Is taking out carpet a good idea?

[Cynphony]

For those of us who want a wood laminate, what product do you all suggest? We will be leaving the original ceramic tile in the kitchen and bath, and also the carpet in the master. Just looking to replace the carpet in the lounge...and we do have a slide in the lounge. Thanks in advance for any advice!

Bought ours on sale at Home Depot. We used the type without the attached backing as the added thickness was a consideration with the slides. See my reply to your other question re: slides. You will also have to consider the transition between the various types of flooring that you are leaving in place.

For those of you who have replaced the carpet I have a question - did anyone replace the carpet on the hump between the captain's chairs?

Also where's the pictures?

There is a substitute of carpet which is available in different form "rugs". There are rugs which is specifically designed for bedroom, bathroom, kitchen drawing room etc. so I would like to suggest you instead of going for hardwood flooring try this rugs like jute rugs, sisal rugs etc.

The natural fibre rugs are great- if you have shoes on. Sisal- which originally was made from coconut husks is pretty abrasive.
