Want this question answered?
coz the carpet floor is softer..which doesnt make noise compared to tile! :)
You should get a thin pad that can provide cushioning when covering your tile floor with a layer of carpet. This is so that the carpet can be placed evenly on top without having the grooves of the tile show through
Carpet absorbs sound. It just bounces off tile.
Get a tile cutter and remove the tile. Strip all the tile off and make sure the underneath surface is clean. Then u install a protective foam pad layer and install the carpet above it.
A tile floor affect sound transmission by making it loud. This is unlike a room that has a carpet which will adsorb sound and thereby reducing noise.
It depends on what carpet or tile you're using. However as a teacher, my experience is, as far as efficiency and maintenance, tile is a much better option. It's much easier to keep clean and more sanitary.
subfloor or gypcrete
Depending on how you look at it, the opposite could either be "bare floor" or "ceiling tile".
Hardwood, carpet, laminate, ceramic tile, vinyl flooring. the list goes on.
Carpet tile can be found at stores such as Carpet Corner or Tile Merchant however I strongly recommend that you do not carpet your kitchen but use linoleum or stone tile instead.
Yes. I have done it. First have the hardwood floor installed. After the hardwood floor is installed have the tile installer install the tile. The reason for this is that the hardwood is very firm and has little room for adjustment. An excellent tile installer can adjust the height of the tile to be flush and level with the hardwood floor with little or no seem. When its done it looks beautiful.
Scrape off carefully with a very sharp craft knife with blade held almost parallel to the floor.
