I recently removed some old parquet flooring in the hallway of my 1960s house and I wish to replace with laminate flooring.
The parquet was fixed with bitumen adhesive. Obviously getting the bitumen up is a pain but it's fairly flat to the concrete. Perhaps raised by 2mm ish in a couple of areas.
I have a dpm sheet that I have laid on top of the bitumen, then 5mm fibreboard underlay and laminate on top. Problem is I can hear the stickyness when stepping on the laminate boards from where the glue/bitumen is sticking to the dpm.
What's the solution to this, could I just lay the fibreboard direct to the concrete using the bitumen as a dpm?
