I live on the second floor of a house and would love to have wood flooring. Is there some sort of padding that I can use that will muffle the sound of us walking so it isnt loud for the family on the first floor?
Wood flooring padding provides several benefits in your home, including increased comfort underfoot, noise reduction, improved insulation, and protection for your wood flooring from moisture and damage.
no because I have it in my basement its fine without it.
Wood floor padding provides several benefits when installed underneath hardwood flooring. It helps to absorb impact and reduce noise, provides insulation to help regulate temperature, and adds a layer of cushioning for increased comfort underfoot. Additionally, it can help to extend the lifespan of the hardwood flooring by providing a barrier against moisture and reducing wear and tear.
Due the construction of the laminate flooring, it creates a hollow sound when people walk on the it, especially high heels. It is strongly suggested that a person use a more expensive backing when installing the laminate, this will give it a more hardwood sound. anonymous@oola.com
The term for fake wood flooring is "laminate flooring."
Real wood flooring is better because it looks more natural and it is authentic wood.
Laminate flooring is not real wood, it just imitates the look of it.

If it's in the carpet padding, it soaked thru to the wood flooring and it was definitely in the carpet. Pull them up and throw them away. Scrub the wood flooring, let it dry thoroughly, then put on at least 2 coats of sealer. That is the only way to get rid of the smell.
There are many variables to this answer. It depends if you are installing the wood flooring yourself or having it installed professionally. The size of the area and the type of wood. There are wood flooring companies who offers workshops on installing wood flooring. A DIY course.
Wood flooring refers to any material that is meant to be flooring and that is made out of lumber. You can get solid wood flooring. Be careful; don't confuse laminate, vinyl, or vaneer floors for wood floors.
I just moved into a cabin with wood flooring. The flooring is in very good condition and I would like to keep it that way. How should I clean the wood flooring safely?
