Hi,
Does anyone have any experience laying parquet flooring on a concrete floor which used to have vinyl tiles on it?
We bought the parquet tiles - nicoline, unsealed but pre-sanded which need to be glued down and the instructions say the floor has to be very flat and smooth (no surprises there )
We started taking up the old vinyl tiles and the old adhesive is turning out to be a real pain to remove. Currently using an old chisel to get it up..
Do we definately have to remove it? Is there an easy way to do it? or could we just put floor leveling compound over the lot? Do I need to damp proof the concrete floor? It's been there a while and doesn't look like it was original (it's in the lean-to of a 1900 vic. terrace house).
If anyone has any experiences - i'd love to hear from them. Right now I'm starting to think putting down laminate flooring would be a lot easier!
