Default Laminate over carpet

I know over recent years many of us have followed the trends by having laminate flooring as opposed to carpet, we have all read the benefits of getting the old bug infested carpet out for nice new easy to clean laminate, but is it really?

Tell us your experience of laminate over carpet.

If you want more insulation in the floor, there are many reasonable ways to obtain that while working from below. The garage below must already have some sort of drywall for a fire barrier. That barrier must be kept. You can add foam insulation to the ceiling and then install more drywall over the foam. Just make sure drywall screws are used that are long enough to penetrate at least one inch (25 mm) into the floor joists above.

Hello Friends......

Laminate flooring is a popular alternative to natural wood flooring and tile. Typically, laminate is less expensive than traditional flooring and is moderately easy to install. You should consider some precautions especially when it comes to the materials over which you lay your new laminate flooring.

Thanks
