    Carpet underlay

    Hello, What underlay is good/the best for bedroom provided it is wood floorboards floor, carpet is 12.5mm thick and dense (it has already have that soft and spongy feeling)? Current gap between the floorboards and the door bottom part is about 22mm. There will be some quite heavy furniture (up to 120kg) on small legs, so would be nice to avoid permanent furniture indentation marks, if possible. Thanks!

    How do i remove cork floor tiles and adhesive?

    I just bought a house and it has cork floor tiles glued down onto the flooring. I've tried scraping them up but they just break into pieces. Is there an easier way to do it? I was advised to use a heat gun but I'm worried the tiles might catch on fire. How much could i expect to pay to hire someone to remove the tiles for me? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

    Creeking Laminate Flooring

    I got herringbone laminate flooring laid about six months ago on a concrete subfloor with polystyrene bubble underlay. I need to get the creeking sound fixed that I was told would settle by time but it hasn't settled at all. It was leveled as much as possible before laying it down. I don't know if it could be the underlay being too thin or the type of the underlay as it has good reviews online designed for uneven subfloor. Can this be fixed without damaging the laminate flooring?
