A floating floor is loved by both home owners and trade professionals. It is a floor that does not need to be nailed or glued to the subfloor, which reduces installation time and subfloor costs. It can be installed at, above, or below grade. Examples of floating floors are luxury vinyl plank or "LVP", hardwood (not glued) and laminate. Most of these floors will require padding installation and can usually be walked on immediately after installation. 

Carpet was traditionally made from wool, but the twentieth century brought around synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon, and polyester.  These fibers are preferred by homeowners as they are less expensive than traditional wool. An invaluable benefit of carpet is its ability to improve indoor air quality; new carpet is one of the lowest volatile organic compound (VOC)-emitting flooring choices available. Additionally, It provides warmth and comfort while softening slips and falls. It provides acoustic benefits by reducing noise. There are 3 methods to choose from when installing carpet; The first method is stretched carpet which is the most common (uses tackstrips and gets stretched for a "tight" Installation). Second is the glue-down method. This method involves glueing the carpet directly to the subfloor and does not require padding. This method makes for a much harder surface and provides very little sound reduction. The third method is cut to size and it is just as it sounds. The carpet is cut to the size of the room and laid down (known as a drop), without being glued or fastened to anything.
