Is it more is it more cost effective to have carpet or hardwood floors?
As usual this would depend on many factors. Size of the room? What are you putting it over? Is the subfloor perfectly level and smooth? - If not, what is the cost of prep for the new flooring? Carpet covers many flaws that a tile or wood floor won't. From a purely green perspective a natural wood floor is the most cost effective. Trees are planted for use in manufacturing of the materials not like carpet which is almost 100 percent synthetic (or wool which is very expensive or silk which is beyond the reach of most people). Cleaning wood only requires a microfiber mop and a little soap and water where carpet requires an expensive vacuum and electricity to maintain as well as chemicals or steam to clean periodically over its life. The average life of carpet is 10 -- 15 years and must always be replaced -- a natural wood floor can last the life of the house and can be repaired or resurfaced. So, the answer to your question is: If you are living in a home that you do not plan to be in for more than 10 years -- buy less expensive carpet and let the new owners can decide on a new color if they want to. If you are living in what will be the family home for many years and be passed on for future generations -- go natural. The initial cost of wood is not that much more than that of a really good carpet but will last so much longer.
Can carpet be put down on an uneven floor?
FLOOR PREP CARPET You can put carpet over an uneven floor, BUT Every ridge, Gap or mis alignment in the sub floor will show through over time. Here is a good rule of thumb.. If a gap or a height difference greater than the thickness of a Nickel is present, it will show through the carpet sooner or later. Carpet cushion will help, but it is not "floor prep" on a roll & will not fix anything, only mask it some. Ardex floor feather finish is a great & easy product to skim coat & feather out and fill in differences, it is available at any carpet installation supply house or the home centers.. DO NOT use dependable white crack filler, it will crack & break apart and cause you more problems in the long run.
