Advice please on laying a reclaimed parquet floor?
Jun 09, 2008 by myfavouritelucy | Posted in Do It Yourself (DIY)
I have a mountain of oak parquet flooring, in rectangles measuring 6" x 3". They have been on bitumen in the past, and a lot of this remains. Could I use a levelling compound on the floor and then lay these blocks on without the need to remove the bitumen? They are tongue and groove, incidentally, so would the compound, and a tight fit, suffice to keep them secure?
Without seeing it I'd have to say my inclination is to say no.
I'm guessing the glue on the back is a black tarry mess that's not uniform and probably has some trowel marks. When someone speaks of leveling compound it's usually water based like a portland cement type product. If you use something like this it's best to let it dry first so it won't make the wood swell. You can't stick wood down with it.
The best method is probably to locate some new black adhesive. It's often called Cold-Bond or Cold-Stik. You spread this with a 1/4" x 1/4" x 1/4" square notch trowel. If it's too thick to spread you can heat it in the sun. Let it sit up a while after spreading and lay the parquet into it after cleaning as much old adhesive off the back as possible, making sure the tongues and grooves are not damaged and scraping off any filler that may have accumulated between the board faces.
Be careful sanding or grinding the old glue off the back because it may contain asbestos.
I don't want to discourage you but I'd give you a 3 in 10 chance of success. Chances are that the floor will be so uneven after installation that you will have to sand and finish it.

What is the value of used oak or pecan hardwood flooring? (in the Houston TX market)?
Oct 25, 2007 by kd | Posted in Decorating & Remodeling
I'm trying to determine whether it's worth it to reclaim the flooring from a home that is to be demolished.
I'm not well versed on pecan flooring. However, oak is well known to me and if that flooring is not rotten and is basically sound and may only need to be refinished it will be a beautiful floor to reclaim in your house. You really cannot go wrong with oak flooring. It will last a lifetime and is hard wood which means it will be beautiful and can be refinished with floor finish which is also a hard finish. Children or animals cannot do anything to it that can't be fixed and it will add value to your house because it is the real thing. You can stain it dark, light or in between, sand and refinish it and the wood grain will be so beautiful that you will be happy with that floor forever. As far as the pecan.....get online and research that type of flooring and you can make the best decision as to what you would like to do.
