Engineered herringbone flooring

alexjonbetts · 15 Sep 2021

Hi

I’m planning on laying a new wooden floor (engineered wood herring bone) on top of the old square parquet flooring, it’s solid under foot and level is there any reason that this wouldn’t be a good idea.

thanks

Are you gluing the wood down ? You should be if engineered parquet.
Is it a concrete sub floor ?
How old is the house ?

Hi thanks for the reply, if it requires gluing then it will be and under the existing flooring there is concrete?

There’s strips of bitumen holding the old flooring down in good condition aswell

That’s because it’s breathing. If you cover they up and stop them breathing then they will become loose.
