bathrooms and kitchen that don’t have that rubber backing. I used that kind of rug and they stained my flooring. Any ideas or know where I can find rugs without that rubber backing on them?

I have had a 5 foot archway opened up between two rooms in my house. Both rooms are carpeted, leaving flooring where the wall was. We have built up the floor in the space to match the level of the existing floors in each room. I have remnants from having the carpet installed and I am wondering how to best patch the area. Should I add padding to level off the patch with the existing carpet. Would I use two sided sticking tape or glue? Also, should the remnant be cut a little larger to blend in with existing carpet and then is there a tool to use to help it blend in? Thank you for any assistance.

I am looking for best overall economical solution. I would like to pull out the carpet (I think I can do that myself) and I would like to have it replaced with something that will last a while, not give me any matinence related grief and be easy to take care of. I have a cat so I think some kind of hard flooring option would be best?
