I wanna cover carpet on my floor. It has some mid-quality laminate already but I'm not a wood guy.
I don't want to damage the laminate but i can take off the skirting boards.
Also because it's groundfloor and there's poor insulation between the ground and laminates I want some heat insulation too.
What do you suggest /diy/ ? Which material should I use for insulation (I also want this because it would make a soft surface even if the carpet is too thin) what are some good methods?
Unrelated but also one of my walls catches the north wind and its very cold to the touch, any suggestions?
Thanks alot in advance for taking your time too read/reply

Get an area rug.

Sounds like a basement cement floor. That's always going to be cold unless radiant heating is installed.

Get another area rug and hang it on the wall.

Budget?
Tear it all up. Lay rigid insulation, sleepers, and plywood. Carpet that shit.
