Hello,
I'm planning on laying block parquet in about 35sqm but have no idea how long this will take once I've cleaned the blocks (they're reclamied) and prepped the floor (concrete). I think I'll use the non-bitumin adhesive as suggested by Wood-You-Like and the blocks aren't T&G.
The 35sqm is spread between 2 rooms and a small hallway (all on ground level). Any advice on how much time I should put aside, bearing in mind I'm a novice, would be appreciated. As I'm a complete beginner to this and to make it logistically easier I was thinking of not trying to do all 3 rooms in one go, is this practical?
Also, do all parquet floors need a border of blocks around the circumference of the room?
Last question, how do I check the concrete floor is level enough for the parquet before I start laying them?
It sounds like cleaning the bitumin off the blocks before I start will be a big job in itself! Thanks very much for any advice.
