Can new carpet be glued to existing carpet on stairs?
No. Carpet that is to be glued down must have a clean, smooth and sound surface prior to installation. It is necessary to remove the existing carpet before installing the new. Scrape away any old adhesives best as possible, vacuum, use a premimum adhesive or contact adhesive, and press the new carpet into the adhesive to get a good transfer.

Can interlocking floor tiles be installed over carpet?
Interlocking floor tiles are not preferable used over carpet. The best surface to lay tile or any other flooring product is on a firm and solid surface that out give. Carpet goes down when you step on and makes it so the interlocking tiles will eventually come unlocked by stepping on it. I would not recommend that you install any type of flooring until your carpet is taken out. However if your looking for a good interlocking floor tile I would recommend Swisstrax. They have a great product. And they are great to work with. Sources: www.swisstrax.com www.bigfloors.com www.racedeck.com

What is the cost to install carpet padding?
This question has no definite answer. Some suppliers quote it as an installed price already included. The price on the padding itself may vary with thickness and variety - roughly $.50 per sq/ft. for a basic thinner pad to $1.00 per sq/ft. on a thicker and more durable material. It may be sold by the roll with so many square feet in the roll or not depending on your installer or supplier. You usually use no more than 1/2" pad with cut pile carpet and recommend 7/16" or less for berber or low pile carpets. Synthetic padding is best for berbers or loop piles. This type of padding has less bounce but will out perform foam padding in this application.

Depending on your sensitivity, your hand might be a better choice than your foot. You want to be careful, because you don't want to push the spring down into the carpet piles, making it almost impossible to find.

Can you lay carpet tiles over outdoor carpet?
It is possible to do but not a recommended practice Carpet tiles are designed to be installed over a stable surface.

The best procedure is to remove the existing carpet, prep the surface & then install the tiles.
