Hi
I'm new I've trawled through the forums reading everything I could about parquet flooring however I'm not finding the answers!
My first question is: I can scrape the bitumen of the back however a thin layer remains. Do I need to get that off, and if so how because no amount of scraping is touching it?
My second question is slightly trickier and I'll try to explain best I can. The parquet flooring is going down in my dining room. The dining room joins with the entrance hall which has a door. The entrance hall is tiled. Butting a parquet block up against the tile, the parquet is about 10mm higher than the tiles. How do I get around this because I really do not want a step. Also, the tiles come to an end under the door so the door would need to be trimmed to accomodate the parquet on the other side, leaving a huge gap between the tiles and the door. The parquet is going down onto concrete if that makes any difference.
Many thanks for any replies and advice
