Right now, I have wood flooring in my house built in the 1930s. Is there a chance that there could be carpet under the original hardwood flooring?
When using your carpets on the ground, use rug pillows. There is no query that a rug pad extends the life of your rug. In most situations, the best is nasty froth that will not move shade to the rug or to the ground and will provide good use security. Do not use a rubberized, jute or waffle pad. An asian rug or a handmade rug is best to use on the hardwood flooring.
Original wood from the 30s absolutely will not have carpet under it.. Especially if its the original wood there would be no need for anything under it,,Aside from maybe tar paper to help prevent noise. But even back then that I m not sure about. GL
It would be extremely unlikely that carpet would be underneath hardwood. Quite often you will find the opposite: hardwood flooring is often found underneath carpet. Hardwood flooring requires fastening to a very solid surface, which carpet does not provide. You should go to a floor heat register in a room in question, and take the vent cover off of the register. You will find a perfect dissection of the flooring layers, with the subfloor at the very bottom. What you find in between that and the hardwood will answer your question. Hope that helps!
