relaying woodblock floor

[bosch67]

I have just pulled up a poorly laid wood block floor, the floor it is to be laid on is a concrete floor which is not to level, is it ok to put a self leveling compound down and then lay the floor on to that?

will i need to seal the floor before applying the screed and then will i need to seal the screed before applying the the woodblocks and adhesive.

Any advice greatfully received


ps is there a technique for laying the woodblock, do you start in the middle, a corner?

Leveling compound should do the trick, just don't expect the stuff to level out on its own, it does need a 'helping hand'

Let it dry sufficiently, the start installing the blocks with appropriate parquet adhesive (Lecol, Ball, etc) If your underfloor is to 'dusty' use sealer of the same brand as the adhesive

Where to begin depends on the pattern you want to install: herringbone start in the middle, brick or basket weave pattern start on a long straight side
